Kabuki Monster

This year is the 70th Anniversary of the Muppets so I present to you the Kabuki Monster! Are there other Muppets I've drawn with Japanese themes? Maybe it's an International theme, maybe I've drawn a German Kermit and a Portuguese Miss Piggy. Maybe the theme is entertainment. Is there a K-Pop Gonzo? Is there a Shakespearean Pepe the Prawn. Maybe you should draw them yourself as this took me a while and I never planned this as a series of drawings. What do you expect from me? If you're that blood thirsty for themed Muppets go use ChatGPT or something, it's probably already consumed Kabuki Monster and will easily spew out a French Fozzy and an Operatic Bunsen Honeydew. You won't even have to think of your own puns, it'll do it for you. 

I asked it make me one of those action figures along with my one eyed Pug Louis. It thought it best to just remove both eyes. Thats the world we live in. A world where AI can just remove your dog's eyes. It had a reference photo and clear instructions that he should have one eye, the right one. ChatGPT gave a wink and a nod and removed my dog's remaining window to the world. So good luck with the horrors that it'll produce for you.

Snitches

It's been a while since I last posted a new comic. Years. I had this one completed at least a year ago but never got round to posting it. Turns out it's a bit small. There's a movie out about an alien called Stitch and he looks suspiciously like an alien called Stitch from an old Disney cartoon. I wonder if they know that. I reckon Disney will be on to them soon. If not I'll be on to them because their Stitch looks a lot like the Stitch in my comic. Tread carefully. Anyway, it's nice to be back.

 

Go West

 

Go West! Thats it. Thats the only advice I have.

Prawn Stars

Throw another shrimp on the barbeeeee! Can anyone say shrimp cocktail? Here's 7 tasty prawns just for you. Look at their succulent bodies. "Imagine" Prawn Lennon served all crispy like tempura! Prawnald McDonald popcorn shrimp? "I'm lovin' it!". Get 'em up ya!

Without Sin

Jesus was a grand lad wasn't he? Walkin' around town doing miracles, shakin' hands, mingling with the little folk. He wasn't a big tipper though. He was always a little reluctant to drop a few coins at the end of a meal. "Your rewards will be in heaven" he used to say. Not if you're a waitress that's going straight to hell though. You can't spend your Jesus tips down there. Just tip properly like everyone else does and stop being a dick.

Waterhole

Everyone ready for Toy Story 4? It's the only thing that pays Tim Allen's mortgage. I couldn't think of a witty name for this one. Waterhole's not great is it? If you look carefully you'll see that I've drawn Woody's Sheriff badge on the wrong side in the second panel. That's why you come here isn't it? These little easter eggs. You could check out the comic on facebook or twitter or instagram but if you want to see me to point out my own short comings you'll have to come to theskeletonblog.com. I'd also like to point out that Andy changed the decor in his room to space stuff once he got got Buzz. Why does this scene take place in a reality where Jessie exists in Andy's room but it's still decorated the way it was at the beginning of Toy Story 1? Why indeed.

Big Plans

If I was Jesus I would have been pretty annoyed that I'd just been sent down to earth to die. I'd mostly be annoyed that they cut out most of my life from the bible. He goes from being a baby to being an adult. Thats the interesting bit we can call identify with. What was he like as a child? What were his puberty years like? The fact they left it out makes me think that he was probably ridin' all round him. Smoking cigs behind the mule shed, throwing stones at sinners as if he was without sin. Where's all that juicy stuff huh?

Damn Dirty Apes

Have you ever been to a zoo where there were only humans? Sometimes in times of great hardship, zoos will have humans in the enclosures dressed in animal onesies instead of real animals. It's much cheaper and means that they can let them out at night to go home and have a nice feed and a warm bed. Some zoos make the humans draw lots the next day to see who gets to be which animal. This practice was the inspiration for The Bloodhound Gang's music video for The Bad Touch.

Beauty and the Deceased

That Gaston's something else isn't he? All those muscles, that big gun. And what about The Beast? He's so tall and rugged.  I think we all know who the real beast is in this fairy tale. It's The Beast obviously. He's the only one that is a literal beast.

A Good Idea

I think my favourite monster is the little maroon one. The one with the wee pants. It's important to protect a monster's modesty when drawing them. When he posed for me he was naked of course. It's kind of expected of life models. I thought it best to use a bit of artistic license and cover up his doodah though.
