Good Old Weapon Brown

This past Monday's Mystery Comic was Jason Yungbluth's "Weapon Brown". In case you missed the link I want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone with an active neuron in their head to waddle over there and take a look at this thing. It's dayam good!

Essentially, it's a post-apocalyptic world populated by almost every cartoon character you've ever seen in the funny pages, viewed through the intensely creative, though entertainingly warped artistic lens of Mr. Yungbluth. All of the characters look "sort of" like their syndicated versions but with a lot more "oomph!"

The protagonist is good old Charlie Brown and his dog Snoop. They're mercenaries kicking mutant ass and saving buxom maidens, all to earn enough jack to run the nuclear pile that sits on Charlie's right shoulder.

Intrigued yet?

If so, you can fine Page One here. You can thank me later.

One more thing... in order to fund a printed version of the strip Mr. Yungbluth is currently selling pages of the artwork for as little as $30. When you see quality of the art you'll understand, as I do, that this is a bargain! Needless to say, I've already made my choices.

I had a blast yesterday putting today's cartoon together but it's only now, in the dismal light of a cold and gloomy Wednesday, that I understand that the initial image, Little Ms. Thousand Foreskins herself, might give one a vague sense of underlying pedophilia. Okay, over-lying pedophilia, but it wasn't intentional. I just picked the image that seemed the most appropriate and slapped the copy on it.

The real culprit lies with any story that uses foreskins as barter material for potential wives. It's not exactly the Fox and the Grapes, if you know what I mean.

'Skins-for-chicks sends the wrong message in every possible way. I mean, these weren't just a few foreskins that just happened to migrating quietly across the sand dunes on the way to their winter nesting grounds when David came running at then waving his magic sword, uttering a few well-aimed invectives. These were, I'm certain, basically penises with a little skin still attached.

Unwilling penises, too, I'll wager.

Saul's daughter may have been one major babe but I think I'll stick to flowers and candy as they seem to be working... for now.
