I just had a thought: that these things probably had elaborate dope sheets worked out beforehand, right?
As opposed to some kid with a Super-8 camera ad-libbing the motions as he went along?

Trying to catch up on the sketchbook and other art. Here are a couple of new-ish characters, Dissy Timing and Gears. One's bonkers and the other's a talking pig of the species Soowee Generis....

The only thing I can think of regionally isn't even a monster. It's Ball Cemetery down by Springfield, Nebraska that's supposedly "unofficially one of the ten most haunted cemeteries in the US!" Supposedly, it has a ghost of a big fierce looking 19th Century guy who will throw large rocks at anybody who even thinks of…

Somebody should dig up Harry Grant Dart's flying machines from a century or so ago.

I'm thinking about rural small towns and how they were hit by the Farm Crisis in the '80s and never fully recovered.

OTOH, I wonder how much of the old school "You know this will go on your permanent record!" threats actually stuck?

Soldier, Iowa had crank phones with party lines up until the Apollo moon landings. The contrast was a point of contension. So was all the other local communities having dial phones. The phone company finally leap-frogged over to push-buttons in the early '70s.

Going from nerd being the uncoolest thing you could be back when the Fonz was in first run to nerds being the hipsters of pop culture.

A lot of nerd culture culture osmosing into pop culture. How many normal people in 1976 knew about Tolkien and Lovecraft? Tolkien was a nerd thing and Lovecraft was insider fandom. Now…

And UFOs! With magazines about them.

I'm a little sore at my teenie self for too sincerely believing in them.

Well, coming of the the Ancient Astronaut fads of the '70s....

"We got it made!"

Is that a giant anemone or what?

Mud mushrooms. Followed by Mockaroni to go the other way....

Heck, I want my catgirls! :3

Doug Holverson is my legal name. Although it says Mel Allen Sink on my original birth certificate. I'm currently working as an Electronic Technician Level 11 for the USPS. Over the years, I created Flexia Bast, Captain Saucer (a few times over), InterStellar OverDrive, Fanboy (the one that was a funny appliance), Sci…

Hello Kitty spoof?

Reminds me of the translucent panels of that Martian space platform in that old Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Heroes World. I had a promising revival of InterStellar OverDrive killed before it could even go to the printers because of that attempted market manipulation and the crash it caused. >:(

Nifty 19th Century building.

I'm toying with it, if I ever revive my webcomic Sci Fi Guy! (which runs on a predestination paradox).
