The Bunnies must be ever vigilant to protect their land and crops. An early morning cup of broth prepares this warrior for his day of hunting.

Freaky Friday...Robot Wash!
In the future, automobiles will be self-maintaining and self-cleaning. This will not be a problem for those student clubs that need to raise some cash because there will be plenty of robots that will do our dirty jobs and they will need the occasional maintenance and shine.
Happy Friday!

Moleskine Madness...Looking For the Buddha!
I had another very vivid dream last night about searching for the next Dalai Lama. All that came of this was this cartoon. I think that there is a t-shirt epithet in there somewhere.
Happy Friday!

Moleskine Madness...To The Moon!
I had this very vivid and lucid dream last night that I created and built a launch vehicle and robotic lunar rover. It was very successful and started a new space race. The lunar surface was soon occupied with assorted habitats and each one had a statue of me in a prominent place. It was a good dream.
Happy Friday and sweet dreams!

Moleskine Madness...The Bat!
With
much apologies to Bob Kane and all of the awesome artists that have
drawn the Batman over the years, here is my quickie version. I
always enjoyed the Batman comics when I was a young dude. I would go
over and over them and copy the different styles. I was never the
action comics type though. What really got me hooked on the Bat was
the 1960’s television show with Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward
as Robin. What an eclectic cast that show had. Julie Newmar , and
Eartha Kitt as the Catwoman, that was a little confusing when they switched actresses but, it worked. Burgess Meredith as the Penguin,Cesar Romero as the Joker, Otto Preminger as Mr. Freeze, and the
multi-talented Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. I think that most people
would remember Frank from the classic Trek episode in which he was
one of the antagonists in a bizarre racial war that persisted until
only two were left and those two were intent on destroying each
other, ‘Let That Be Your Last Battlefield’ is the title if you
want to see a clip online. Frank was also an impressionist, along the
lines of Rich Little and Jim Carrey in his early career.
There
are many new versions of Batman. The Batman movies started with Tim
Burton in the late 1980’s and continues today in big budget
blockbusters with CG effects. There have been many actors to portray
the Bat but, in my opinion, none have been equal to Adam West, whom
seemed to really enjoy doing all that goofy stuff in front of
millions on television every week.
I
continued to watch Batman episodes when they were shown in
syndication. It ran on the air for a long time. Much like ‘Gilligan’s
Island’ and ‘The Munsters’, ‘Batman’ was always on the box
somewhere. It became like an old friend in my teenage and early adult
years. Though now, it is considered very campy and corny, Batman
always reminds me of how seriously I took the show in my early youth.
Before the cynical teenage years took hold.
Of
course, that television Batmobile was really cool too!

Moleskine Madness...Science and Fiction...
A quick coffee sketch today. I was thinking about that first episode, the premiere, of ST:TNG and that dystopian future Earth. That was 'Encounter at Farpoint', not a great episode by any stretch but, at that time any Trek was good Trek. I honestly thought that it probably wouldn't be around very long. It did get better and was well into its prime by 1994 when the last episode included flashbacks or was that flash forwards to that first episode. The 'Q' were an interesting species of omnipotent beings, that would test other species on the conviction of their beliefs. I'm surprised that the writers never seized on that for one of the ST:TNG motion pictures. Those movies were getting cliched with the 'Oh, no! Data is going bonkers again!' plots. I'm sure that John de Lancie would have jumped at the chance!
Happy Friday!

Moleskine Madness...20k Leagues...
Okay, this is from memory:
"...I have a whale of a tale to tell you lads,
a whale of a tale or two!
About the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved,
on a night like this with the moon above,
a whale of a tale,
and it's all true,
I swear by my tattoo!"
Ha! I think I got it! Happy Friday!

Moleskine Madness...Disco ET!
It would seem that on some alien world deep in the crowded inner cluster of the Milky Way galaxy there are beings that still wear bell bottom trousers. They blissfully ignore this fashion faux pas and cheerfully hang onto the theory that everything old will eventually be new again.

Moleskine Madness...The Pigskin Toss!
I'm outside tossing around the old pigskin.
Are they supposed to squeal like that when they hit the ground?
