Hey, gang! Your friendly neighborhood Fogeys artist, Marc here! Since Brock if off enjoying a well deserved vacation, I thought I would pop in here and share some non-SuperFogeys art. One of my All Time favorite shows as a child was ‘The Greatest American Hero’. William Katt starred as Ralph Hinkley, a meek high school teacher who becomes the owner of a fantastic suit that grants the wearer unimaginable powers. However, shortly after receiving the suit from some mysterious aliens, Ralph looses the instruction manual and hilarity and adventure ensues. The incomparable Robert Culp and the stunning Connie Sellecca as FBI agent Bill Maxwell and Ralph’s lawyer/ girlfriend, Pam Davidson respectively round out an excellent cast.
This piece is my little tribute to the spirit of a show that brought many a smile was brought to my young face.
Here's a look at the pencils.

If you like my work here, why not swing on over and “Like” my Facebook page. I’ve got all kinds of fun stuff posted over there.
I had never even heard of that show before (Because of me being an alien, a gringo, a gaijin, or whatever you wanna call it.), it’s incredible the amount of neat and literally awe-inspiring stuff one misses due to spacial, temporal, idiomatic, and or mental barriers between the author(s) and the potential witness(es), is it not?
This drawing would be soooo much funnier if I had seen the show, but the character in it already looks ridiculous all by himself! Mehehehe!
I always wondered why he didn’t use his hologram suit-sight to find the manual. He could hold the box the suit came in and locate the manual, that used to be attached to the box, out in the desert where he dropped it.
Too Fuckin’ easy for television in the 60′s.
