(art by Brian Cooper) Derek takes Bacini to Beaches & Cream for the Kitchen Sink Sundae, as its easier to get an Advance Dining Reservation for “2” rather than just himself. Here’s how that strip is looking now… David feeds his dog inside the room, making sure to only use pet-safe dog food. Brian has even agreed to go back and fix all my crappy drawings in the Dog Friendly Hotel article. I absolutely can’t stand the limitations of my art, and decided to give up doing the David and Derek series forever…until artist Brian Cooper graciously agreed to help me with the art. Here’s an example of MY ARTWORK on a David and Derek that takes a look at Disney’s Dog Friendly Hotels. It is essentially a “Goofus & Gallant” for the theme park world and this is what I like to do the most of anything that I do. These characters are all from the David and Derek series I do at TouringPlans. Standing next to Val are DAVID along with DEREK and BACINI. I had to go with a guy who looks like he would only be on a board because he was hand picked by someone in order to cause chaos. So we needed a person associated with the board to be this character in the drawing. ![]() ![]() This next level bonkers statement was made by a member of the board hand picked by the Florida Governor to replace the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Why? Because they heard that drinking tap water can turn you gay. Next to the TikTok Water Guy is a person sweating profusely.

The toys trying to keep Toy Story Land from falling apart. ![]() This is referencing the header drawing from the 2019 Theme Park Turkeys of Year, also drawn by Brian Cooper. Toy Story’s BUZZ LIGHTYEAR and WOODY are standing at the broken piece of the fountain, with Woody holding a roll of Scotch tape. Disney Springs Fountain.(photo by fountain is cracked because on Oct 6, 2022, a piece fell off the fountain. First up is the FOUNTAIN which sits outside the Lime Garage at Disney Springs. (photo by we’ll start at the first row, from left to right. This story is covered in this year’s edition of the Turkeys. THE OSPREY WHO TOOK ON THE UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT. What an amazing piece of work!īrian stuffed the drawing with so many wonderful details, and we’re going to go over all of them now, starting off at the bottom of the drawing with… Brian took the time to make sure everyone was completely drawn. In my mind when conceiving the idea, I thought Brian would just be able to save time and only draw the heads of most people in the drawing, similar to how most characters were on the Beatles album cover. The fully realized drawing was something better than I could have ever imagined. I was already impressed by the sketches Brian was sending, but when I received the first line art below, my mind was officially blown. Then he started sending updates of his process. The good news is that Brian didn’t immediately block me when he saw the sketch. We’ll get to those stories later in this very article. I know it may seem like a collection of randomness, but I wanted this drawing to not just pay tribute to the historic Beatles album cover, but I also wanted to tell mini-stories within the artwork as well. Below is the version of the 2023 Turkeys Header that I sent Brian. Some get pretty detailed sketches, but Brian Cooper and I are at the point now where I can do the quickest – almost incomprehensible – scribblings and he knows exactly what I’m talking about. I use various levels of detail when it comes to drawing layouts when working with other artists. Because the Turkeys Header has become home to a collection of people, we should pay homage to one of the most iconic art representations of that very thing…The Beatles album cover for Sgt. ![]() Knowing that the 10th Anniversary of the Turkeys was this year, I had an idea of what the drawing would be immediately after finishing last year’s article. Generally speaking, a few months before November the SAT SIX Fun Squad and myself would start to brainstorm what the drawing should be and who should be in it. In last year’s 2022 Turkeys Addendum, we covered the history of the Turkeys Header drawing by artist Brian Cooper and how they have evolved over the years.
