Meet the Punks ('88)

Apr 12, 2006 21:36

I've wanted to make this post for years. In my living room is a stack of stapled-together school notebook paper from the mid-to-late 80's, and on at least half of these pages, I drew pictures of blood geysers erupting from cartoon characters' eye sockets when I should have been learning my multiplication tables. (I'm still a little shaky on the 6's ( Read more... )

living in the past, the weirdo club, shit i drew

そう。The smallsimple black handbag will be over 140,000yen including tax.
しかも、高級感はあるけど、ちょっと地味かも。

Wow! They must have really liked the comics, now they want to give you an expensive handbag for FREE!

Rump is my favorite. He makes me want to do lunges so that I too have an ass strong enough to bite off someone's nose.

Rump was pretty badass, maybe because he was the only one of the WACKO punks with a distinct personality. In one of the comics I didn't scan, he beats someone to death with his tongue. Here's my Rump '06:

You asshole.

muffin_mcghee April 13 2006, 15:33:36 UTC

did you notice that RUMP looks like barf(?) from the diner on You Can't Do That On Television?

mister_punchy April 13 2006, 21:48:21 UTC

Hey, here he is right now, in icon form...

I dunno if I was consciously influenced by Barth when I created Rump (he seems like the eldest of the Punks, with his neck-wrinkles and jaded attitude-- he probably drinks at the Vern). But You Can't Do That On Television was undeniably one of my top influences from '85-'89, along with Mad Magazine, Garbage Pail Kids, and Weird Al.

last year, i bought a MAD magazine after all these years, cuz i remember how funny i thought it was as a kid. i was let down after i realized that some of the pages contained the EXACT SAME JOKES, some w/ even the same illustrations. poopie.

That snout-faced Lisa Ruddy got what she deserved.

"the sassy one"

mister_punchy April 13 2006, 21:45:42 UTC

Max was a pretty sassy guy.

He was also, as I am wont to call him, Dee Snider-esque.

I like the calm, beatific grin on the face of the poo falling out of Rump's rump.

Also, IT-nite-wise, The Couple Friends and Shayla have all decided that there is No Time To Do this. I still wanna, though. We could be a dynamic duo. Bonus: I could borrow a camera, and have absolutely no idea how to do editing!

Holy Shit! mister_punchy April 13 2006, 21:42:04 UTC

I thought those were just turd-lumps, but you may be right. You've found the serene face of Jesus in Rump's stool ( ... )

Re: Holy Shit! iconoclastastic April 13 2006, 23:57:47 UTC

Word! I was seeing the Newcombe-superhero as more of an arrogant vodka guzzler/Kryptonite-freebaser named "The Independant", who, in a buncha interview segments, mostly just talks a buncha shit on the major-label superheroes, in between temper tantrums and ego-freakouts, in order to keep the people-involved count down, but, hey, the more the merrier!

Let's still get together tomorrow and talk about it?

Re: Holy Shit! mister_punchy April 14 2006, 01:07:10 UTC

We can do both, for sure... that's pretty much how I saw his scenes, just with other superheroes in-between. The scale might be cut back once reality sinks in, but I'm feeling pretty ambitious about it. Anyway, yeah, I can meet tomorrow. MFP again?

I'd like to think so... I think "Dung Twister" alone put it over the top...

libertina April 14 2006, 05:06:20 UTC

I agree. Goddamn. You had a cinematic eye very early on. Funny as hell.
Now I REALLY wish I had a scanner. Your gang of poetic license-connected punks and my ninth grade creation "Greasy Kids Stuff", the anarchic lads who played out of the back of a garbage truck, could have a Nerd Imagination battle of the bands. But I don't think I gave any of them an eyepatch, so that alone might put you over the top.

mister_punchy April 14 2006, 17:00:51 UTC

I think I told you before that Funk, Gunk, Chunk, etc, lived in underground tunnels whose entryways were in garbage cans. That was more Eric's baby than mine; he drew double-page spreads laying out their entire maze, complete with their TV room, Nintendo system, and multiple toilets. Through that garbage connection, they and Greasy Kids Stuff were probably aware of each other, if not friends/bitter rivals who abhorred each other's frenetic guitar licks.

I think I'm gonna post a Part II of Punk stories. There's too many layers to be adequately unpeeled just in this one.
