Puny Brain Bone Skull

While thinking about Brains in Jars the other day, scribbled this with my trusty pencil:

Prelude to Gentrification

This idea popped into my head when I saw the cover story of the latest New City newspaper ("...written by a Junkie")

Road Kill

A semi-valuable addition to The Legion of Crummy Heroes, Road Kill made his debut in STEVE FALCON: THE WINGLESS EAGLE issue no. 125, Aug. 1974

Road Kill gets the guy who "got away" -- Those criminals who "beat the system" and escaped justice through legal loopholes, bribes and law enforcement incompetence.  Road Kill has the ability to be in the "right place at the right time" (or wrong place at the wrong time, depending on your point of view): Under the wheels of evil-doers who thought they were in the free-and-clear.  The perps then find themselves in an endless cycle of lawsuits, traffic citations and Road Kill's medical bills!

Ash Can

Some photographic fun here.  Took a pic of a yucky looking ash can, and turned it into an album cover for the classic '60s -'70s band ASH CAN.

Rest Assured

Something scribbled on the way to work.

Normal Now

It Doesn't Have to Make Sense

The Electric Haystack

Dental Plan

It's been a while, so here's a new Frankenstein cartoon:

8B Pencil

Drew this with an 8B pencil while riding the El on Sunday.

Livin' the Dream

What a Drag.

Psychoticism

Ever see this 1970s era Euro Horror flick?

I remember the radio commercials for this thing.  The reverbed voice of Adolph Caesar intones: "... Watch as His UNHOLY PASSION fills the screen with Unimagined Vistas of PURE HORROR..." while in the background, sounds of  chains rattling, women screaming and Klaus Kinski's demented giggle are accompanied by Gregorian chanting.

Oh, wait you probably couldn't have seen it since I just made all this up!!  -- But it could have been a movie...

Oh, and Joseph Cotten would be in too. His scenes would have been shot in two days.

National Frankenstein Day

In honor of National Frankenstein Day, I whipped this up in the lab:

Make It Happen

Modern Discourse

Tailor Made

Following the logic...

Go Go Grotesque

Even grotesque drawings could use a break.

Led Pencilin'

While riding the Metra train, drew this between the Rogers Park and Clybourn stations.

Vaudeville Killers

Jump On the Maybe Train

Monotony Pays

Obvious, in Retrospect

Say No to Skid Row

Just a doodling on the way to work

New Super Villain

From the flipside of The Legion of Crummy Super Heroes, we've got lousy villains! 

Visions of the Future #249

Dream Small

Frayed Memories

Post Hip

Disconnected

Quickly scribbled while riding the L Train

NSA Calling

Cue the Calliope

Good Question

Five Year Plan

Today, 6/7/13, is the Fifth Anniversary of the Meander Box!

Knucklehead White-Knuckling

While crossing intersections, I do seem to be encountering more drivers like the above.

Today's Compliment is Tomorrow's Insult

Commute Plus

On Wednesday, my daily 18 minute commute downtown was expanded to 90 minutes.  Not really an completely unpleasant experience, but there were others who may felt differently...

Beatocalypse

AstroFan

Eventually, television signals will reach the farthest reaches of the Galaxy, and when they do...

Lending a Helping Tentacle

I think it's time for a Disturbing Clown cartoon -- Don't you?

Yeah, Yeah...yeah...

Exit: Stage Left

Degreaser

Required Ambition

An Inaction Movie

Success Was Just Around the Corner

Fiddling Through the Fire

I pick up the daily free "junior" newspaper here in the Big City, and sometimes find it somewhat unsettling to find the local Lightweight Hipster column ("Drink Your Brains out AND Make It To Work On Monday!!") sandwiched between the National Disasters and Local Tragedies.

Daily Diversion

Life as We Know It

How about a smudgy pencil drawing commenting on or modern culture (or whatever)?
