The only Pied Piper Flash comic I ever read was the one where as a reformed villain and friend of Wally West (the one true Flash), he came out of the closet. Nowadays, that’d be a six-part epic crossover instead of one page of an otherwise unmemorable comic (literally, it is the only thing I remember about that comic). Anyways, I’ve been on a boycott of DC Comics and Time-Warner since then, as I was very offended by the shoving of their turgid liberal agenda down the hot, wet throats of America’s supple youth.

Part of the reason for the sketch-a-day blog is to help me focus on making more art – and if possible, figuring out a way to start making money off of that (as always, commissions are always available). Part of that is because I know that if I’m not working on something, I’m constantly watching movies, television progrims or just playing video games. Unfortunately, I don’t have the switch in my brain to tell me when too much is too much. I’m lazy by nature, and I can pretty much kill an entire day playing video games. I work a full-time job with a hefty commute, so when I get home, the first instinct is to just veg-out and unwind and shut my mind down (more than usual). Since re-starting the sketch-a-day, video games just stopped being part of my life. I still play occasionally, but it’s a danger zone. So, this past Friday when I purchased a deeply discounted copy of Batman: Arkham Origins from Amazon, I started making jokes about how the sketch-a-day would end. It won’t. Although, I received the game yesterday (Amazon and their shipping methods are fantastic) and pretty much blew three hours playing it without even realizing it. So, y’know, it’ll be a struggle. But I think I can make this work.

Because it’s been a while, and I know everyone is dying to know about my viewing habits, I’ll go ahead and lay some nerdy shit down here.
I have been binge-watching Chuck. I apparently missed a huge portion of this show as it aired on tv. I really only remembered most of season two and a chunk of season three. But, it’s goofy and fun and by the end, I really loved it and the characters.
I have watched two Nicholas Winding Refn movies recently, both of which I disliked. Only God Forgives and Valhalla Rising are both gorgeous, self-important, pompous, pretentious turds – shiny though they are. At gunpoint, I would suggest Valhalla over Forgives but overall, just avoid both.
Zoolander was a movie I avoided for a long time because it just seemed atrociously unfunny. It’s streaming now and I was looking for something I could ignore. Even under that condition, the movie is so incredibly unfunny it’s not even funny.
About a week ago, I rewatched Lords of Salem and The World’s End. I still absolutely loved The World’s End as much as I did the first time, if not a little more. I still didn’t care for Lords of Salem, but liked it a bit more than the previous viewing.
And finally, Captain America II: Death Too Soon. It’s a terrible TV movie from 1979, the sequel to the terrible TV movie from 1979. But while terrible, it’s 1000 times better than the first movie, with a more fun tone, lots of Cap action in costume and big comic book plot and villain.

A commission done that unfortunately took a very long time for me to finish. As always though, I am accepting commissions. It just may take some patience on your part.

The original Ms. Marvel says “Happy Thankgsiving”. Or whatever.
