Description

Tony Millionaire’s cartoons seem to be artifacts from a Victorian Era that got over its hang-ups and learned how to tie one on—“Popeye” as written by Eugene O’Neill. My goal was to make it look like something you’d unearth in your grandmother’s attic, just after she’d been shipped off to the Better Days home for the elderly.
