Random Stuff

Okay, so now that I’ve gotten most of the Mr. Mom Angst out of my system I can focus on far more silly things.

PERHAPANAUTS for example. I’m doing a commission for Brian Mulcahy. Actually, I’m doing a page out of the ‘Nauts story he wrote and Todd posted on the Perhapablog. The title is DOWN IN THE DUMPS and it is posted in three easy to digest installments. I can’t figure out how to link directly to the story, so you’ll have to scroll down a bit. Sorry ‘bout that.

In an attempt to get further immersed in the holiday spirit I’ve been watching the Happy Tree Friends Christmas shorts. Blood looks so much better on virgin white snow.

While researching a totally different matter, I cane across an old Richard Dawkins documentary that he made regarding one or more of his books on evolution. Actually, he made the film due to the insane responses he got from the extreme Left and Right of society. I thought it used the prisoner’s dilemma pretty well to demonstrate why social creatures do better cooperating than when they look out for Number One. Yet another reason to crucify all the neo-cons in a big field somewhere, and for good measure, set them on fire.

On a work related note, I finished the pencils for ATOMIC ROBO #3 today. Gerry Anderson’s influence will be obvious in the Science Tank. At least for anyone old enough to actually have a clue who Gerry Anderson was.

This issue of Robo has been particularly challenging. Pyramids, clockwork mummies, strange vehicles, cargo planes, and giant vehicle bays. Not to mention an interesting supporting cast of Action Scientists to help Robo out.

Dee naively asked the other night, while I was bitching about some difficult panel, if I got paid more when Brian made me work harder. Bless her little heart.
