Silly Comic, Citroen ad and the REAL Optimus Prime


Here's a silly one I drew last year but only scanned and coloured it today. While I'm here
let me complain about this. When I saw the Citroen transformer ad I said 'Give that man
money and let him rock our world'

It's good but the text discriptions was better than the actual clip. It's completely arseways structure wise and it comes frustratingly close to being a brilliant social commentary/Mecha Gore piece a few times but just left me in a bad mood.

Still can't wait to see the Transformers film though. The biggest issues and causes of debate among my generation better be addressed or I'm detonating myself outside UCI :

1) Megatron being able to transform in to gun the same size as his hand
2) Where the fuck does the trailer come from when Optimus turns back into the truck?

Speaking of Prime, hear about the national guardsman who legally changed his name to Optimus Prime. He sez the toy filled a void when his Da died. Sounds funny but Optimus
Prime in the original cartoon was such a father figure, his voice commanded respect.

I'm off to fill up some energon cubes with sperm.

Michael O' Leary's stupid face award 2005



Ah...Michael O' Leary, head honchster of Ryanair. Shameless self promoter who can't resist a photo opp. In all fairness to the man he's always entertaining, if not to us, he seems to be entertaining himself. He's the closest thing we have to those crazy dudes in the States who smash up tellies with a lumphammer as part of 'Crazy Larry's TV giveaway bonanza' promotions.




Here are a selection of O' Leary's press pics. He can't help pulling a stupid face or simulating sex with a blow up jet. They read like stag party photos instead of what you'd usually expect from a multi-basnillion Euro business man. But the winner of the 2005 Michael O' Leary's stupid face comp is.........Michael O' Leary, fucknut extrovert.

New Irish comics

Wahey! Received a few great comics from my Irish peeps this week. My main man Phil Barrett who's now living in Canada sent me these and Jolien Hampson lashed these over yesterday, cute little robots and chocolate covered burgers ahoy.




Jolien Hampson: Im 28 years old and I teach Animation in Colaiste Dhuligh,Raheny. I used to be a chef but decided to put all my energy into drawing Robots and other things that I thought were cool. Im a big fan of the movies Jaws and Superman....and think that I should of been a teenager in the 80s....also a big fan of 80s college movies. Talking Heads are my favourite band and when I get a chance I play the drums.

The Best way to fuck a liver

This is the first ranty post from my new fwend Brian........

The Best way to waste liver.

Choice A.

1. Buy a pound of liver from your local butchers.

2. Put it in a jam jar or any vessel that fits your personal requirements.

3 .Place it in the microwave for 40 seconds

4. Whilst checking the temperature with both fingers mould a crevasse that again, suits your personal requirements.

5. Finally, insert penis and FUCK.

Or Choice B.

Ok so George Best was one of the greatest players of all time etc. etc. and alcoholism is a serious disease and no joke, but some other poor cunt missed out on a liver operation just so that dipsomaniac Bestie could waste yet another liver. Does anyone else have any other George Best liver wastage points of view?

Supposedly George hasn’t had a drink in two months yet he’s going to beat this and he feels tough.

That’s the talk of someone who’s had a few.

Panda Z, Beijing 2008 Olympic mascots and the Lion King rip off


The mascots for the 2008 Beijing Olympics were unveiled recently. I think they look good but as soon as I seen them my rip-off alarm start tingling. Have you seen those ads for 3G with little cute panda bear character? Complete rip off of Panda Z, a Japanese animated sensation, and JingJing, one of the Beijing mascots is also a little close to the Z-man.

But I cant see the Japanese creators pursuing and legal recourse considering Disney raped the nation in the ear with the Lion King and no action was taken. For the un-nerdy or uninitiated, Disney's Lion King is a DIRECT COPY of manga god's Osamu Tezuka comic and animated series
Jungle Taitei.

The evidence is absolutley damning, check these out. Look at the evil lion with scar over his eye in the Tezuka version compared with the 'Scar' character from Disney. Coincidence?


Theres loads of decent sites where this is better explained. Disney are a pack of theiving wankers.
