Submitted for Your Approval...
I'll be the busiest little bee of them all for the better part of this weekend, since I'll be manning a table at Wizard Con Chicago in Artist's Alley. But don't worry, I've found a few babysitters to keep you folks lucid until I can once again grace you with my company. Blargh.
This appears to be a site dedicated to documenting plagiarism in advertising art and photography. I can't really be sure, it's in French. But there are plenty of pictures, and plenty of suspiscious coincidences, more pathetic than infuriating. How appallingly unimaginative do you hafta be to steal the punchline from a Hustler gag comic for your diet drink campaign?
The Order of the Stick, a webcomic by Rich Burlew, is only funny if you're freakish nerdling-spoor. Like myself. Toot toot. Self-aware, old school roleplaying humor, best taken while fondling a 20-sided die and eyeing a Monster Manual.
Mom's Cancer is another webcomic. But it's a true-life diary comic, written and drawn by the son of a woman with Stage 4 lung cancer that's metastasized in her brain. Not quite so depressing at it sounds, but then, he hasn't written the ending yet, has he?
The unspeakably awful trailer for Alone in the Dark, Uwe Boll's latest video-game-to-movie disasterpiece. Make sure to take note of the pinched end of the discharged shell whirling through the air in that close-up shot. The crumpled end means it was a blank, kids. And that little oopsie is the least if this thing's problems. OH GOOD ANOTHER BLACK UNFOLDING TONGUE ALIEN CRITTER THING. NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
Gimps Gone Wild. Because someone, somwhere, is totally into this. And you damn well know it. What's your pleasure, sir? Amputees? Cerebral Palsy? Osteogenesis Imperfecta? (Warning: Loud, obnoxious music on the opening page.)
And that oughta do it. See you guys Monday.
