Anapaest



You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...

from 'The Places You'll Go'

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss!

Capon




I have a soft spot for chickens. Ditto cartoons. I also have a weird fixation on stationery (mmmm pens). So when i found Doug Savage's work, i was a happy bunny. His single panel comics are drawn on a post it with Staedtler pigment liners and then scanned. They feature a mixture of characters such as chickens, PROD300, Mr.T and Sigmund Freud.

"When I was a kid, I drew cartoons all the time. I drew cows and alligators and pigs and superheroes. I drew a platypus named Ed. I drew a dead dog named Dead Dog Bob. I drew everything I saw and everything I wanted to see.

Many years passed. By a strange series of coincidences, I found myself working in an office. The more I used a keyboard, the worse my penmanship became. The constant hum of computers made my brain twitch. That’s when I stopped drawing cartoons.

Then the chickens came.

Like some sort of haunting supernatural force, the chickens bubbled up from the ol’ subconscious mind. In a trance-like state, I drew them on office whiteboards. I drew them in notebooks. I drew them on anything that sat still long enough. People started asking, “Who’s drawing those damn chicken cartoons everywhere?” The chickens were unstoppable. To retain my sanity, all I could do was grab a stack of sticky notes and release the Savage Chickens."

Timspiration!





Are Matt Stone and Trey Parker ( the creators of South Park) fans of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem? Is this where the inspiration for Timmy's catchphrase came from? (see the 0.21, 0.34,0.47 and 1 min mark of The Clancy Brothers clip to see what i'm talking about )


Cheers Padre!
