So for the past 6-7 years, roughly every Saturday night, my friend Jason and I get together for “Drawing Night”. It’s pretty much in the top 5 things I look forward to every week. The tradition started over at the house he used to live at where all sorts of visitors would drop by and …

212. Frankenstein
I watched The Omen – the original version. It was meh. Just too slow and not enough interesting anything to keep me engrossed. So this doodle. When I was a kid – long before I was into comic books, I was into Cracked Magazine. I used to have quite a collection. Wish I still did. …

Last night I watched Not Fade Away, the debut film by David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos – a television show I’ve never watched and therefore I have no nostalgia for it. The movie didn’t make me want to correct that at all. It was fine, though. A quiet, character drama that I suspect …

So this is not exact, but it is inspired by a movie I traveled to ye olde theatre to see – You’re Next. It’s a slashery/home invasion horror movie and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Most of it, anyway. It’s got a pretty decent set of well-rounded characters, some humor and a healthy …

This was an experiment. I had read something about how Stuart Immonen (my favorite mainstream comic artist) used a black coloring pencil to draw “Superman: Secret Identity”. I wanted to try it out for myself, see what would happen. I saw Pacific Rim again last night. Still incredibly good, think I liked it better, actually. …

I watched Birdemic: Shock and Terror last night. On purpose. I had seen it in a theater last year as part of a RiffTrax live event. It was pretty great. This time, however, no RiffTraxing was involved. Just plain ol’ Netflix. By itself, it is still incredibly hilarious. It is the worst. Right now, I’m …

I went to see Pacific Rim. It’s fantastic. It’s giant monsters fighting giant robots, but it also has heart to spare with likeable, sympathetic characters, humor and charm. The action is believable, easy on the eyes and still frenetic. Despite copious amounts of destruction, consequences still feel real. Godzilla and Cloverfield can go fuck off. …

So Netflix – which has a history recommending bizarre bullshit with their system – has added a new “feature” called Max. It’s an interactive version of their recommendation system, and as far as I can tell it ups the level of their bullshit to a whole new degree. I decided to try it out. It’s …

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why I would ever think of the band Cracker, ever. So. I love big dumb action movies. The dumber and more ‘splodey they are, the better I like ’em. But apparently, there is a limit to how dumb a big dumb action movie can get before …
88. Spider-Woman
So, there’s an idiot what lives in my pants. About 20 some days ago, I misread what number the previous post was and jumped ahead. I just noticed this mistake yesterday. It’s resolved now. So instead of Sketch-A-Day 2.0 #90, today is #88. Thank you for bearing with me during this troubling time. I’ve always …
