During my lunch break today I wandered the grounds of the Strang Institute where I caught sight of our two cloned mastodons. Betsy and Violet are pretty elusive, so if you spot them then you’re pretty lucky. I ran across them goofing around in the relatively warm January sun and did some quick sketches. Violet even came right up to me to see what I was doing.
The All-Too-Familiar Pinching Flit
by Mission Control on January 6, 2012 at 10:01 amAmong Planet X’s more obnoxious denizens is the Familiar Pinching Flit (seen here actual size). Sure, they might look all fuzzy and cute, but behind that big puppy-dog eye that melts your heart lies a critter so annoying, it drives both quadrapus and marf mad.
This particular species of flit spends its days sucking the juicy interiors out of a variety of jelly grasses. Once it’s had its fill, it quickly grows bored. And a bored flit is a flit looking for trouble. It then meets up with other bored flits and they start buzzing around, looking for a victim.
Then the pinching starts. This is where it helps to have a titanium alloy shell.
I’m here in Chicago for a day, so when visiting Tom Dell’Aringa’s backyard it seems like the right thing to do is post a little sketch of his Marooned characters. And here you go!
Just some more doodles from the sketchbook. Here we have Opus the Penguin, Faith Erin Hicks’ Superhero Girl, and a Parasaurolophus colored like a Canada Goose. Enjoy!
My good friend John Nagridge requested a Jawa to add to this week’s unintentional Star Wars themed blog posts. So here’s one now, sans hoodie.
