This is a bit of an inconsistent, late post, *but* I thought that I would put it into the pile, because the idea (that occurred to me in the summer when I was busy beyond compare surrounded by children and fellow counselor alike in an artistic community that demands so much of my time inasmuch that I couldn’t spare the time to work on anything intensely personal my god I’m sorry) was just too good to pass up. I’m back, and here’s a post!
With regard for with the theme picked in June - which had been beautifully open ended with the point of having two unlikely foes to go at it - I bring you…
The Avengers vs. SKYNET
In a future ravaged by the atomic fire and frightening intelligence of mankind’s greatest invented defenses gone terribly wrong, where would the Earth’s Mightiest end up? To my thinking, they would, as well as the rest of the human race, end up fighting neverending battles in totally unexplained piles of cleaned human skulls, demolishing each and every one under foot en route to a shaky future involving cockroaches, clouds of fallout terribly far from their half lives, and miserable scarcity…that is, if the HKs don’t get them before that time.
Thanks for looking!

It’s always an interesting game, trying to figure out which of your peers like which Clowes work best. Most say Ghost World. Some find a home in other work. Personally, I loveCaricature. Wilson is also great. It’s all great. He just has so much to choose from! Anyway, I thought that I would take this month’s topic as an opportunity to experiment with a new form of cut paper. Hope you enjoy it!

Booker & Elizabeth
Definitely pleased to put this one forward for this month’s mixed bag, especially with the timing of the upcoming DLC, Burial at Sea, and especially considering the IG relevance of this group. I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but remember it being a lot of fun to work through. Great game, great visuals, and it seems like just yesterday I was 187-ing scummy hostiles off the sky-lines of Columbia… *sniff*
…oh, wait…that was yesterday.

The Blob
I found the 1988 iteration of this classic monster story particularly horrifying as a kid. Back in the days before IMDB, it wasn’t a rare thing for kids to happen upon classics like this on VHS and gleefully dive into the unexpected and wildly age-inappropriate bloodbaths within. So good.
And it really didn’t get much scarier than a thing made from god-knows-what roaming around a small town because of ?? doing ?!!! to unsuspecting victims. For a kid knowing next-to-nothing about the world anyway, a story that deprives you of much needed information that could later save your life from the exact thing being explained is incredibly scarring, especially when that thing can know where you are in your house and pull you into its digestive mass through a slop sink drain pipe.
*shudder*
I love Halloween…
