Jazz Transformed

Okay okay, I'm not THAT lazy, here is Jazz Transformed. He's fairly a proportionate robot, his legs are a little big, and his shoulders are kind of boney. I'm not sure why his front grill has a springy thingy inside, and the sides are on hinges? I really like the telescoping weapon! Too many Transformer weapons are based off projectiles. They don't all have to shoot things. Beast Wars always did a good job of alternative weapons too. Like Rhinox's spinning saw blade weapon with the maises.

I also saw the G1 Painted Starscream at Target, but Im not really a fan of his movie design. Kind of Triangular. Actually, if its still there, I should pick one up and throw it in the closet. I'm sure one day I will do a 180, once I know I can't find him. But that brings up the issue of how many times to I have to buy the same character. Gets kind of creepy when you have 5 Optimus Primes, 5 Dukes, 5 Destros, 5 Chewbaccas...

Target Jazz

I guess my toy luck is improving again. After the debockle trying to get the 25th Anniversary Joes my luck changed back to good as I ran into Target Jazz (with only 2 left to spare) Now I have a pretty good modern G1 collection going. Don't like the difficulty on the new Movie Transformers though, takes too much time and effort to go between forms, Jazz looks beter in car form anyway. I would probably collect the Fast Action Battlers if I really wanted movie stuff. Maybe even the step below that. I have become an impatient transformer of Transformers.

Pepsi's Transform Your Summer: what a dud!

I really wanted to win a Pepsi Optimus Prime. I tried my hardest to win, but was shot down. It doesn't bother me, but it's the Transformers who loose in the end. My only hope now is a friend at work says they were sent $20 dollars months after one of those contests ended without any notice of a win. Perhaps that will happen to me.

Chickens on the mind...

You might say with Ulysses launched and on its way, I have chickens on my mind more than most days of late.

Went to the Western Idaho Fair the other day, and got to see real life live Chickens...


This little chicken is not what it seems...


A pox on all who don't read my new webcomic...

Ulysses Chickens in the Wind

Okay okay, enough with the plugging. I went to Captain Comics Fair booth where with a spin of a game wheel, (designed by the company I work for) I won two free comics! I got to pick from a few full boxes. My first though was since I am hyper GI Joeing at the moment I would look for that American Hero - But I got double lucky and found one of those cross-over deals GI Joe and Transformers from 2003 or so. It was a fun read, got issues 5 and 6 out of 6 so I got the end of the story. I was excited to see Optimus Prime as My Favorite Cobra Hiss tank! (not sure why he was dressed as a bad guy though-he acted good still) I also liked how all the other Transformers were still G1 styled. Ken at work borrowed it and said "that was worst comic I have ever read." Hmmm guess that last sentence killed some of the thunder of most of the paragraph.

Pleased at winning two comics that I like, I returned the favor and bought some Chicken Pox. I always wanted one of those stuffed germs. Chicken Pox fits my theme for the moment as well. Runners up were Ebola (painted brown-looked like somthing you would see in toilet- yuck) and some strange green thing with stringy flagelums. I was surprised to see so many STD stuffed animals. What a way to surprise a loved one of their possible future aliment!

Ulysses Chickens in the Wind?

You might have noticed I made a second blogger site that would feature this comic. At the time I wasn't too motivated, but of late I decided that I have been watching WAY to much TV, and producing nothing to show of it. And my comic-ing talents seem to be waisting a way a bit, I thought I better at least sort of try and dust things off. I am actually very mad at myself for not having a web comic site up, since that is what I really like doing; writing comics! So I ran into Smack Jeeves the other day, and though, this would be the place to at least get the pen rolling again.

So, if you get time check out Ulysses Chickens in the Wind
Where you will find fantastically rendered art in edge of your seat story lines! All juxtaposed next to some of the finest Emo, Sonic the Hedge Hog, Gothic, and really quite scarry 'alternative' comics around.

Sky-Lynx!

Strange rummors a foot that Sky-Lynx might be reissued! I'm sure it have a heafty price, but maybe less then the mints on ebay.

Mattel toy lead paint recalls are over blown

This whole thing of Mattel toy recalls on account of a .03% lead base paint is so over blown. For example, I have been licking this Batman action figure for years now, and I'm perfectly fine. Stupid recalls, this is all an attack by Organic Toy companies trying to take over the dominant Made in China market that produces so many cool toys.

I say, go to the store and buy more toys!
