All Aboard for Mars

June 1st, 2012 · 4 Comments

“All Aboard for Mars” is a cartoon slide show using all of my characters from “Doug and Mike’s Adult Entertainment.”  I’d grown quite familiar with them; and wondered what they would be like in another setting, without Mike’s characters.  I sketched the whole business with pencil and markers, rather than my usual ink, and performed it on R. Sikoryak’s long-running series “Carousel.”  The acting class went on an expedition to Mars, where they were captured by Martians and forced to put on a talent show.  Doug’s nephew Kevin won handily, and was crowned king.   Here’s the exciting scene where they almost crash into an asteroid.

    It’s very beautiful. Can I be the first ER doc on Mars?

    Are you sure you want that? Remember, Kevin is king.

    This reminds me of something I came across recently, some of the oddest photos I’ve ever seen, very post modern (a collection called “Get Your Ass to Mars”): http://www.ratio3.org/exhibitions/2011/takeshi-murata-get-your-ass-mars
