Push (2) by MCM in 1889 / June 28th, 2006

I ran my special back-end query on the database for page 1 of Push and got two very unusual entries. I should mention that your entries don’t come as pairs, so the chances of your providing both ideas are pretty slim. So go wild, and don’t worry about logic. I certainly don’t.

Another two questions await below.

The questions (and randomly-selected answers from about 50 pairs) for this page were:

What is at the door?: An apple.
What’s in the drawer?: A double-barrel pulse blaster.

Push (1) by MCM in 1889 / June 24th, 2006

This is a bit of an odd experiment. I’ve been trying to think of an easy way to force myself to keep working at my drawing skills (such as they are), but it’s hard to come up with good ideas on a regular basis. Same idea with writing (non-scripts, that is)… how to keep the ideas flowing? So I got a friend to give me two words around which I would base a story/picture. This is that picture.

But then in the making of it, I realized the next obvious step is to leave a question at the end of each week’s pic, and see what strange things I am fed. It’s like MadLibs except hopefully a bit more coherent. I ask two (or more) questions, pick answers at random, and have to make it work in the next instalment. I’ve already got some answers from friends for this particular shot, but I thought I’d open it up for anyone to toss ideas my way.

So here’s the first page of “Push”, which I can’t really give a genre because I dunno what it’ll be yet.

This week’s words were: orb and quiche.

Twinkly Happy Lightses! by MCM in 1889 / June 21st, 2006

I’m listening to Elfman music while using this visualizer, giving me a wide range of brightness settings rippling across my keyboard. It’s fantastic, it’s dreamy, it’s… it’s… probably going to burn out my backlight, I reckon.

Also, I think it’s giving me a headache.

This does not bode well for my productivity. And yet… I cannot bring myself to uninstall it…

Loose Ends and Other Fun by MCM in 1889 / June 21st, 2006

I keep getting asked for the pic of Diggnation in 2038 from the Espey pic, so rather than just re-emailing it till the end of time, I reckon I can just put it here and everyone can snag it for themselves.

One important note … in the original pic, Alex Albrecht is covered up by Espey’s head. Some people, upon seeing this full version, have commented that Alex looks very pink. This is not because of regular drinking over a 32-year period, as some have guessed. It’s a fashion thing in 2038. Er. Yeah.

Flashy, Silly Hour of Idiocy by MCM in 1889 / June 21st, 2006

In the dead space between my last job and my next (about an hour), I decided to redesign my blog. The original design was a modified version of a Blogger default, so I reckon this’ll be a bit more “me”. So far, not really. It’ll take some more fixing before it’s really right. Plus I have to figure out if I want to add a links bar like the old one had.

I can’t express how much I wish I could post some RB pics. Maybe someday…
