  • Botober Day 9: small sweet pipes

    Line Drawing. Text at the top reads "WILLY WONKA REVIEWS THE BLUEPRINTS FOR HIS NEW FACTORY" Wonka is at a table holding up a large paper, and is saying "Oh, this will never do! I couldn't fit a fat kid through that pipe." The bottom of the picture is labeled "BOTOBER 25 9: SMALL SWEET PIPES"

    This was an “oh yeah, I need to draw something before I go to bed” thing. That’s why Wonka’s office is empty and he looks like he borrowed a suit from David Byrne.

  • Botober Day 8: ground mayonnaise

    A lame line drawing of a messy kitchen. Text reads "Welcome to another edition of AMERICA'S MESSIEST KITCHEN!" A blob on the floor is labelled "GROUND MAYONNAISE." A blob on the ceiling is labeled "ceiling sauce." A bag against the wall is labeled "wall flour." The bag is saying "it has its perks." labels at the bottom read "BOTOBER 25 8: GROUND MAYONNAISE"

    I blame the bad drawing and weak pun on post COVID/flu vaccination symptoms. I’m glad that excuse came up when I needed it!

  • Botober Day 7: Behold onion.

    Line drawing of an onion with a large central eye and an open mouth full of spiky teeth. Six stalks with eyes looking in different directions are growing from the top of the onion. Text around the onion reads "I SEEK REVENGE ON OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE! BRING ME... A BLOOMIN' HUMAN!" Text at the bottom reads "BOTOBER 25 7: BEHOLD ONION."

    This one’s for the D&D nerds.

  • Botober Day 6: sozerfrapple

    Line drawing of five apples in a police lineup. Text above them reads: "All right, which one is Keyser Sozerfrapple?" Text below reads: BOTOBER 25 THE BAD APPLES 6: Sozerfrapple

    I never said these drawings would be good, or make sense.

    I did a better riff on this for a different project.

  • Movie Pass Adventures: The Smashing Machine

    The eyes of Dwayne Johnson as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.

    I think there’s an episode of Leave it to Beaver where someone tells The Beav that he can fake crying by putting his hands on this face and laughing. That what I thought of when The Rock breaks down in this movie. And I kept waiting for Emily Blunt to threaten to take the kids to her sister’s.

    Honestly, this movie is fine, but there are at least two wrestlers-turned-actors currently working with stronger acting skills than Dwayne Johnson.

    Do you think you can figure out the original version of this fake poster without peeking at the alt text? I THINK KNOTT!

  • Botober Day 5: Heated Baking Rings

    A line drawing. A baking ring yells at a glass of cold water while another ring looks on. The first ring and the water have the following dialogue: RING: You think you can marry our daughter, you frigid cup of crap? WATER: Sir, we are in love. RING: Get the hell out of our oven! The drawing is labeled "BOTOBER 25 5: HEATED BAKING RINGS"

    It’s a sequel to yesterday’s drawing:

    A line drawing of a cartoon version of sad glass of cold water holding an open ring box in one hand. The glass is saying "...she said no." the bottom of the picture is labelled "BOTOBER 25" and "4: CRUSHED COLD WATER."

    Was she forced to say no by her family? Will she change her mind? WHAT AN EXCITING TURN OF EVENTS!

    I look forward to developing the CCWU (Crushed Cold Water Universe) into viable IP and developing marketable content across multiple media streams.

  • Retro Movie Adventures: The Third Man

    Joseph Cotten in The Third Man.

    After three movies that went from so bad it’s good to competent but built on racism to just plain bad, it was great to see a movie this good. I do wish the score wasn’t “all zither all the time,” though.

    Oh, boy! A fake poster!

  • Botober 2025!

    The Botober 2025 prompts from the AI Weirdness website.

    AI Weirdness is running its annual Botober drawing prompts again, and I’ve been playing along. Here are my incredible first four drawings.

    A line drawing of a man with a colander on his head wearing a shirt with the logo from the cover of DEVO's smoothnoodlemaps album. liquid is coming out of the colander. He is saying "I replaced my energy dome with a colander and I've never felt jucier!" the bottom of the picture is labelled "BOTOBER 25" and "1: NOODLE JUICE."
    A line drawing of a man with a bowler hat and a large bushy mustache. He is saying "I have discovered many unique and fascinating objects within the sanctuary of my facial fancery. I invite you to explore it." the bottom of the picture is labelled "BOTOBER 25" and "2: PINETANABOUS MOLD."
    A line drawing of a man with outstretched hands looking up into a tree with a crock pot on a branch. The man is saying "DON'T WORRY, TITTLE GUY. I'LL CATCH YOU!" The bottom of the picture is labelled "BOTOBER 25" and "3: CROCK UP."
    A line drawing of a cartoon version of sad glass of cold water holding an open ring box in one hand. The glass is saying "...she said no." the bottom of the picture is labelled "BOTOBER 25" and "4: CRUSHED COLD WATER."

    Has there ever been a greater artist? I SAY UNTO THEE NAY!

  • Walk of Fame Adventures: Ten Laps to Go and Tom Moore

    This movie is terrible, and not in a fun way. Barely an hour long, but it feels like four. It’s biggest claim to fame is that it’s the last film of Marie Provost, who I only knew as the subject of a not quite accurate Nick Lowe song.

    Composite picture. On the left, a mockup of Tom Moore's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On the Right, a black and white portrait photo of Tom Moore.

    Tom Moore (star at 1640 Vine Street) plays Mr. Corbett, father of the leading man’s romantic interest and inventor of something that has to do with car engines, but because the script is incredibly lazy it never gets a name. Come on, just call it the “Ultra Efficient Spark Inducer” or “Frictionless Piston” or something. No one watching cares if it makes sense, they just want to know what to call it.

    I picked the source for today’s poster because it was pretty.

  • Walk of Fame Movie Adventures: Judge Priest and Tom Brown

    Stepin Fetchit and Will Rogers in Judge Priest.
    David Landau and Tom Brown in Judge Priest.

    It’s really hard to enjoy a lighthearted comedy based entirely on the idea that the Confederacy was actually a great thing, and everybody got along.

    Also: I know there’s been some modern takes on Stepin Fetchit that claim his character is more of a joker than a racist caricature, but it sure doesn’t play positively in this movie.

    Composite picture. On the left, a mockup of Tom Brown's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On the Right, a black and white portrait photo of Tom Brown.

    Tom Brown (star at 1648 Vine) started as a child model/actor, then worked his way up to bigger roles. Here he plays Jerome “Rome” Priest, Judge Priest’s nephew fresh out of law school who only wins his case because of his uncle’s meddling.

    Today’s poster is completely unrelated to this movie, but I thought it looked cool so I used it. If that bugs you, send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I’ll return what you paid me for this post.
