Enthusiastic Teeth

Eye Post

Sketched this on the train. I was thinking about a commercial that played back in the late 1960s for a toy/game called Ka-Bala (the mysterious game that foretells the future) from Transogram, which had some glowing eyeball sticking up from the middle of the playing board-thing.

Unnoticed

Here we have a being from another world attempting to go unnoticed in the year 1968

Cthulhu Kid

Another item produced while riding the train to work.

Trash Fascination

Penciling away on the train.

Uh Goil In Frunna Uh Fentz

Drawings continue!

Doodle Train

Drew this on a rather bumpy ride on the Metra train. Cleaned it up a bit on the computer, but left most of the scruffiness.

A photo from the train ride

Clown Serious

The Post-A-Day project continues!

Doodle-A-Day

I thought for this month, I'd try posting something every day (usually some kind of doodle, I guess).

Today's offering I have entitled: Sad Little Man With A Giant Robot

Special Bonus!

Typically, I've been posting one cartoon a week, but I thought I'd post an extra one.

Thought up a cartoon, and drew this guy -- I decided to go with a different drawing for the cartoon, but liked this drawing one too, so I thought of what the guy might be say, judging from his looks...

Waste Not, Want Not

This is something I drew on a couple of Sticky-Notes (the pic on one, the dialog on another), using a burgundy colored ultra-fine marker.

Modern Survival Tactic #562

Stumble Down Memory Lane

Way Missed Connection

Sorry, Intense Guy reading Nietzsche on the #22 Bus, but your "Missed Connection" ad in the local alternative paper was in fact seen by that "Stunning Blonde". She will now be avoiding the #22 Bus like the plague.

Zombobot

This idea popped into my head on Monday, so thought I'd quickly scribble it out in pencil and post it before I got crazy way too elaborate ideas about it, and actually never get around to even starting it...

It's a well known fact that the modern re-animated corpse, or "zombie" possesses an insatiable hunger for human brains. Would it follow that a zombie robot would crave CPUs?

Cheer Plus

Would the existence of superheroes result in superhero cheerleaders? Would these cheerleaders themselves be "super"? A Cheerleader Plus? Why not a plus-size super-cheerleader?

Scents-Less

With so many "celebrities" putting out perfumes, colognes etc, what if "classic" popular icons got their own fragrances?

Unstormy Future

What can this be? Possibility:

It's February 8th, 1974, and spinster Gladys Windsor, wearing faded batman t-shirt, sits alone in her dark apartment contemplating what life will be like now that Secret Storm is off the air.

Freak Face Fuzz

The last week was so full of distractions (though good ones), that I had to come up with something to post rather quickly (before my self imposed Sunday Night deadline) -- I guess I just didn't have time to make sure the character was presentable...

Glutton Boon

Post-It Pompadour

Something the world needed (especially in the times we are living!): A sloppy Post-It note drawing of a dragon with a way-cool pompadour hair do!

Finalize

The Age Old Question

The Strange B-Day

A week ago, I was playing a movie on the video machine when my doorbell rang. I found it was a younger member of the family next door -- he wished me a "Happy Birthday, man!" and gave me a package from a Bakery. A little surprised, I thanked him, and he went on his way. I opened the bakery box.

Inside was a colossal cupcake with green frosting and the likeness of a baked turkey on top. On the turkey in red jell were the words Happy B-Day Rod (my name being "Rob", that was a little odd...). Yes, a little puzzling, indeed.

Oh, and the cupcake was a little stale, too, but I guess it's the thought that counts.

Seven Times Seven

This being the anniversary of my birth, I'm reminded of what is rumored to be my first words at the age of 18 months (I had remained silent until then) ...

Lines on Paper

This is Just Stupid...

It's the Great Gourd, Charlie Frankenstein

Laughing Life

Phun With Photos

Took a pic of my pal Tim, (Leader (Guru? Lama?) of The Red Plastic Buddha, and the resulting image reminded me of some Covers of Famous Monsters of Filmland -- so, daring to venture into territory not meant for mortal man, I, utilizing the tools of modern technology combined said photograph (altered to give it a slightly "oil painting" look) with an old cover of FMoF:

This does indeed amuse me.

Covered

I recently read that thieves will steal even manhole covers. It got me to wondering where exactly do you get replacement covers. I assume you'd could get them from a manhole cover plant --- but where do these plants grow?

Past Past

Phone Doodle

Was doodling while talking on the phone -- and this is what I drew, unretouched (is that a word??):

Stupid Question

Hey, let's ask a character I just drew with Sharpie markers a question!

Q: Is there a limited amount of total intelligence shared by the entire human race, and the more people there are, the less intelligence is available to each individual ( Or: The higher the population on Earth, the stupider the individuals)?

Mechanical Psychosis

A quick sticky-note cartoon

Emmett Frankenstein

I guess it's time for another Frankenstein AND disturbing clown drawing.

What's Left

Thought I'd doodle something with my left hand. This is the result:

Hmmmm -- perhaps it would be a much more interesting drawing if I said it was an Evil Clown Robot that just wasn't wearing it's make-up...

Every Kid Knows

There was a time when every kid knew that if you put in the effort, you could put together a working robot out of junk you find laying around the neighborhood!

Gell Train

While riding on the commuter train, I doodled in my notebook. Instead of using my usual ultra-fine point marker or a pencil, I was using one of those "gell" pens. Here are some drawings:

Is the woman pictured above worried that her hairstyle makes her look like a member of Deep Purple, circa 1968?

Whatever happened to the "classic" convict look? The orange jumpsuits just don't just don't seem to have the same comic possibilities.

Just an ape-y lookin' thing

Grungy old car. When you see a junky old car sputtering down the street, do you ever think "boy, where ever that's going, I want to be there!" ? -- I didn't think so!

Thinking About Food

I thought that maybe it was about time I did another robot drawing, but this idea was eating away at me, so I drew this first.

Perhaps this fellow just watched The Wizard of OZ, and can't get the Scarecrow's song out of his mind.

Do you suppose Swanson will ever come out with a Hungry Zombie TV Dinner?

Industrial Memorabilia

They've got these conventions & memorabilia shows where they've got actors and other celebrities that will personally autograph photos, books, records and other memorabilia, usually for a fee. Fun and interesting for sure -- But what if they had such autograph/memorabilia shows for working stiffs?

Wouldn't it be fascinating to talk to the last guy (or gal) to make a living operating a Univac Keypunch? A telegraph operator? An eight-track tape deck installer? Yes, one could round up hundreds of ordinary workers from dead industries and have a Festival of Obsolescence!

Applied Anxiety

Just something that popped into my head
