USA: A US artist has turned himself into a comic by having blank panels tattooed on his arm - which he fills in every day. Patrick Yurick wanted to combine his love of comics with an unfulfilled desire to get a tattoo. The perfect opportunity presented itself when the 30-year-old from San Diego saw a coupon deal for a cut-price inking. He said: “I have wanted a tattoo for over a decade but could never commit to a design. “I am too picky with my art and being married to one single design on my body was always a tough decision. “I decided on a four panel format as an homage to Bill Watterson, author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
