First there was the Ice Cream Van and now Rupert Grint is fulfilling another childhood fantasy. Rupert has decided to finally put pencil to paper and has begun drawing his own original comic strip. “The Funnies were always my favorite part of the Sunday paper,” says Grint,”and one morning I thought about how wicked it would be to have something I drew in there.”
The strip entitled SHUPERT follows a young ginger by the name of Shupert Clint as he goes on many hilarious adventures on the quest for the perfect prank with his two best friends Gemma Voltson and Manuel Radledge. The trio’s good times are hindered however by the evil school principal named Mr. Groves, who is determined to make sure Shupert never reaches his full prankster potential. Have no fear though, because with brilliant Gemma and quirky Manuel at his side, Shupert shows that no one can stop him from reaching his goal.
When asked on the alluded to “more than friends” relationship between Shupert and Gemma, Grint said “Well, Em and, um, I mean Gemma and Shupert are just really great mates right now.” This lead to the inevitable question of whether this strip was art imitating life for Rupert Grint to which he replied “Yeah, I mean, not really, but I guess maybe a little.”
The artist working at his desk
Julz, like I told you before, this picture gave me butterflies! I hope one day he does get to work on his artistic side too
Seeing him at a big drafting table drawing would be the greatest thing ever!
Shupert Clint, Gemma Watson and Manuel Radledge, that is so damn funny. and yeah, I’d love to see more of his artwork as well.
Amazing Dunigan! What a imagination you have! Loved, loved loved, specially “the evil Mr. Gloves”! Hahaha
Oh how I wish this could be true too!
I’d love to see him drawing this way.
And Rupert, of course we all know that Gemma and Shupert are more than just mates!
You are hilarious, girl!
“Yeah, I mean, not really, but I guess maybe a little.”
LOL)))
It was brilliant!
for a split second there I thought that picture was REAL! =p gosh I’m so stupid sometimes lol =D
I could so see Rupert doing that one day. And what’s best, I could see him doing it additionally to acting and directing work.
Anyway, for the moment, this was such a fun read. Wonderfully done, Julz.
thanks guys!
inspirational credit goes to Dove for being an awesome illustrator and making me imagine what it would be like if Rupert was one too
and dont be embarrassed about thinking it was real for a second Ronja because that is a great compliment for me. Thanks!
Hahahah, i don’t know about you guys, but i call that the Funnies should be a regular strip for Grintastic!
yeah, I think we all know who Shupert and Gemma are
So cute though
