I first heard of Dave Cooper around the turn of the century. While the world was getting it’s Y2K on, I was smitten with funny books, and my friend Fredo had turned me onto this great series called Weasel. Each new edition featured a chapter of Ripple, a story about an artist obsessed with Tina, his fat model.

Years later, Dave Cooper is doing more fine art painting, and less comic illustration, but I was thrilled to see some of his characters animated in this video for Danko Jones.
