Giants vs. Cowboys

This is why I'm not a huge football fan. When I hear "Giants vs Cowboys," I imagine something along these lines...

...in which case I'd bet on the giants every single time.

Green Lantern

Below is the Green Lantern redesign that DC unveiled yesterday, complete with gimp mask, biker gloves and gun. This called for a redesign.

I hope that gun is worth the beating Batman is going to give him for breaking Rule #1.

Lusty Faith

Last Friday, I issued another four-panel story challenge. This time the theme was "lusty faith". An old joke immediately came to mind, and here's what I came up with:

SFX: Abbey bell tolls.

SFX: Birds chirping, gentle breeze blowing.

SFX: Nuns giggle.

Nun: "You two will stop giggling at once, or heaven help me I'll put the seats back on these bicycles!"

Dance with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight

Getting excited for Snyder and Capullo's take on the Joker. 

My favorite interpretation of the character has always been Bruce Timm's Joker performed by Mark Hamill. Just the right balance of folly and genuine menace.

The Man with the Golden Pun

Since James Bond works with Q and M, I've always been curious what a completely alphabetized version of the Bond universe might look like.

Dr. O
Font Russia With Love
Live and Let "i"
On Her Majuscule's Secret Service
The "i" Who Loved Me
Runeraker
For Your "i"s Only
A "Q" to a Kill
License to Spell
Golden "i"
Die Another J

Frankly, the thought gives me irritable vowel syndrome.

The Scotland Company

Have you ever wondered about the ancient beginnings of Scotland and how the first highlanders came to tame such a rugged land of myth and legend? Neither have we! But we decided to make up our own version of Scotland's origin anyway. 

In Thunderbird Theatre's The Scotland Company, I play Henry G. I. Scot, Official Royal Secretary of the Interior of the Common Wealth of Great Britain, Steward of the Interests of the etc, etc....

Together with his cadre of comical cohorts, Henry endeavors to uncover the great mystery that lies under all that plaid... 

Thunderbird is also running an indiegogo page for The Scotland Company. If you're a supporter of the arts, or just wanna be a producer, please donate here.

Chades Challenge LXVIII: Captive Frontiersmen

A lot of people envy Captain Kirk, but I think that same charm that won over Shahna, the gladiatorial dominatrix from Triskelion, also attracted some much less savory attention. Way to boldly go where no man has gone before, Cap'n.

If you have any designs of your own, let me know and I'll post them below. As always, all are welcome to contribute! Otherwise, you can join in September 7th for...

AT-AT for Atty

Congrats to my good pal and fellow Dandy, Dovi, who's son Atticus arrived late last night. For most literate folks, the name Atticus conjures the staunch integrity and courage of the hero in Harper Lee's classic. For me, however... 

Needless to say, baby Atty's already targeted the shield generator of my heart.

Puppy Love

I think every amusement park, campsite, marina, and DMV should come with a "rent a puppy" kiosk.

ParaNorman

Getting in the mood for ParaNorman with some zombie sketching. I heard the hero is based on a professor of mine from CalArts, Norman Klein. I always suspected Norman fought monsters in his spare time...
