Hey there friends. It’s Wednesday morning and that means it’s time for a new mash-up. Maybe this will help me wake up this morning because it’s been super tough for me to do so lately.
The Guardians of the Galaxy theme continues this week. Be sure to click on the picture to enlarge it because bigger is better.
Red Rich is Rocket Raccoon because really…who else was going to be Rocket? I’ve rarely spent so much time drawing a gun as I did here. I think it turned out pretty well though. It’s not often when I draw Red Rich without a coloured mask, but it just made sense for Rocket.
That’s all for the titular Guardians but the theme isn’t over. Next week the Guardians of the Galaxy theme continues. Find out what other characters will be mashed next Wednesday!

There are some days where you figure you might have been better off if you’d just stayed in bed. This was one of those days.
I woke up at around my regular time. I glanced outside my window and things looked dark but I didn’t notice it was raining. When there’s no rain, I bike to work, which means I can leave whenever I’m ready. This morning that was at about 7:10. I got up from my chair…Ooooh! My back wasn’t happy. My back hasn’t been happy for a while now, but it was really grumpy this morning. It usually loosens up fairly quickly though so I pushed on. I went to put my coat on and looked outside…it was raining. Doh! The bus passes at 7:15. No way I’m going to make it. Double Doh! Looks like I’m going to get in to work at 8:30 this morning. I sketched out a comic in the meantime.
At 8 I left to catch the bus. The rain was coming down hard. I do not own an umbrella and there’s no shelter at my bus stop. That’s 15 minutes in the rain. I did not plan this well. At about 8:10 (that’s 10 minutes spent in the rain) I realize, “Hey! That other bus stop down the road is in front of a sheltered terrace. I could be waiting there and not getting wetter than I already am! Well let’s do that then!” So I did.
I wanted to do some extra time at work today. Since I was stuck riding the bus, that meant I’d have to catch the 5:30 bus home. At 5:25 I start getting ready and realize…I don’t have exact change. Most of my section is empty at that time but I managed to find someone with change for my toonie. I got downstairs…just in time to see the bus pull out of the parking lot. I had missed the bus for the second time.
I considered walking home but I didn’t get fifty paces before I realized I REALLY didn’t want to do that. I texted my mom to see if I could get a ride. No answer. Looks like I was going to have to wait an hour for the next bus.
Fortunately, one of my coworkers who finished later than I did and offered me a ride home. I texted my mom to tell her all was well and I’d found a ride. Fifteen minutes later I was home.
Okay, so that’s it for this week’s blog. Have a good week folks!

“Good morning aspiring scholars!”
*in a flat monotone* “Good morning Mr. Raditch.”
Ahh Degrassi Junior High…That has nothing to do with today’s flashback, but it was on my mind so I had to get it out. Now that it’s out, I can move on!
It’s back to DC Comics for today’s flashback. Gotham just premiered this week, so there’s a little synchronicity there. I think I used the word right. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.
Cyran is back as Batbunny! I’m not gonna lie. This one turned out so much better than I first thought he would. I really, really dig it, the colours in particular. The costume is based on the New 52 look for Batman.
Here’s the comparison with the original. I always felt like Cyran as Batbunny was one of the weakest of the original DC mash-ups so I’m glad to have done a much better job this time around though I feel that incorporating the wrench into the bat emblem on his chest in the original was a fun touch.
That’s all for this week. We’re going to be having two weeks of Cobra coming up next. See you next Friday for the first!
