Last of the Summer Heroin.

Having retired from a full career of 7o's/ Voodoo themed crime, Tee Hee Johnson, Whisper and Baron Samedi spent the gentle twilight of their years roaming the West Yorkshire countryside, laying in haystacks, sitting on bridges and undertaking hair-brained escapades.

Jet vs Tee Hee Johnson, Baron Samedi and Whisper

Surviving the less thorough dispatches suffered by Kananga/ Mr Big , his primary henchmen where later thwarted in Voodoo/ drug related capers by Jet from Gladiators against a full Wings soundtrack.

Sadly, the only others I can think of are Mull of Kintyre or Band on the Run (when performed by The Foo Fighters)

Speedo's Rule

Whilst away last week in the wilds of Northern France we went to a piscine. It turns out that the 'no shorts in french pools' legend is true. As we found out as when this lifeguard diverted us shouting 'Non monsieur' and directed us to a lady with a basket full of used Speedo's, sizes 5 years to 75 years. And some as old. Still, breaking my neck on the water slide and losing my kids in the wave machine covered my embarrassment.

Getting back into it.

Having spent a week away in the internetless wild French coutryside, without a working tape player in the car either this seemed the ideal opportunity to get back to Blog. Instigated by Mark at Badlibrarianship I have followed his instructions, stopping at the point where i should list seven others to continue the fun. I haven't seven people to lumber but any passers by fancy offering a current choice, that might count.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to’.

1. Just for the sheer potty-mouthed joy of it, Dean Ween belting out 'My Own Bare Hands' at Shepherds Bush Empire last month has had me singing along since.

2. Sharing The Spongebob Squarepants Movie OST with Ween was Lemmy in his Motorhead years but this might be where it all started.

3. There's a continuing enjoyment from MCR doing The Black Parade song. It's all great when the Brian May guitar sound belts in. It's like a grown up coming in to junior rock school and showing all the fresh face enthusiastic young ones how to do it properly. Not allowed to link to the video which might be just as well.
4. After that, there must be the real thing, as nature made sound so that Queen would record Fat Bottomed Girls.

5. Maybe it's because it's that time of year, once again when I spend as much time on the sea as on land but this is rattling through my head while watching those sonar screens or gps plotters just now. 

6.The Go Team are one of  the 'get on with your work'  part of my Itunes so they're on a lot. Great for comic action.

7. As i've heard it most days since Christmas, the other 'levee' song.

Now i'm back, maybe they be drawing too. Goo Girl and The Crapodiles must be getting bored hanging around for so long.

Special Guest Appearance

Dan McDaid comic artist extraordinaire is now the only other person to have artwork on this blog. He's been taking requests for Warm Up drawings and rendered this cracking version of Elka of the Swedish Heroes.
Thanks loads, it made my day.

Gak Gak! (most likely 'get her!')

Where the Mac10's have had little effect penetrating Goo Girls Goo, even at close range, the reptile captain expects The Solar Centurian to be more effective. Cue The Meeeper.

Further Interruption, Tardis Cosy/ Johnny

This last week or so the 'school run' has been livened up as we've been passing the construction of a life size Tardis in some fella's driveway. With the possible threat of wet weather the Tardis is now sheathed in a protective johnny/ cosy, presumably until it's ready to fly.

Part 10 of 13 of the Crapodiles and Smazmak vs Gelatina at the Java Jug Cafe will be along soon.

The Meeeper

Smazmak frazzles his Dave the Biker disguise while electro-frying Crapodile No 3. Unfortunately for the Solar Centurian, the reptiles have a secret weapon.

Dave the Biker bites the bullet.

Back

It's been a while, I've seen Ween, been to sea and found fish, seen Stormtroopers and had comics signed, been drawing for money and drawing for fun and I now have a pipeline that is occupied by at least 'some' things.

Further Take-Outs.

Gelatina gets her squidge on.

Further Swedish Hero related interruption.

Colonel Mace made a pretty reasonable comment in this weekend's Dr Who . . . .

I should say he has a point.

The Take-Outs

Sour times at The Java Jug

Though the mystery jogger is at the scene.
