Lizard Man of SC

My wife ran across this video news report: Lizard Man chewed up my van

I couldn’t believe I had never heard of the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swap. After doing a tiny bit of research I noticed that our Lizard Man needed a name. Native American tribes of Carolinas talked about local living lizard or fish men called the Inzignanin. That’s way long and hard to remember. So I shortened it to Inzig maybe, I should have called him Nanin.

What do you call your local lizard man?

Randolph the tree monster was not fond of the holiday season.
This was compounded further by his unfortunate physical appearance and poor fashion sense.

Carve it up

Go carve you up a pumpkin while the boss is outside on smoke break. I’m sure there are tons of these sites out there. This one just got sent to me today so we’ll just use it.

This is basically the same design I used to loose this years annual Green Villain pumpkin carving contest. My buddy Jamie Ouzts won it for the second year in a row. That’s the first time that has happened in 10 years. He’s a pretty spokey guy.

The story of the Mountain King

The Mountain King

I was going to do a story with the Mountain King for the horror anthology Wide Awake 666. It was actually a fable about a mountain goat and it was going to be done in a paper cut out style. Instead I decided to remove Uncle Jabby from the upcoming Zig Zag 2 comic.

Uncle Jabby

I’m glad I did and I think he works well in the anthology with all the full colorness. Hopefully one day I’ll get around to doing the story of the Mountain King. Until then you’ll just have to enjoy this version of him.

The day the crystal cracked

According to their website they say if you can draw it they can make it. FAO Schwarz now offers custom stuffed animals based on your childs drawing. One of a kind stuffed animal and it’ll only cost you two hundred and fourty nine dollarinos.

While your there why not pick up a few of Brian Froud’s Goblins. I still wish I had a copy of his The World of the Dark Crystal book.

Brian Froud’s Goblins!

While we’re talking about Mr. Froud and the Dark Crystal, did you know they are making a sequal? The Power of the Dark Crystal! I know!! And Mr. Froud is all over it along with Genndy Tartakovsky!

Power of the Dark Crystal

Edit: Like a big dum dum I forgot to mention the new Dark Crystal graphic novel series by Tokyopop. It’s Legend’s of The Dark Crystal and it’s a prequel to the original Dark Crystal movie.

It wasn’t until he was halfway down the street I realized he wasn’t coming back. That day I learned one of life’s lessons… never let a Lion Mane Gremlin ride your skateboard.
