rainy hippie hero primate fashions

A couple of weeks ago after encountering what seemed to be the 50th youth asking "Do you care about the environment?", I started thinking about an "Environmental Super Hero".

Having a completely silly mind, I had to come up with something ridiculous, of course:

Guardian Green (sounds so much more pompous than "Green Guardian").

GG was born on a commune and was raised in The Way Of The Hippie. He uses Super-Caring and Hippie Wizdom to defend nature against the onslaught of Evil Men.

Naturally, he needs to have an arch enemy; I came up with that too: Chimp Waxer.

Chimp Waxer is the alter-ego of Count Sergio de Vincenzo, Billionaire Fashion Magnate and world famous bon vivant. In the guise of Chimp Waxer, Vincenzo has implimented a mad plan to denude chimpanzees of all their hair. The Chimps, shamed by their nakedness will flock to the stylish Vincenzo line of clothing, thus expanding his market beyond the human race. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL-- The person known as Count Vincenzo is merely the physical proxy of a centuries old living brain, abiding in a bell jar hidden deep in Castle Vincenzo! Wow, crazy, huh?? Yes, the original Count has in fact been possesing the mind and bodies of descendants in each subsequent generation of Vincenzo, switching to a new body as the old one dies.
Yeah, I know there aren't enough chimps to make much of a market for fashionable blue jeans, but I said it was a MAD plan!
OK, now we have some rainy pics from my neighborhood taken last last Saturday

Ah, those wacky environmentalists! We'll all be chuckling about them as our cancer rates skyrocket, weather starts getting crazy and blood is shed over oil reserves. Oh...wait...D'OH!!!

Like the cartoons though, dude. You should ink them so they show up a little better. Kind of grayed out on the site.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I guess how things look on the site depends on your monitor (or how the brightness/contrast is set). One person said some of the photos are "too dark", while it sounds like your's may be bright. I like the way the pencil looks on these drawings-- at least on my monitor.
