Sweet Six it’s time for the last flashback! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Let’s get right to it.

Our last theme is Star Wars. It’s been such an important part of my life growing up, it’s kind of fitting. As always, click on a picture and you’ll get to see it again only bigger!

Popkin of all characters is the one to close things out as Chewbacca. Why Popkin and not a flashier design to close the flashbacks out with a bang? Honestly, it’s because I almost forgot him and so I stuck him on at the end. Sorry about that ol’ bird. Have a jar of gherkins on me!

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up.

And that’s it for the flashbacks. Maybe someday I’ll feel the urge to revisit some of those middle mash-ups. I know I can do them better but they weren’t nearly as bad as the first sets. For now I’m ready to move on to something else that’s different yet the same. The new strip series featuring the Pickle Patch Bandits starts next Friday! I hope to see you all then!

Good time period gentles. I hope the day is finding you well. If not, perhaps this mash-up will lighten your day. If so, then may this only make it better!

What’s old is new! As I said a while back, the new theme is bringing newer characters into old themes. This week we start with Star Wars. As always, click on the picture you’d like to enlarge.

Skitter is here to start us off as Wicket W. Warrick. He’s adorable, right?

Skitter

That’s all for this week. Next week, Chae is going to grace us with her presence. Who will she be flying as? Come back on Wednesday to find out!

Hello flashback fans! Welcome to the penultimate edition of Flashback Friday. After this week, there’s only one flashback to go. Before we get there, let’s enjoy this week’s edition.

This week is the last of the DC flashbacks. As always, click on a picture so you can see an enlarged view.

Nektara is closing the superhero theme as Wonder Bear. As I did with the other DC flashbacks, I chose a different costume for the flashback. Because they worked so well before, I went with the New 52 universe version. In all honesty, this isn’t one of my best, but I don’t think it’s horrible or anything. I just don’t like the way her bottom half turned out.

Wonder-Bear

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. I’d always considered the original Wonder Woman mash-up to be the weakest of that theme. Even if the remake isn’t as good as I would have liked, it’s still leagues better (see what I did there?) than the original.

DC-Nektara-TaN

And that’s all for this week. Next week is the last of the Star Wars mash-ups. Come by next Friday to see who’s closing things out!

League of Legends – Teemo

Hello how nice to see you! Wednesday has struck which as you know means a mash-up is on deck. Let us go up top to see who awaits us!

It’s the last of the League of Legends mash-ups today. As always, click on the picture to see an enlarged close-up.

Skitter is here to close things out as Teemo. Before I had any idea what League of Legends was, I knew that I liked Teemo. He’s so cute, right?

Skitter---Teemo

That’s it for this week. Next week, I start revisiting some older themes to give the chance to newer characters, principally Skitter and Chae, but there could be a few surprises, to appear in them. Where do we start? Find out next Wednesday!

Hiya hiya hiya! Howaya howaya howaya? It’s Friday folks! The best day of the work week (because it’s the last day of the work week). Let us celebrate Friday’s greatness with a flashback while we still can!

It’s a Star Wars week (and as mentioned last week, not the last). As always, click on the picture to see an enlarged close-up view!

Red Rich returns as Grand Moff Tarkin. I decided to go with a classic Tarkin pose this time out. The arms are probably a little longer than they should be to allow for it.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up.

That’s all for this week! Two more flashbacks left! DC gets their last flashback next week. Remember who? Find out next Friday!
