#133: The See Monster

It begins. Ladies and gentlemen, our first Characterfest character, the See Monster! For many centuries, people of the Old Norse region have heard terrifying tales of a multi-pupiled ocean beast know as the See Monster. First spotted in the 900s by amazingly mustached Scandinavian viking Vindell Yorkerstav, word of the dangerous creature spread across the region. With constantly multiplying eyes surveying the waters for prey, the See Monster lurks around to this day, ripping up ships and making the giant squid look like a rubber ducky. (This character is a reflection of my love of myth creatures, like Nessy and Big Foot. A glimmer of hope that the world isn't completely normal.)

CHARACTERFEST BEGINS!

Hello, people of the interwebs! As you can probably tell from the zero time left on the Countdowninator, today is Characterfest! (Imaginary applause.) Today will be a joyous celebration of absolute weirdness, filled with many bloggy surprises. I don't want to spoil anything, but there will be beards. Okay, let's get this thing started! Click the video below for a proper anthem:

IMPORTANT BULLETIN!!!

Hey, guys. I know I haven't been as frequent post-wise lately, so to make up for it I am making a proclamation. This Saturday is the first annual Characterfest, a holiday for all wacky enough to take part! Characters! Guest artists! Straight from the JC-Verse! And other random oddities to brighten and sufficiently weirden your otherwise average day! Multi-fonted, Photoshop-made poster, tell them more!

#132: Super Little Cape (Golden Age Edition)

Hey, guys. My sincerest apologies for disappearing like that, I was waiting for the supplies to make a specific character. But fear not. I am back and ready to share with you a character inspired by one of my favorite comic book eras. Ladies and gentlemen, Super Little Cape, Golden Age edition! As I show you today, the olden days of superheroes, one chock-full of phone booths and spandex, also had a Super Little Cape (see #125). This one happened to be Thomas Terry, mild-mannered, dippy-do-haired resident of Whamopolis, Washington. After being laid off by his newspaper employers, the Whamopolis Jabber, he found himself chosen by the mystic cape itself to protect the protectable. After that, he was Super Little Cape, flying over the Whamopolis streets and fighting such dastardly dudes as the Martian Master and Chillzo. He also won back his news column at the Jabber! You know the Man of Steel? This guy's the Man of Spiel.

#131: Ferdinand Magellan (JC-Verse Edition)

Time for another installment from the brightly-colored haven of craziness known as my friend Sophie's mind. Ladies and gents, Ferdinand Magellan! I know. Ol' Ferdinand already existed. But this is the JC-Verse version, and you have to know by now that whatever is in the JC-Verse is 193 times weirder than the same thing in our universe. Real math, people. This Magellan didn't just stop at the seas of Earth, no. He went all-out. That's right. He was an inter-dimensional traveler. After getting tossed into the infinite BEYOND... BEYOND... BEYOND, the cartoonishly flamboyant explorer of the sea took off with his crew and began his circumnavigation of the universe, meeting several E.T.s, including #127: Ozbald of Wuzzlemoo. His current whereabouts is unknown, but my guess is chilling like a villain with Captain Jack Sparrow. A friendship made in Heaven.

HAPPY B-DAY, PAMPA!

Today is the 83rd anniversary of the day the world got just that more awesome. That's right, today is my Pampa's birthday and I wanted to do something special for it. So, without further ado, I give you Pampafest.

BAD-OFF CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL: THE IMPOSSIBLE

Looks like the Bad-Off poll just got real.

"EGOEY"

Here's an "Egoey" straight from Doug's Twitter. I tried to tell the furry fellow it's called a selfie, but he wouldn't budge. Something about "not submitting to the will of the youngins."
