In this Halloween episode of Johnny Bravo, Johnny meets a mad scientist putting together this undead beauty. Due to Johnny’s physique the scientist want to use his body to make another undead creature, her husband, with the joke of the episode obviously being the monster runs away from Johnny rather than what you’d usually expect. What’s interesting about this Bravo girl is she, to my knowledge, is the only one to actually marry Johnny, as we see them as a bitter married couple for the episode’s closing gag. Maybe there were some other instances where Johnny tied the knot with someone, I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the show, but at the very least I think him getting with her is much closer to canon than it would be for most of the ladies who appeared in his show.
I’ve wanted to draw Bunny Bravo for a while now, so I figured now that I’ve broken the ice with this franchise I should just go ahead and do it. Johnny as her partner, with his signature catch phrase, just felt like no-brainers once I decided to go ahead and draw her.
While I’m sure he probably still comes on too strong most of the time, Johnny’s success rate in the Studio is bound to be better than it was in his original show. The third episode of that show was a fun crossover with Scooby-Doo, and I thought letting Johnny hook up with Daphne and Velma would be a fun and sensible first crossover for him. I don’t know how often I’ll be drawing him, since his stylized appearance and exaggerated proportions don’t naturally translate easily into my usual style, but I really wanted to fit this in while he’s on my mind. In the episode Johnny hits on Daphne, who rebuffs him like all the women in the show do, while Velma’s into him but ignored. I’d like to do an inverse of this dynamic eventually, where Velma gets some Bravo D, but for now I went this route since Daphne doesn’t always get as much love in my work.
Johnny Bravo’s a character who’s canonical proportions him difficult to work with, but I wanted to take a stab at this pairing so I went for it. Hopefully I was able to find a middle ground. There’s a couple of ideas I’ve had for Bravo content in my head for a good while now, we’ll see if I get to any of them, but in the meantime I think this is a fun first attempt.
