Hooray, another (horrible) comic I drew on my Nintendo DSi in Flipnote Studio.  This was inspired by a phrase created with a Magnetic Poetry set I received for Christmas, which was “I am a nefarious spaceman with Kafkaesque cunning.” ( I also used it to make this bit of epic fridge poetry last night) Sadly, I cannot take credit for the creation of the phrase,  but I did draw the silly comic below.

The last two panels were more-or-less the same conversation I had with the phrase in question’s creator. I finally made use of Flipnote’s “onion skin” feature and when drawing the last two panels–namely when drawing the lady, and it shows (I’m not great at drawing the same thing twice on my own, case in point–look at how my characters change in each panel).

And whenever I think of Kafka, I think of this great episode (and song) from the cartoon, Home Movies.

I was thinking aloud on Twitter yesterday about a spoof of Dune called Drift, which would take place on a snow/ice planet instead of a desert planet (the name coming from snowdrift).  Well, inspiration struck and I drew the (terrible) comic below on my Nintendo DS.  Like before, this was pieced together in Photoshop.  For the record, I am a fan of the novels, films, etc.

Read at own risk, this could get stupid.

This was fun, I enjoyed coming up with a way to spoof some of Dune’s characters and such. And yes, I know it isn’t Paul who eventually becomes God Emperor. Hooray for stupid comics.  When doing these, I try not to edit (too much) and to just go with my first idea. If anything, these are a good ‘think on my feet’ exercise. Man, I can’t even begin to tell you how many I hours of my youth I wasted spent playing Dune II on our old PC.

As promised, I drew a (terrible) comic on my Nintendo DS (in Flipnote Studio) featuring the Hams Without a Cause. Sigh.

Oh man, this was pretty bad.  But, I was inspired. Had to run with it. I pieced everything together in Photoshop (and added the date/URL).

I also added the dino saying “burp” because I realized after the fact that it may not be apparent that he ATE them–did not want a reader to think something else had transpired.

This was fun. I’ll try and do more. You can probably guess I drew this in like ten minutes, it certainly shows. I enjoy doing stupid comics like this, it is fun to draw something silly once in a while.
