OSCAR. HE'S A GROUCH






















"Of course i'm a grouch....... i live in a f**kin' trash-can!!!"

Months ago i mentioned my interest in street-level characters and in the comments section someone (i'm looking at YOU Liam) joked/requested Oscar. I guess you can't get any more street-level than that. Never let it be said i don't bow to peer pressure.

Dec.

I think this piece should be titled:
'Declan's Future'

Stephen Thompson said...

One of my favourite Dec pieces. Would make a great cover, I think.

Liam Geraghty said...

Ah, this is great!

I'm sending a bunch of dead flowers to you, Dec.

Declan Shalvey said...

Send those flowers to Thompson Liam, cuz it sounds like he's gone crazy.

This is deadly,deccie.
Don`t know why you`re not liking it,to be honest.

There`s only one thing bad about it.It`s not HOUSE!

Deirdre de Barra said...

Sweet! Can I have it on a t-shirt!

Tom said...

Or a print! This would look kick-ass next to the hellboy lithograph in the nursery!

Liam Geraghty said...

Right, Thompson gets the flowers so.

I was also thinking this would be nice on a tee.

Fav Oscar the Grouch moments time I think! In the Great Muppet Caper Miss Piggy steals a truck off Peter Ustinov, throwing him out of his seat into a pile of trash.

Cue Oscar - "Hey, what's all the racket?"

Ustinov: "What are you doing here?"

Oscar: "A very brief cameo."

Ustinov (muttering) "Me, too."

I've been told Oscar also appears in Night of the Museum 2 alongside Darth Vader!!

It's Dec's spirit animal, though you'd never know 'cause he smells so fantastic, but inside he's a filthy animal.

This is really cool, Dec.

Declan Shalvey said...

Really...? Yeah, sure, if you really want it, it's yours.

Oh, and thanks to all for the comments!
