Halloween Spacktacular

Today I got a lot done. In between eating and walking around, I also bought some stickers and finished the cover of the new Proton Penguin #2: Special Halloween Issue. It will be interesting to see if I get it finished before Halloween. I thought of the story while watching the last episode of From the Earth to the Moon. While it wasn't relevant to the story in any way, it was inspiring in a general sort of way. Triumph of the human spirit kind of thing.
If you've seen the kind of work i've been doing lately, then you'll know that I like to put hats on birds. so you're probably wondering, "What kind of hat has he put on him?" Well, as you can see, I've used MS Paint to black out all the parts of the cover that would give his costume away. So you'll have to wait until whenever I feel like finishing this to find out.




A lot of people (one) have(has) been asking, "What's next for the Penguin?" and "When is issue #0.75 coming out?" Well, Michelle, I think i'm going to stick with whole numbers from now on. As for what's next, who knows? Olde, dead villains might return from the grave, (I kind of HAVE to do that since this IS a comic book after all.) but some new villains will definitely be introduced. I've got a lot of ideas. Mostly ones I came up with during Microbiology 4 or 5 years ago. All of those are kind of sciency and seemed really funny at the time, but I was on a lot of medication back then if you'll recall.

deady bear...........get it?


What does all this mean? Is this the beginning of the new earthVSsoup press comic book series? Or was I just wasting time last weekend trying to avoid doing any "real" work, which I have a lot of?

I guess you'll never know. Alls I'm saying is that it would be pretty awesome to have that bear fight legions of the undead for the good of all humanity. I think about it all the time and IT IS GREAT! Can you just imagine him and that rabbit in a dilapidated old house, absolutely surrounded by hordes of re-animated corpses? And having to use baseball bats, chainsaws, molotov cocktails, sawed-off shotguns, bear traps(haha), flaming arrows, anvils, machetes, and samurai swords to fight them off? But also zombie-related things are a dime a dozen in this, two-thousand and ten, the Year of Our Lord. So I would have to come up with a really good "plot", something I don't really "excel" at.
