This is my rendition of that scene in Illumatus! where the woman gets crucified upside-down on a peace-sign. Except that i forgot that the Atlanteans where supposed to be covered in full body hair, but whatever

woooot.
yay topiary. is fav.
clear mind is my fav.
that little guy is cute.
I liked the first one. What is "Zo." in english?
I think this will be my new word for the week.
"Zo! another printer jam!"
"What another snow storm is coming? Zo!"
in this context, it means something like "there."
like "zo, another job well done"
but as this forum's token dutch, i give you permission to use the word however you like, for the duration of next week.
Oh, I interpreted it wrong.
I thought it was like "Zo! Another One!?!"
An expression of surprise.
no it's kinda like (since we're gonna milk it now anyway), the guy sees this "object", spends a few moments examining it, but is still entirely unclear about what it is, what it's for etc. so he goes away and does the only semi-sensible thing a human can do in a universe without meaning or purpose: create order. in this case, order is created by fetching and putting an identical object right next to it (regardless of its purpose).
(the meta-story is, that i drew the first four panels quite randomly, just doodling a bit, forcing myself to create another cartoon without much inspiration, and only for the fifth panel started thinking where this should actually be heading. like the guy in the story, i pretty much came up empty-handed as well, and finished it up like this)
Ah, I see my mistake now. I thought the second one had materialized by itself.
you silly man, things like that don't just materialize out of thin air :lol:
My two favorite are Reality Warped and Cracking and Topiary. Awesome work, zipzipzip!

"Octopus", translation:
panel 2, fish: "hey, hi, you know, octopus, like, hi, hey, why do you only have one arm?"
panel 3, octopus: "well, that's because of the perspective!!"
panel 4, fish: "oh, i thought it was because of your camouflage colouring!"
panel 4, octopus: "ooh! that's also a nice excuse, right.."
panel 5: FIN (also the wink + circular cutout is a reference to the belgian childrens cartoon "suske & wiske", called Spike & Suzy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_and_Suzy) in Britain)

000, your drawings don't suck that hard.
I really like the mushrooms, and the flower. And others, but those are my favorites.

Me too. :)
Also, the device in the first one reminds me of a portal gun...
triangle man does hate particle man.
and if they ever fight...... triangle wins.
oh you get it.
these are great!
Your style reminds me of the art in The Maxx, both the cartoon and the comic book... which is bad ass.
believe it or not, one of the few comics i got graphical inspiration from was Silver Surfer ;-)
[and a bunch of absurdist dutch/belgian cartoons, but more thematic than drawing style, which is mostly my own]

000 these are awesome. The flower one especially.
These are made of win.
I dig the style.
:mittens:
I like them
some of these are damned cool, flower thing is something i'd want to have on my wall. the more apocalyptic have been snagged for my inspiration folder.
thanks for sharing these and keep em comin'
thank you :) if some of the apocalyptic ones ever happens to inspire one of your writings on this board, i wanna know which :)
about the flower thing, you are lucky cause i happened to have scanned it on insanely high res:

though if you wanna print it real big, you might wanna vectorize it first, otherwise you're still gonna get pixels.
