Covid-19 Vaccine – Round One: Will I Get The Superpowers?

Today, I received my first round of Covid shots and I've been thinking about all the symptoms people have reported afterwards. But what I'm mostly thinking about are all the jokes about "receiving super powers" from the vaccine. So, on that note, here's my joke after receiving the first round...

Remember in the very first Spider-Man movie and how Peter Parker was totally wiped out after that spider bite? That’s how I feel right now... I’m totally gonna be able to climb the sides of buildings tomorrow!

Last week, me, Shawn, Beth, and our host Dirk discussed the season finale of Marvel Studios' WandaVision and what it may hold for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Plus, the announcement that The CW is developing a live-action Powerpuff Girls television series and our "fan casting" of the iconic PPG villains. For our final segment, we spotlight one of my favorite comic book artist, Jill Thompson.

Throwback Thursday!

I'm throwing it back to 2005.

I was commissioned to paint a portrait of a friends dog named Dakota. This was the first time that I had ever attempted to paint an animal of any sort in watercolor. The client was so satisfied with the painting that they commissioned a second painting, one with Dakota and their own dog, Azle, together.

 Prints of Dakota are available for purchase from my Deviant Art gallery.

It's Been Far Too Long!

I'm sitting here looking at my watch and calendar and realizing that it has been over 6 years since I last placed a post here on this blog. Quite a bit as changed since then. I'd go down the list of events but I'd suggest watching Yakko, of Animaniacs, go through that recap (see the all-new episodes streaming exclusively on Hulu... This is a non-paid plug).

One of the new life changes came about as a result of this pandemic. I reconnected with a group of guys that I had collaborated with to produce a comic book way back in the early mid-90s of the 20th century. Many of us, at the time, were sidelined from our jobs due to "shelter in place" orders or furloughed due to all out lack of business. It's at this point when Dirk Hooper decided to put together a live-stream show with a group of "old guys" to spend time talking about "geeky stuff that we like" and let the public join in on the discussions.

Taskforce: Geek was born and has turned out to be a small hit and growing!

I'd like to go into all sorts of details about the show but I'd rather take this last bit to just give the guys and gal of the group my deepest appreciation for allowing me to be a part of the discussion panel! I always look forward to chatting y'all on Tuesday nights!
