Frankenbilly

Another quick idea...

I call this Frankenstein Meets the Hillybilly Kings of Royale Mountain

I was just thinking -- There are illiterates, so can there be an artform called illiterature specifically intended for this group??

Just a couple of quick drawings.

This one could be a scene from a new Great American Novel - The Rat Dude's Wife

Here we have Stick Lincoln Running

Fabric of Sanity

Just a Doodle -- I think I'll call this Mad Abbot in Burlap

Keep at it Till You Get it Right

A discussion on the possible remake of the YELLOW SUBMARINE movie made me think of this bit of silliness:

Sell the Fizzle, Not the Fake

At the hight of the cold war, there was a secret government laboratory experimenting with genetic modification of human beings, the goal being to create an society of supermen. One department would concentrate on developing physically superior soldiers, another mental geniuses, another super-moms.

One particularly strange attempt was the Super-Salesman, who's aim was to sell the idea of capitalism throughout the world.

A secret formula was created for this purpose, and a young, slovenly, socially inept dweeb by the name of Charles "Spaz" Rodgers was recruited to test the effectiveness of the treatment

As it turned out, the experiment was a success, and Rodgers became...

Unfortunately, the parallel experiment with the super soldier had gone horribly wrong (or perhaps worked all too well...), and the newly created Super-Soldier went on a wild spree of death and destruction. Ironically, the only survivor of this tragedy was Rodgers, who used his super-affability to talk his way out of the compound before it and everybody in it were blown to bits.

Due to the tragic results of this expriment, the government deemed the program a failure, and closed it down. Rodgers was the first and last of the scientifically created super-beings. He eventually changed his name to "Wink" and became a game show host.

Melting Pot of Lunacy

Lock a blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter, a Long-Haired Freak, and a resurrected 4,000 year old Egyptian mummy in a room and make them come up with a new heroic comic book duo, and what do you get?

SPACE-HIPPY & BIG ANKH!

Window Pain

As there is a new world of "social networking" through the interenet, there has also evolved a new a new kind of social reject -- Someone who is allowed to be an Internet "friend", but one who would not be invited to an actual real-world social gathering. In the olden days, those who did not make the A, B,C or even D List could be quite unaware of the various gatherings they'd not been invited to, and thus be spared the feelings of being snubbed; But today, multiple pics of these friendly gatherings can be shared by all in a particular "social network". Now, with their noses pressed against the Electronic Window Pane, the Ethernerds can see yet another world they will not be a part of.

Pod Cat

Pampered, spoiled, bored...

I guess if Morris the (Finicky) Cat of the 9 Lives cat food commercials had been a human, they probably would have gotten George Sanders to play him. Above even the much publicized "finickiness", Morris seemed to emminate and aura of "anti-energy" an attitude of "... I've already done everything that is worth doing in life, so you can't show me anything that could possibley excite my interest"; even blinking his eyes seemed a been-there-done-that chore.

Some time in the late 70s (I think), I'd noticed a change in Morris - The voice was the same, and he vocalized the same attitude and all, but his actions weren't right -- something was just off-- he seemed too energetic -- the look of perpetual ennui in his eyes had been replaced with something almost perky. Was this the real Morris in these commercials, or was this some kind of "pod cat" like something out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers??

Well, I eventually found out that the original "Morris" had passed away, and had been replaced by an understudy or something. That explained the change.

Funny how they found a replacement who had the exact same voice!
