Truly July

July 2, 2009 by Eluria

As we head into the 2nd half of 2009, we here at X-Mer central think that with recent events like the Evil in Iran, it’s time for something F-U-N.

& as it happens, I’ve got just the thing.



You see, just recently I created this little tribute of sorts on my computer.

& since it turned out rather nice, I’ve decided to share it with you.



Now before we get to the BIG reveal, I’ll just say it’s about music.

Music from the 80’s.

Music from the 80’s sung by a certain special artist.



- An artist who had this… original type of look.

- An artist who wasn’t afraid to wear heavy make-up in public.

- An artist who began a singing career because of a certain father.

- An artist whose appearance could change drastically from one moment to the other.



I’m guessing that by now you know exactly who I’m talking about.

So, without further ado…



It’s showtime, Synergy !



No One Else Is The Same


Now go make your cartoon heroes @ the South Park Studio.


RIP

…Surgical Freak ?

…Child Molester ?

…Unfit Father ?



NO !



To me he’s that cool guy who together with Quincy Jones (& other very talented folks) gave me “Off The Wall” & “Thriller“.

For those creations & possibly more, I thank you.



Michael Jackson RIP

Obama Vs Osama – The Things To Come

June 19, 2009 by Eluria

The tragedies on 9/11 were like a bolt out of the blue – they happened very quickly & very suddenly.

Thus no one was really prepared for the events of that day.



Now, whether you lurve him of hate him, no one really knows how President Obama will react to a (possible) new terror strike.

This has now changed…

Forever.

Sure, he seems like a really nice guy but in reality he’s a cold blooded killer…



Yes, for this is a man who IS prepared to hurt a fly if necessary… with his own bare hands even !



Impressive ’cause a fly isn’t exactly easy to kill:

- Has compound eyes
- Flies really fast
- Quite a small target

& yet the poor bastard didn’t even stand a chance.

No sir, not with Barack on the job. Let’s see Dick Cheney try that (without his gun).



So all you terrorists… be afraid.

Be very afraid :mrgreen:



Obama Vs Osama

The Ol’ Switcheroo…

June 16, 2009 by Eluria

So, President Obama has managed to con… vince yet another country into taking in Guantanamo terrorists detainees.

Good for him.

But this time it’s none other than Italy’s TV channel owner Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi.

Why the bad boy of Euro politics accepted this plan is anyone’s guess.



…or is it ?

Knowing Silvio’s tactics, he’d only agree to do this if Obama returned the favor…

Somehow.

& seeing as the Prez wants to close Guantanamo at all costs, it’s only logical to think that some kind of deal was struck between them.



What did Obama have to do for this man” you ask ?

Ohhh, nothing really.

You see, just like any other country leader, Sylvio’s got his own fair share of problems.

& thus it was agreed that if Italy were to take in 3 dangerous men, Obama was to take in a couple of troublemakers in return.



Yes, on US soil you will now find 2 of Italy’s greatest threats…

(to Berlusconi’s continued political career that is.)



Obama Vs Osama



Obama, what a guy ! :mrgreen:


Reform ? Nah, 4 More Years Of Suppression !

June 14, 2009 by Eluria

Question:

With more than 40 million people eligible to vote – how can 63% of the ones that actually voted be SO stubborn ???

Answer:

They aren’t.

No one in their right mind would willingly choose for a continuation of a policy of backwardness.

This is pure corruption of power with the goal to keep the status quo for the current leaders intact.

But no matter how mighty, all these types of regimes fall in the end for the will of people who genuinely want freedom cannot & will not be held back…

Obama Vs Osama – Who Do Ya Love ?

June 3, 2009 by Eluria

Well, well, well.

It looks like the big dukaroo has begun.

Both O’s have started a campaign of their own to get Muslims all across this globe behind their respective agenda’s.

One is in the Middle East to hold a key (historic ?) speech in Cairo, Egypt while the other has begun the mud-slinging from… well, wherever he’s hiding.

So, c’mon & join me as we take a closer look at our 2 candidates.

…is this like an election ?” I hear you ask.

Yeah kinda but the stakes are way bigger. Huge even.



Ok, so…

- Obama (President) wants to build bridges & find opportunities for a common future.

- Osama (cave dweller) wants more of the same crap.

Gee, how hard will it be for Muslims to decide who to root for ?

I mean they’ll be SO confused. & the names are sooo similar, that sure won’t help.



Anyhoo, Obama’s been here before, remember ?

He first managed to beat Hillary Clinton & then he beat John McCain.

This is just another opponent for him to tackle. (Yes, he can !)

Osama on the other hand has done his fair share of beating(s) too.

Sending countless of deluded men to their deaths to do his dirty work He has defeated many foes of Islam.

Sure it was a bit bloody along the way but that’s passion, right ?



So, who will finally emerge victorious after the votes of trust have been cast ?



Obama Vs Osama


1-Page Comic Challenge 2009

May 4, 2009 by Eluria

IT’S BACK ! :D

Yes, even though a follow-up wasn’t planned, the 1-Page Comic Challenge was issued once again.

& after almost a whole month of hard labour (& a neverending supply of wonderful setbacks), it’s finally ready to be shown to an unsuspecting world !

Back in 2008, the very first challenge was issued by me. But this year I was the one to be called out.

It all began sometime late February, possibly early March when a pal o’ mine wanted to do it all over again.

& so we did.

I came up with a story for him to draw & he came up with 1 for me.

The catch being of course, it had to fit on just 1 single page. No more.

We then gave ourselves a deadline of about a month to finish the art & we were off…

But unlike last year, there was a theme this time. Superheroes.

This made the project, for me personally, a lot more challenging than the one we did in 2008.

The previously mentioned setbacks were genuine bastards. Never before had I encountered so much… “resistance” in getting some artwork done.

But in the end, I made it… barely.

Another week or so would have benefited the artwork but drawing & the finishing of the story was still an achievement for me. & now that it’s all over I’m glad I got such a “workout” of sorts with what my friend wrote.

Anyway, both of the finished 1-Page Comics are shown below in thumbnail form for you to get the gist of it.



FREE Comic ! another FREE Comic !

Comics U SHOULD Read – Jack Of Fables #33

April 23, 2009 by Eluria

Gee, comics sure sound swell but which ones are for me to enjoy ?

Don’t fret, here’s help: Comics U SHOULD Read

——————————————————————————————————————

-The Deal: “Jack Of Fables” (AKA JoF) is a monthly spin-off comic about Jack Horner who schemes his way through life while trying to screw as many hot girls as he possibly can along the way.

Written by Bill Willingham & Matthew Sturges, drawn by Russ Braun & published by Vertigo/DC Comics.

-The Cast: Jack Horner – a nursery rhyme character, The Literals – (just some of) his enemies, Babe The Blue Ox – a blue ox (don’t ask).

-The Now: Issue 33, the most recent one, was published April 22 2009.

Ever since leaving Fabletown, Jack has mostly been fighting the threat of Mr Revise & the Page Sisters (the so-called Literals) of the prison-like Golden Boughs Retirement Community.

But when a whole new Literal threat emerges that could wipe out not only him but any & all of his fellow Fables, he decides to warn his former friends of Fabletown.

Snow White & the Big Bad Wolf soon arrive to check out Jack’s info. But when things get out of hand between him & ol’ Big Bad & no-one stands up for him, Jack finally decides to leave his own book & head back to “Fables” (the comic he originally starred in)…

-The Type: For people who love fairy tales, drama, humor, metafiction & magnificent bastard types.

There’s Some Really Sick People In This Town #6

April 9, 2009 by Eluria

Welcome to another instalment of this irregular series of posts about that other side of humanity.

Have you ever thought about what the I-net is used for ?

You can use it for e-mailing a relative for example.

Or for playing a game of chess with some stranger on the other side of the planet.

Some however use web search engines to look for pictures.

Special certain pictures.

Perhaps you do too.

Do you secretly download pics off Google ?

Pics no one else must see ?

Pics that others might not tolerate ?

Pics showing your object of desire ?

Pics of a sexy…



chair ?


No ?

A young & wild refrigerator perhaps ?

No ??

Ok, what about that global landmark the Eiffel Tower ?

No ???

Hmmm, I guess you’re not an OS then.



…an objectum-sexual :shock:


& just in case you think I made it all up, here’s the odd link o’ truth.
