Otter Disaster #11: Kenyon Arrives

Made in honor of my good friend Kenyon's arrival at Bitstrips:

...and here is Kenyon's first strip:

Slash 'N' Otter's Curious Keywords #3 - Cancelled

Quark on DVD

I posted about the sci-fi comedy Quark, last year about this time, and now it's coming out on DVD. Matthew will be thrilled...

Fossett Faked Death?

Today on the radio, I heard somebody talking about the possibility that Pilot Steve Fossett faked his own death. That reminded my of a weird conpiracy theory that I posted about on September 7th of last year.

Link to original theory at RMN.

Coincidence? Stay tuned.

Slash 'N' Otter's Curious Keywords

Slash 'N' Otter's Curious Keywords is a new strip of mine on Bitstrips inspired by a very, very short series of radio shows(two, maybe three?) I did with Matthew during college, where all the song titles played during the show contained a 'keyword'. We called it Slash and Otter's Keyword Dance Party. The old Ripley's Believe It Or Not! strips provided the remaining inspiration.
Episode #1 Keyword - Paper:



Episode #2 Keyword - Meat:

Otter Disaster #10: Pop Culture Strikes Back

This sequel to the ever popular OD strip 'Pop Culture Reference' is actually the 10th episode of the series, but due to a quirk in how I published it, it is numbered #9 on the bitstrips site while the previous strip, 'The Name of the Game' is numbered #10.

Otter Disaster #9: The Name of the Game

June has been a busy month, but found some time for a bitstrip today:

Death's Punderful Career Path

I built a reaper in Bitstrips and, with some help from Mrs. Disaster, wrote this strip:

Otter Disaster #8: Spelling Lesson

Bitstrips: Iron Maiden's Eddie!

Just to see how it would turn out, I built Iron Maiden's Eddie in Bitstrips. I then decided to create a Bitstripped version of the Number of the Beast album cover. Then I did Piece of Mind, Killers and yesterday I did the cover for Iron Maiden's 1980 self titled release:









Those are the easy ones. With Bitstrips' somewhat limited props, and poses, I'm going to have to get super creative to do Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, 7th Son of a 7th Son and beyond. Stay tuned...

Hands on my Missle!

Missle Command is one of my all-time favorite video games, so this is the coolest thing I've seen today:



I wish I had one of these in my living room.

Otter Disaster #7: Real Bum Signs

100K on my K-I-A

My 2000 Kia Sportage turned over 100,000 miles on my way home from work today. It might not have been the best idea to take a camera phone photo at 60 mile per hour on Interstate 225, but that was when the moment occurred:



It's amazing how giddy you get when all those nines roll away to reveal that one followed by all those zeroes.

More on the Kia and some of my other cars HERE.

Good News: Spaced on DVD

14 episodes (the complete series) of the totally awesome British comedy Spaced, are finally going to be released on DVD.

Speculation is that this is being done in advance an (ill-advised, in my opinion) American remake ala The Office.

If you liked Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, then Spaced will be right up your alley.

I can't wait.

Otter Disaster #6: Doggone

Based on a true event. . .

Otter Disaster #5: NFL or LSH?

I changed my Blogger template to accomodate the full Bitstrip/Image as opposed to the embedded player. I just think comics should be seen in context with all the panels in their proper place...

Otter Disaster #4: Pop Culture Reference

Vampire Boogie: Angel Gets Down and Funky

Posted for Mrs. Disaster who really loves her some Angel:

Prepare to Laugh: a List of the 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time

Nerve.com and IFC have compiled a list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time Lists like this are always subjective, there are Carol Burnett sketches I prefer over 'Went With the Wind'(#22)for instance, but all in all a good sampling of great sketches.

'$240 Worth of Pudding'(#47) was a source of much joy for me and friend Lee during our college years. I could often be heard saying, ". . .and I'm Barry, Sagittarius."
