Dead people munching

This art is for an editorial about O-Bon.

My understanding is that it is a sort of Buddhist day of the dead. Relatives who have passed on follow a paper lantern trail to their families home and a place is set for them at the dinner table.

Since last session:

Last drink:
Beer at Six Flags on Saturday. Budweiser, roller coasters, sun, and some Walrus!

Read: Lots of comics!

Smoke and Guns, Story: Kirsten Baldock Art Fabio: Moon hh
I did not like this as much as I thought I would. Cigarette girls in French maid outfits in matrix like gun fights. Moon's art is sound, and well paced but not very sexy. The problem I think is that Baldock's story is all about sexiness nd without that it is just kind of some stuff that happens.

Dead West, Rick Spears and Rob G. hhhh
Cowboys versus Zombies!! How can you go wrong? No I am not kidding. Cowboays versus Zombies. It is really well done too. What moroe do you need to know? C-o-w-b-o-y-s V-e-r-s-u-s Z-o-m-b-I-e-s.


Rose Charles Vess and Jeff Smith hhh
Vess's art is very pretty and suits the Bone world well, but we already knew all of this went down. Fun to see the old members of the bone casts as teenagers, but I am sick of prequels.

Naruto Volume 6, Masahi Kishimoto hh
When he is on Kishimoto can do ninja battles like no other. When he is off, like the first half of this book, the fights become too elaborate and impossible to follow.
Towards the end when everyone is downed but one chacter, the story gains more focus.


Watched: War of the Worlds, Steven Spielberg hhh
Same plot as the book, though a different story. Does everyone remember the book is just a disaster story? An 'OMG what if aliens existed and they attacked our planet?!' kind of way. This does that well. I had trouble watching Tom Cruise and not thinking he is a crazy carazy man.


Listened to: HiHi PuffyAmy Yumi hh
Cotaining the songs from the Teen Titans, Scooby Doo too, and their own cartoon; I am about 20 years older than their target demographic. This is mostly the work of producer Andy Sturmer (of Jellyfish fame). He leads Ami and Yumi through many different styles of "popular American music." Results: even the few decent tracks end up sounding derivative.
