It's supposed to be Peter Lorre
but it ended up looking a bit like Clark Gable to me. Obviously not as chiseled as he's normally portrayed but the upper lip merged with a thin pencil mustache that gable was known to sport. Maybe I'm going a little batty after starring into Lorre's big eyes for too long. Either way I'm trying to work out the kinks these days. I'm gonna be doing a lot of drawing soon for a comic I'm working on the side for. I'll update when I can to not give things away.
Then the second picture you see there is a poster of one of my favorites. "M". Where Peter Lorre plays a twisted murderer on the loose in Germany 1934. We follow his story and that of the police that are after him. Directed By Fritz Lang it's a black and white visual marvel through and through. We went to a screening the other night and I had to get a picture with this graphic masterpiece. One day if I have it my way, a copy of this will hang in my man cave.
Gomez: I see both Clark and Peter. I know how you got confused: All their names have five letters. It's the same plroblem you'd have if you drew Brad Pitt-- some of Karl Dane would slip in there. In any case, I like it.
