Strip #28 Ear Communicator

This strip was inspired by a very proud individual I saw in a store with his Bluetooth ear piece on. It kind of stuck out from his ear and it had a very bright blue flashing light. I have never seen a person that looked so ridiculous, look so proud of himself. It amazes me how individuals feel elevated by their technological devices. Hey I love my iPod but do I need to carry it around in full view just to be admired, come'on! The cell ear piece and Blackberry must be the worst of the bunch. At least with the Blackberry it can be tucked away in your pocket!

My only regret is that I did not produce this strip earlier, at the height of the ear piece fad. I had it in my mind for a few years but decided to put it to ink before it was too late.

Mothership is back

Sorry for the delay, been busy and lazy. Now due to the writers strike I can take advantage of the lack of good quality entertainment on TV and work on the strip. Mothership will move away from being a continuous story line, although a couple of strips will tie together. That way it will be more marketable to the newspapers. I have sketched a couple of strips already featuring Manga Mirror and Mancoons, which should provide some interesting reoccurring characters. Stay tuned...
