Movie Poster – Robert of Spilled Ink

Today’s Guest Cartoon Movie Poster comes from Robert Matejcek of Spilled Ink Cartoons. 

Spilled Ink is a quirky single panel cartoon that stars a guy named Robert, his wife Annabelle and their cat Dharma.  Funny thing is that Matejcek’s name is Robert, his wife is Annabelle and their cat is Dharma.  But all that is just a coincidence and any similarities of real situations in their lives is purely coincidental.

Robert, you are great and I won’t hold it against you that you are a Lebowski fan…dude!

Movie Poster – Aidan Casserly of Scapula

For the next several weeks I am taking a break.  So as part of my May Charity Challenge I asked for submissions of cartoonists to send a movie/tv poster if their characters replaced the actors.  I’ll be posting Sunday, Tuesday and Thursdays so check back and give the cartoonists the support you fail to give me.  haha. j/k.

First up is Aidan Casserly of Scapula fame.   Aiden describes Scapula as

SCAPULA is the story of the World’s Worst Villain…’worst’ in every sense of the word.  Scapula is a frustrated, downtrodden man in a somewhat-scary skeleton costume who fights to prove his worth to the world.  To do that he’ll have to stake his claim in the underworld, competing with the likes of other crazed super-villains, monsters, gangsters, lunatics and other troubled minds.  It’s going to be a tough trip.

I personally think Scapula is a cross between alien Spiderman and the Tick.  Typically I am not into long form comics but Aidan’s beautiful illustration work and potty humor keep things so entertaining that I have to stay updated.  You can too.  He posts every Sunday so check him out. 

Next up on Thursday is Robert of Spilled Ink

Editorial Cartoon: The Gore’s Divorce

It was shocking last week to learn that after 40 years, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper were finally calling it quits.  It just goes to show, you never know what people are going through. 

For the uninformed, since leaving office, Al has become the Poster Boy for Global Warming and back in the 80′s when Al was just a senator, his wife Tipper headed up the Parent’s Music Resource Center (PMRC).   Ultimately, their fight led to warning stickers on records and a Capitol Hill showdown with rockers including Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister.

Twelve-Way with Cheese Released

Cincinnati has a different way of serving up Chili.  Instead of the chunks of meat found in other cities around the globe, Cincinnati chili is ground fine (like taco meat size) and usually has cinammon or chocolate in the ingredients.  Moreover, it is served over thin spaghetti.  A 3-way is Chili, Spaghetti and Cheese.  A 4-way adds onions or beans and a 5-way adds both.  Different foods blended together to make a great meal.

Well now several of the regulars at the Cincinnati Illustrators Blog who get together weekly to exchange horror stories and share work have come up with a Twelve-Way.  No you can’t eat it.  This group of editorial cartoonists (no not me), greeting card and magazine illustrators, and animators have created a humorous anthology showcasing each of their work in off-beat ways.  And like its chili counterpart, it comes together as one great taste.   The stories are woven together by a Crypt Keeper of sorts (a zombified Marge Schott – the deceased outspoken former owner of the Cincinnati Reds).
