MYTHFITS become reality

I want to apologize for not posting a new comic and poll this week. The weekend brought with it a nasty Summer flu. I was hacking up stuff that looked like Poo, except it was green (TMI?) and I even had a fever. I'm finally feeling 100% better and back to my usual, blogging self.

And boy, do I have a special surprise to show you! Tara Martin, of Loffie's Randoms, has created AMAZING three dimensional models of Unicorn & Robot from Mythfits! Check them out! I'm blown away by her talent and craftsmanship in sculpting these two guys. Check out all the angles of Robot here, all the angles of Unicorn here, and her process here.

I am honored by this, Tara, and I really hope we can get vinyl toys made from your designs. I'd love to see the Mythfits characters as a series of collectible figures!

I'd love to know what you think of these... [ ^_^ ]

Beauty Through Boredom

Bizarro is brought to you today by Dubious Travel.

Day two of my Journey into the Bizarro Archives.

The first cartoon shown here is from a few days ago and I like it. So did a woman who wrote to me to say her husband is very funny and she looks like hell as a result. Sorry to hear that and congratulations. I once read that most women rank humor and intelligence above looks and money when it comes to choosing a mate. This is the one and only reason I have been successful with attractive women, for I am no George Clooney in either looks or money.

The next cartoon is from the late 1900s. This was drawn at a time when I was on my "Mooch Book Tour," one that was funded entirely by my readers. I visited around 15 cities on donated plane tickets, stayed with Bizarro readers who had volunteered to drive me around, feed me and let me stay at their house. Some had nice guest rooms, others put me on the couch on in their child's room. (sans toddler) At one house, I slept in a pink bedroom with Little Mermaid sheets. I wrote a book about it, which is long out of print but I still have a box or two of them. If you want one, I'll sell them for $15 each, signed. Just a little way to clear my closet space and make some cigar money.

You may notice the hirsute man at the back of the line. That is a self-portrait from the period. To add to the impact, I've posted here a publicity photo from '95 as well. I painted the big pink sign and cut a hole in it for my head. I thought is was funny.

That concludes today's trip down memory lane. I hope nobody got car sick.
