Mixed metaphors

Now, I don't wanna give too much away... but in the cartoon after the next cartoon, I have an overly mixed metaphor. There are a group of characters that protect the "Universal Economy," against intergalactic threats. They are a bit of a parody of the "Guardians of the Universe," from DC comics.

In the original script, they are more of a mix of the 7 dwarves and the Guardians. However, I started drawing them this Sunday, while John McLaughlin's voice was still ringing in my ears...and the leader ended up looking like the former priest turned talk-show mediator.

Then I ended up drawing the other "Guardians" as other Sunday talk-show moderators.

It does not make much sense, but it made me smile. Also, it gives them good voices for the voice actors to try and mimic.

The caricatures need a bit of work...but see if you can name them.

Speaking of weird; saw Chuck Norris this weekend.

I had a 4 hour Kung-fu seminar, and afterwards got some tickets from our teacher to go see the World Combat League, which is owned by Chuck Norris, who was in the crowd. It was pretty fun, then afterwards Mandy and I had a great meal at Cafe Jezebel here in Austin.

I'm off to read a little before bed, Mandy and I have been reading Fiasco by Tom Ricks recently, which has been pretty good.
