Moving Pictures

Still thoroughly degumptionated around here. I need to do some cleaning, clearing, rewiring and furnituring before i can put the alternate system into service.

Maybe today - we'll see.

Meanwhile, since there's nothing doing in these parts, let's step out and look somewhere else on the net.

Are you familiar with comic artist Kerry (or even Terry) Callen? We've seen his Super Antics here once previously, but have yet to get back to him. Every now and again, he likes to play with old covers. The results can be entertaining...

If you like those, you can find more of them, and some animated interiors as well, available on Kerry's blog - along with a variety of other things, including unpublished artwork. He doesn't post often, but it can be entertaining.

And i like those covers.

Oddly enough, there's also a strong connection between Kerry and the artwork seen in the Maintainance Report <sic> a couple posts back. Maybe the ol' peripatetic brain will wander over that way...

Sunday Super Funnies Timewarp

Wasn't i here before? I don't think you were with me last time. Now we're late with the Sunday Funnies!
Who can we turn to for help?
How about - a Sunday Superman Selection!

That comes from Wally Wood way back in the days when Mad was a color comic book, before relaunching as a black & white magazine to escape Comic Code tyranny. The cover, by Harvey Kurtzman, from that issue (#4):

Now let's shift to more modern comics, via the web.

Our first is modern in origin, but actually older in design aesthetic. It comes from Kerry Callen, and you can find more of his Super Antics on his blog.

Superman/Batman fun from the Brazilian Dragonarte site:

That last one looks like the URL ends in .bk - it's actually .br (Brazil)

And to make sure i'm not inundated by Batfanatics, here's a counterpoint from Nebezial:

comics from Mad #4 (1953) and attributed websites (see links)
