Good Samaritan On Wheels

Thought I'd do a quite sketch of a motorscooterer.

Now, this scooter guy could be star of a new TV series! Yes! I'll call it WALK ON BUTTER, and it'll be about this guy named Dan Butter, see, who inspired by TV shows like ROUTE 66, THE FUGITIVE and KUNG-FU, decides he's going to sell everything he owns, buy a scooter and travel across the country getting involved in people's lives. But instead of changing people's lives in a big way like in those other shows, he'll just end up helping move a couch, walking a dog or clipping someone's toenails -- basically stuff they'd rather not do, and have just found a sap who'll do it for nothing.

Strange Conformity

That's odd -- thought I posted this at 3am... Oh well, here's Friday's post:

Why is it that in real life, strange and weird kids are treated with derision and avoided by the "regular" kids, but you put such a person as the main character in a movie (who is now heroically battling conformity), and everybody "identifies" and roots for the character?

Heading Out, A Tear for the Rubbish

I've noticed that there was a lack of creepy living heads in jars on this blog, so am rectifying the situation herewith.

This one would appear to like having his picture taken, I'd say!

Excuse me if I get on my soapbox here, but I do have a bone to pick with some cinematic (an televised) mad scientists. Many times, one finds bodyless heads talking -- yet without some air passing over the vocal chords, tongue and through the lips, speech wouldn't be possible -- there would be the need for some kind of air-pump or bellows connected up to the disembodied individual to enable this capacity, yet typically no such apparatus is apparent -- I think this must be a oversight on the film makers part. If any cinematic mad scientists are reading this, please correct this in the future!

Some pics from this week.

Oh, such sad trash...

Psychedelic Gag, Cherubic Nightmare

I could call this one Eclipse of the Lavender Sun, but that would be like it was art or something -- instead, I'll call it Two Abstract & Inane Guys:

First Guy: My feet hurt

Second Guy: I keep telling you -- the cleats go on the Outside Of the Shoe!

Now it's a cartoon!

More pics from last Saturday

I'm sure this would have totally creeped me out when I was a kid:

Cobbler Special, Decrepitude In Concrete

I call this one For Sale: Two Story Boot. Needs Laces.

All these pics were taken around the intersection of Ashland & Cortland, last Saturday

Reverse Time Capsule

Well, here's something that amused me when I drew it seven years ago.

click on it to enlarge!

Well, I guess one must be in a certain state of mind for that one...

Olfactory Apocalypse, Shadow Angels

Today we present another entry in the Legion of Crummy Heroes series. Though I had the idea for this one for a while, I didn't put anything down on paper till I quickly scribbled this out on Saturday night (it was a busy day!)

This is the SKUNKQUISTADOR. I think that kind of tells you everything you need to know about that...

Was walking around the Bucktown area on Saturday, taking lots of pictures. These are of St. Mary of the Angels
