1099. Syphilitic Batman
My favorite podcast is The Dollop. It’s a biweekly podcast where once a week comedian Dave Anthony reads a story from American History to his friend Gary who doesn’t know what the topic is about. On occasion, they travel to Australia and tell a story from Australian History. The most recent episode was about Batman. Sorta.
Apparently the man who basically settled the city of Melbourne at the expense of the lives of numerous Aboriginals was named John Batman. He had syphilis. He is referred to as Syphilitic Batman throughout the podcast. It had to be drawn.
Unfortunately it also had to be referenced.
Some things you can’t unsee.
1098. Batman
Happy Groundhog Day.
1097. Batman
I need to have a 6-page comic & cover done by mid-April. Drawing has been a rough endeavor lately, so I need to focus. But I’m not giving up the Sketch-a-Day. So, I’m doing a theme month, which will allow me some breathing room.
So, I present: BATRUARY!
All month long, February 2018 will be all Batman. No sidekicks, no villains, no supporting players. Just Batman. 28 days of Batman. It’s so dumb & easy, it has to be done.
Today also marks the 7th anniversary of when I started the initial Sketch-a-Day. I have probably drawn Batman more than any other character during those 7 years, so let’s keep cranking him out.
It might get weird.
1096. The Monster from Hell
Oddly, the Hammer horror films are a blind spot in my fandom, but I have seen this movie, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. It’s pretty great.
Brassfield Week, Final Day: David Prowse’s best role.
Thanks for supporting Matt Brassfield’s week! Tomorrow begins an entire theme month. Stay tuned!
1095. Ultimate Warrior
Brassfield Week, Day 7: a rassler and probably insane person.
1094. Night Man
Brassfield Week, Day 6: the 2nd sexiest jazz saxophone playing superhero.
1093. Red Tornado
I initially had to ask what Matt meant when he requested this one. I was just about to draw a terrible rolled snack you get at convenient stores. But he clarified.
I seriously love Red Tornado. He is criminally underused or poorly used.
Brassfield Week, Day 5: a robot superhero I love!
