Hello Top Men and Top Women!

Last week was not a great week. I fell sick and there was some unpleasant drama at Les Dés Truqués that I could have done without. The shakedown hasn’t fully resolved from that drama yet but it should this week. I’m just hoping for the best result possible.

I’ve started work on a new story arc for the Funnies that will start up in March. Deema’s back in the spotlight after being nearly invisible for so long. It’s getting so that I need to learn how to draw her efficiently again. That’s how out of practice I am.

There isn’t much else to report so this’ll be a short blog post. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday! Carja V.

Saturday Night’s Main (Flashback) Event – Mr. Perfect

Hi. It’s Sunday morning and I missed another posting date. More on that another time. For now, let’s just try to have a little fun.

Curt Hennig was all shades of awesome. It took a little bit for me to notice, because he was a bad guy and all, but he was just so great at everything he did in and out of the ring. He wasn’t far from his moniker. He’s grown to be one of my favorites of all time. After a while, everybody realized that he was what he said he was. And he said, he was perfect!

Here’s Todrick as Mr. Perfect. There was nothing really flashy about Mr. Perfect. He wore a brightly coloured singlet. He carried a towel and he chewed gum. Without fail, on his way to the ring he would spit his gum and swat it away with his hand before it hit the ground. It’s so iconic I had to try to recreate it in the mash-up.

Here’s the comparison to the original piece. The proportions are all off in the original of course. His swatting arm is still longer than it should be but that’s the way it came out.

That’s all for this week. More wrestling fun next week.

In a World of Pure Imagination

Greetings programs!

I had a good time at Shawicon on Saturday. I got to meet Raymond Rougeau (a class act), Yvon Barrette, Jerry Houser and Allan Nichols from the movie Slapshot (very entertaining) and I bought myself an awesome hat. Not just ANY hat mind you, a leather bycocket, or if you prefer, a Robin Hood hat. I’m not usually one for hats, but I had to make an exception in this case. It truly is amazing.

To temper that bit of good fortune, I think I’m coming down with something. I spent my Saturday in the company of Fab and Lyne who are battling bronchitis and sinusitis respectively. I don’t know how contagious those are, but I don’t know that it’s a coincidence that I developed a pesky cough on Sunday. For the most part, other than that I’m fine, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I take a downward turn in the next couple of days.

I received The Grimm Forest on Friday and it is one of the most lavishly produced games I’ve ever seen. The Kickstarter was extremely successful and they delivered big time. The game play is fun too so you know, bonus.

In my haste to complete my strips on Saturday and getting ready for Shawicon I forgot to post a mash-up on Saturday. There will be no catch-up post this week. Hopefully I won’t forget again next week. 🙂

That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
