10,000 B.H.

The new movie 10,000 B.C. got me thinking about the movie One Million Years B.C. which in turn got me thinking about Raquel Welch in a fur bikini.

Logically my next thought would be of cavewoman Marge in a fur bikini. I call it "10,000 Years Before Homer".

New movies seem to be sparking my imagination so you can look forward to, or dread, a few more posts like this over the next week or so.

ABA Patrick

Seeing the trailer for the new Will Ferrell movie "Semi-Pro" got me thinking about the old Amercian Basketball Association. All I remember about the league came from the backs of old comic books: guys with big afros making a sales pitch for the red, white, and blue ball.

This of course started me thinking about what cartoon character would look funny with an afro. Thus Patrick Starfish with a big 'fro.
(what can I say, my brain works in strange ways)

Sherpa Mario

Thinking of Yeti Kong's nemesis from an earlier post inspired me. So here is my drawing of Sherpa Mario.

Even now the Super Mario theme is playing in my head.

Kewpie

Here is the drawing I was originally going to post on Valentine's Day. I was wondering what Cupid does when his arrows don't seem to be having the appropriate effect. My answer, he calls in his pet elephant Kewpie to trample the lovers into submission.

What could be more romantic on Valentine's Day than being trampled by a pink elephant?

NIU Shooting

It's not much, and I didn't draw it, but I felt the need to post something as both my wife and I graduated from Northern Illinois University. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families in the aftermath of this senseless tragedy.

Yeti Kong

The snow and cold in Chicago inspired me to try a new spin on an old arcade favorite. I call him Yeti Kong. His adversary would have to be Sherpa Mario.

P.S. Please note that I did indeed post before Valentine's Day (even if it's only 4 days before)

Happy New Year!

It's been almost two months since my last post. So much for using my vacation time over the holidays to draw.

Oh well....Happy New Year to all and here's hoping your 2008 is better than your 2007.

(And here's hoping I post again before Valentine's Day.)
