As I was driving into work today I saw Hitler in the distance. I pondered in my mind why anyone would put Hitler on their bus, but as I got closer, I saw that due to an unfortunate placement of a rear view camera, a harmless cartoon bus driver was transformed into the visage of history's greatest villain.
Makes you wonder: In what part of this process was this discovered? Was it ever discovered? If they discovered it, upon someone pointing it out, who uttered the words: "We are too deep in this financially, just let it go. Hopefully no one will notice." I mean, I've participated in projects like this before. It's an involved process, with reference photos and vector mechanicals of the bus to line up the graphics with the windows and contours of the vehicle. Who was the idiot that sent this off to print without seeing that frikkin' HITLER was on the back of the bus? No doubt it was some dipshit art director with a group of underlings that, knowing his untalented ass would get fired, set him up. Well, one could hope that was the scenario.

This coming weekend, September the 10th, we at Killer Minnow will be embarking on a journey to the wild west to help shoot a movie. It's a sci-fi film that was written by, and will be directed by, our good friend Ben Insler. We are shooting it in the Nevada desert. Yes, I know, it'll be hot as balls, but as least I'm not gonna be one of the poor saps in full astronaut gear.
Well, I was asked by the good Mr. Insler if I could whip up a couple of side arm props for the space travelers. With limited time and tools at my disposal, I opted to use a couple of Super Soaker pump guns, of which I sawed off the pump part, replaced it with an electrical connector and added some nails and inverted knobs from my old broken PS2 controller for the round bit in the rear of the gun. I had started on a much more custom, built from scratch version, but it was labor intensive and after I got far enough to hold it as a gun I realized it looked stupid. So I went with plan B. Plan B being the two Super Soaker guns we had at the pool for me and my daughter to shoot, she hasn't missed them yet.
Anyway, here are the pics!

I awoke to the acrid stench of an electical burning smell throughout the house. After searching the house for the source and discovering it was my Mac, I almost wished it was the house on fire. Ah, the futivity of it all, as I haphazardly poke and jab my way to the realization that I haven't the skills nor the knowledge to have any business whatsoever taking my fried mac apart.
I at least hoped that the areas I could reach would yield some visual confirmation as to where the thing got itself "cooked" but nothing presented itself. This thing is completely dead, I get nothing when I push the power button.

I created this character in 1990, drew him for like, 10 years straight then put him on the back burner. I haven't drawn a picture of him in probably four years. He's my first beloved creation. His name is Stanley the Mole. Yes, yes, I know, he looks nothing like a mole, but to suggest anything else to HIM would be ill-advised. You see, Stanley was abandoned by his real parents at birth and was taken in by a family of moles, therefore he considers himself 100% mole.
The comic is a comedy/fantasy adventure.
I might finish this up and color it. Thanks for looking!
