Yesterday was my thirty-fifth birthday and it will be known forever as the day the King of Pop died. Just like Elvis, Jackson appears to have died from a massive heart attack. I'm quite curious nw to see if Jackson will replace Elvis as most profitable dead celebrity. Anyway, with the subject of "Thriller" being about a zombie uprising, how could I resist? I'd post the video for "Thriller" but it seems all they are all embed disabled. Bastards! So here's 1500 prisoners doing the Zombie Dance. Screw you W&M and your "world record over 200 people Zombie Dance."
It's Up! June 19, 2009, 5:48 pm
Posted the comic a bit later than intended but at least it's up on time. You may have noticed the little tail walking across the panels. Looks a lot like Garfield's, huh? Well today is Garfield's birthday, so I thought I'd throw that in as an homage. Honestly I thought it made more sense since he's a comic strip character. Paula Abdul would have looked out of place (today is her birthday as well...).
Comic Will Be Up Later... June 18, 2009, 7:52 pm
Due to a number of factors, mainly being that I had to work two extra hours at work and only just got in a little while ago, the comic will be updated Friday afternoon. Just wanted to give yu guys the heads up.
My Newest Obsession... June 17, 2009, 4:34 am
It seems that I am on a "Punch and Judy" kick lately. Many years ago, when I was a kid, Busch Gardens in Williamsburg used to have a strolling "Punch and Judy" show that walked around their England section. I've always loved puppetry and I just got the biggest kick out of the show. They don't do "Punch and Judy" anymore. In this day and age where a kid can get expelled from school for drawing Han Solo shooting stormtroopers "Punch and Judy" aren't really politically correct. You got Punch, who gets into a fight with his neighbor, throws his baby out the window, beats his wife and a policeman to death, talks his hangman into hanging himself, and kill s the devil. And it's for kids! In fact I started doing some research of the history of "Punch and Judy." It's really quite fascinating. I've always assumed that it was just puppets wailing on each other (not having seen "Punch and Judy" in twenty-five years...) but there is a story involved. The puppeteer, called a Professor, usually adapts the story to his or her own style. Needless to say I'd really like to put on my own "Punch and Judy" show. This hippie-dippie, feel good, liberal politically correct doucheness be damned!
And in a strange twisted piece of coincidence, I got a compilation album with this song on it a couple of days ago:
This will probably be my favorite song of the summer...
I Reallly Was Inspired... June 15, 2009, 7:02 am
I came across this by way of Grant Imahara of Mythbusters who is one of the few "celebrities" I follow on Twitter (the others being "Weird" Al, Penn Jillete, Adam Savage, Wil Weaton, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day...). Grant linked to this page which shows a full scale replica Gundam. I thought it was pretty cool and thought, "Gee I wonder what else they could make a full size replica of?" So here we are. When they build a full scale version of the SDF-1, then color me impressed...
