When I was at Russell's blog the other day, I came across the Ben Franklin page again. I decided to blatantly crib from his work, because that's the kind of guy I am.

EDIT:
Here's the color version I was playing around with tonight. I tried out some bloom lighting and different effects I found in various tutorials to create the light cast from the lightning bolts, but nothing turned out useable. It looks wrong without the lighting, it looks wronger with the lighting I tried to render. If somebody has a good method on hand, I'd love to hear it.

I like that drawing, especially the paunch and the wild hair. (And of course, the "shocker"!)
The colored version is pretty solid, but you're right about the lightning looking a little weird. Whenever I think about coloring something like that (which I never do) I think about lightsaber coloring. White in the middle, fading color glow on the edges. Don't ask me how to achieve that.
