Blast from the Past #207: Dinosaur Disco

Here's another dinosaur-themed drawing from the distant past -- 1978. I'm pretty sure this was not done to make money, but rather just for fun.



This piece contains one of the few examples of my hand-drawn lettering with which I was actually satisfied. -- PL

    It's nice to see carnivores and herbivores getting along for a change. Disco has a way to bring everyone together.

    This is great. It reminds me of the 90's sitcom Dinosaurs.

    Mr. Laird,

    I just found this listing on ebay and I thought you might be interested:

    Do you remember this one at all? Was this something that you did together with Kevin? It's a really cool piece. I'm a fan of the demon, so it's neat for me to see a turtle dressing up as Etrigan.

    Although I don't remember the specifics of how that drawing came about, I do remember it -- I penciled it and Kevin Eastman inked it. That was a "done for fun" piece. -- PL
