Mop top by don freeman6/5/2023 When the two halves of Skitzafroid are reunited after the workday, an unexpected eye-opener gives Floyd the push he needs to find a solution that will allow him to enjoy his passions without compromising his financial freedom. But while this half paints and walks around pleasantly greeting those he meets, the other Floyd is confined to a desk, interacting only with paperwork, a looming boss, and his own disrupting thoughts. Roy has the complete color mockup and is working on a new ending to this story using some additional original illustrations by Don from Paris. The contented Floyd quickly evades his morose counterpart in favor of a trip to his studio, sporting a broad grin throughout the day. Shortly after he leaves the house, Floyd splits into two: one a carefree artist, the other a grumpy worker with no time to spare. Skitzafroid’s wife worries that he is culture-starved and overworked, but she is only half right. Without the use of dialogue, his fluid and economical illustrations create an engrossing and fully believable environment, seducing the reader into a familiar world where expressive, gestural drawings explore the possibility of striking a perfect balance between work and play.įloyd W. Published in the centennial year of Don Freeman’s birth, Skitzy follows a day in the life of a man literally divided between life as an office worker and life as an artist.
