Good morning Post It fans…we’re here once again for another edition of my Post It Post!
So before we move on, go grab yourself a cup of coffee, a small glass of pulp free OJ, or…a nice tasty life injecting Diet Coke, whatever your breakfast elixir of choice, pick your poison…I’ll wait!
Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm!
Okay good, you’re back…nice choice. So sit back, put your feet up, take a hearty gulp of your wake up juice, and prepare yourself for today’s Post It Post.
In the first Post It note, “Bug Attack Troy”, I drew Troy being attacked by a radioactive mutated swarm of killer dragonflies. I think that I was particularly swamped at work that day, so what better way to show that then to illustrate your brain being drained by a grotesque flying insectoid. Plus I love monster movies, big fan, especially older ones. There’s something about the monsters being made out of rubber and latex instead of CGI digital bits and bytes. Not that I don’t like CGI, but only if it’s done right. However it’s more fun when you know that someone had to actually make that rubber monstrosity and that it possibly now sits somewhere in a warehouse collecting dust rather than on someone’s hard drive as 0’s and 1’s.
In “iPod Troy,” Troy’s simply just jammin’ to his tunes…most likely a “Duran Duran” track. And for all those people out there saying, “Duran Duran”? Don’t dis the Double D’s. They’re the band so nice they named it twice…seriously. By the way, I love my iPod…besides things like the Color TV, Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper, DVD Special Features, and Post It notes…it’s probably the single most important invention in recorded human history. Seriously, it’s that important. As for the drawing on this one, the nose on Troy is a bit too pointy, especially when compared to the drawing of Troy right next to it.
So I leave you with this, I guess all yellow Post It’s are not created equal. I’ve posted several notes to date and it seems like every yellow is a tad shade off…I don’t know what to make of this…is it some sort of conspiracy by the Crayola corporation to overtake the world one color at a time, or simply the fact that it’s possible that not all of these Post It’s are actual Post It’s but rather some generic cheaper offshoot brand? Nah, that can’t be it…my votes with the conspiracy…damn you Mr. Crayon Man…damn you!
So, here is a suggestion. Maybe, just maybe, because you drew your “Post It’s” at different times, maybe the color fadded? Or maybe, I’ve used too many maybes.
Phenominal work. You should try doing a daily strip. Going by what I’ve seen in your gallery, it could go in so many different directions. Perhaps you should do 2 strips, one mainstream, and one off the beaten path. I would like to see one where someone has a TV or TV station eat away at his/her brain. To me, that’s far worse than any insect.
