I scribbled this with a purple highlighter and then ran it through the photocopier, twice, just for fun because I was bored.
Speaking of which, I was flipping through the Classified section of the paper today and saw this ad looking to hire a designer, preferably “experienced with using Xerox machine”. Hmm?!
I’ll give them the benefit of doubt. Maybe they are just looking to do a fun project which requires the use of a Xerox machine. I heard the opening credits to the movie Juno was made by running frame-by-frame sequence of Ellen Page walking through the neighbourhood through a bad quality photocopier and then animating them again. Very time consuming, but what a cool idea!
Ellen DeGeneres once said in a monologue that 1000 poodles is scarier than 1 leopard with no legs. What could it do? It’s got no legs! Unless it fell on your head, if it was on a tree (how could it get there?) and you’re walking down the street, it falls and clamps onto your head. It’s furious that it’s got no legs so it just clamps on! And you’re like, “Somebody help me, please!”
And then this group of animal rights activist walks by and spots you and starts throwing paint at you. And you’re like…
Now that would have been scary.
Speaking of scary, I also had a little bit of extra time to doodle this comic strip. I haven’t give the monster a name though. Any suggestion?
I might develop it into a series if more ideas come my way, or else, into the scrap bin it goes.
