It’s a horror just to be nominated

29 August 2014

An unscheduled two week outage. Aside from the day to day distractions of work and whatnot, there was a card to be made for my daughter’s birthday. Maybe shall post that in the blog next week.

I actually have no issue with the ice bucket challenge thing sweeping the internets. I just thought the idea of the boiling ammonia challenge to be funny. Plus the thought of someone taking it as a CHALLENGE challenge – to out do or take it to the next level. Plus someone who is not us gets hurt and that is always the funnys.

Rod Serling’s Night Cubicle

25 July 2014

If the dodo’s took over, I wonder if we would even notice. Other than obviously banning eggs for easter. Or maybe not – they may not have any strong opinion on chicken eggs. Like that Star Trek episode with the two guys who are white/black and black/white. The difference would only matter to them.

Glorbification

18 July 2014

‘Not with a bang but a glorb.”

Someday if/when someone analyzes this and speaks of social commentary, I plan to just go along with it. “Yes yes totally meant that. I’m all about metaphors.”

I would think while re-creating dinosaurs and making apes servants have their inherent dangers, it would be bringing back a species we made extinct that is the real threat. Clearly they would have a very biased opinion of how to make things Right.

Justifiable paranoia

10 July 2014

The idea of a naked invisible exhibitionist amuses me to no end. He is naked, but you can’t see him so is it still a problem? He loves it but does that alone make it wrong? Is MacGuffin overthinking or is he the only sane one?

I think we all know there is a little Reuben in all of us. Don’t we? No? Well maybe you’re just kidding yourself. And maybe I’m typing this without pants.

The world will never know for sure.

THE BOLD TASTE OF LIBERTY

3 July 2014

I always planned for the comics near holidays to be more impulsive in a way and simple – avoid over thinking. The idea being a) to make for less time involved when obviously near holidays time was in a crunch and b) try ideas that I would not normally use.

In reality, it turns out that b) happens, but I actually spend more time on these. “What would Winston look like with a giant M-80 in his ear.” becomes “Why can’t I find good photo reference of ham-pineapple jello?”.

There is a lesson in there but damned if I’ll learn it.

Glorb.

27 June 2014

Remember – feeling glorb is perfectly natural. It’s how you express the glorb that matters.

Kafka, Fran and Ollie

20 June 2014

Full disclosure: I’ve never actually read The Metamorphosis. I am familiar with the story and while I’m  not sure how it would go over as a children’s show, I bet it would make a great musical. When that actually happens, remember you heard the idea here first.
