Alas, Michelle didn't qualify for the Olympics, but I'm betting she's more popular than most of the gold medalists!

A Dire Situation

For my friends who just announced they are expecting. When I have a kid, I'm going to travel North and I'm not coming back until I have a dire wolf pup for said baby!

Ear No Evil, Sneeze No Evil, Hack No Evil

A thank you card for a friend of a friend of a friend who is an ear, nose, and throat doctor. Unfortunately the friend (of my friend, not the friend of my friend's friend) didn't go for my first "nose" gag.

Bane Teaser

Boba Fett, Dr. Doom, Cobra Commander, Michael Myers, Blank, Sauron. Masked mystery villains are a staple of genre fiction. Is the character protecting their identity? Are they deformed? Do they need the mask to survive? And most importantly, what the heck is under there? Here are a few of my theories for the latest masked mystery villain, Bane.

Or maybe the mask just to prevents him from biting his nails.

SPIDER-MAN'S NEW SIDEKICK

(This month Marvel is giving Spider-man his very own sidekick, Alpha. Guy's got a pretty generic design, if you ask me. I think we can do better--what say you??)

And one more from the "Rejection" story challenge a couple weeks back, from Martin "The Martian" O'Neill:

Answer: Coffee

Answer: A dinosaur (on one side of their scales is a feather, on the other side is the rest of the dinosaur!)

Monday Warm-Up Sketch

Aside from The Joker, I'd say Catwoman is my favorite villain in Batman's rogue gallery. After seeing Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, I was convinced that Paula Patton had the perfect balance of kick-assery and charm to portray the character. I've yet to see Dark Knight Rises, though, so we'll see if CatwomANNE pulls it off!

No Pain, No Bane

In our excitement for the upcoming Batman movie, my friend Jeff and I decided to do a collaborative Batman vs Bane sketch. Jeff drew Batman first, and I added Bane. 

I figured Batman, being the clever fellow he is, would defeat Bane by taking advantage of his RSI wrist brace.

Genetic Engineering
