Moebius a while back, drew a picture and called it Apple Pie. It was a young petite girl holding onto her nipples with her eyes closed looking away. Then Brandon Graham drew something along those lines, after I think Paul Pope drew a cover(as in cover band) of it and got people to draw the same thing, but under their interpretation.
I’m a few months late in my cover.

Brandon Graham on his blogthing, said that people should embrace the Starwatcher that the illustrator Moebius drew, much like people did with his applepie redraws. Which is a great idea.

There are new cartoons for kids that are ripping on our childhood. For instance, there is a new Voltron cartoon out. I hate to be the to say this, but it isn’t half bad. Take into consideration that Voltron was monster of the day that the Lion force had to battle with the same formula. This new one takes the multi-arc strategy to storytelling.
Plus they added kids.
I know, I know. Fucking kids. Yes, they have kids. This isn’t for you or me, it’s for children and this is their Robin. A way to view the show’s continuity from a relatable point of view. Voltron is pushing three decades. Most kids haven’t heard of Voltron unless their parents introduced it to them. It would be their gateway drug like it was for most of us into Anime.
My six year old has watched the show from Netflix & Hulu. He knows the show. He’s familiar enough with the show to starting humming the theme on occasion and then start the transformation chant. You can expect that someone with a background of the show, he’s want more of the same. Reject change and just want the show to be the same damn thing over and over again. He likes the new one too.
It’s easy enough for him to get and plot lines are pretty simple. There are two sets of bad guys now. Lotor and Galaxy Alliance both want Voltron destroyed. Both for different reasons. One for a simple reason & the other for a reason that made Lotor’s seem nobel.
There is an upgrade to all the tech in the show. New deux ex machina devices for all the cast members. The lions all retain their look with some rendering. But the space of the cabin areas does seem too great. Minor quibble, this is Nicktoons so there is a budget and there will be recycling in a way that the Japanese will call excessive.
But really my six year old likes the show. Even the music. We’ll see how long that last.

I ran into an old, well she’s young and I doubt she would like to be called old, friend a couple weeks back at Chipotle, even weirder that a vegetarian was at Chipotle, but that’s besides the point. We ended up talking about how men don’t really age mentally about mid-way into middle school. And it’s true we don’t age mentally about mid-way through middle school and it boils down to one reason. Boobs. A, B, C, D, girls get thing during middle school. So it clicks finally, that all those really hot actresses that we saw in movies, they were as flat chested as those girls who we knew in elementary school. That means that they were going to get breast. As middle schoolers we pictured that every girl got large ones after a while, kleenex was just a helping agent, so in time, we to would get to see these things that have started to pop into our fantasies.
Under the same delusion, we were all the coolest person to walk the face of the earth. Even with our collection of Star Trek comics in folder that we could read at a moment’s notice. We were cool and there was a good chance that we were going to see boob now.
My belief that men really are stupid (it varies from moment to moment, but we are stupid) stems from this idea that we peak mentally when we reach 13 or so. Oh sure, we get cars, mortgages, children, bills and jobs, but once you peel all that away, we’re still horny little middle schoolers who get excited about seeing cleavage and side-boob. Almost as much as seeing the real thing.
Of course this makes women crazy (it also varies from moment to moment), because they hope that beneath all of complexities we give ourselves, that there is something besides the giggling, horny middle-schooler who’s trying not to be obvious about looking down a shirt of some random girl as they pick something up. We aren’t so it makes them crazy because we’re so damn stupid.

Another panel is underway, but this is all I’m going to show, because it’s late here in Tucson and I want some sleep before the kittens wake me up at 6 am. Which I might actually get up and start to draw some more. I’ve missed this sensation of creation.

It’s about damn time that I started on a comic. Here’s the first panel.

A friend of mine told me I should make a Tumblr site for the stormtrooper pictures. I didn’t want a Tumblr site I made my own site.

Soon I’ll have a new 404 page up. I found an image of Yonro the College dropout on Youtube when I tried to play an episode of Shin Chan on the work iPad. As you can see it might be the most perfect image of being rejected while searching for something. Yonro the college dropout is good for something after all.
