A Drawing Contest of Sorts
“I think a good 25% of my mythical beasts are based off Hanna Barbera characters. And I don’t have a problem with that…” – I have a hard time imagining that anyone (who’s not just a dick) would have a problem with that, I mean Wally did have that crazy chanting rhyme to start his theme…wallygatoristhegreatestnavigatorintheswamp… I mean change “swamp” to “bronx” and you’re gold… plus it could be way weirder they could be all Garfield based
Yes! The most thorough of all disguises! The Groucho glasses! My what a big nose you have Old Uncle Coty! And I’m starting to notice something else… much like when someone else cooks a dinner you usually make… scribbly hair lines always look better if someone else makes em!
Whoa Orko! As my friend Rocco always says… “hey it’s 1999, loosen up!” (it’s funny cause its way past 1999 you see)… meanwhile you know in this universe Battlecat is wearing two day old stubble and smells suspiciously of possum wine!
Aaawwwww! That is a damn fine axe headed snoopy! And while it was totally one of my favorite things as a kid, I oddly remember the strip as kind of sad, but “good grief” is a punchline that will work forever! Also, good to see my buddy Cody back in a drawing!
Holy hell! That is about the cutest really bad idea I have seen in a while! And since I’ve had a couple of seemingly predestined friends like this, in my mind, even if we were to stop him from testing this armor out, he’d find an equally dangerous idea to try… so let’s hope he just gets winged!
Judge’s Commentary – Simply put, you know it was probably someone who dressed up as some stupid alien or as a prank just to get his or hers point across that people are easily deceived in a funny manner! The use of the aluminum foil for the tiny detail sealed the deal.
Hueeeeey! Noooo! Man my mom, my drummer and Patrick Bateman are all going to be pretty torn up about this! Dammit if that’s not a pretty entertaining portrayal of our soon to be much dimmer star! Especially that lil grabber hand!
Is it ever too soon to walk on the wild side? I’m gonna say that’s kinda the point of doing it… though I think, were it not for the heroin needle to confirm the newly dead identity, it looks like you came dangerously close to cursing Jeff Goldblom to death! ; )
Dammit! it’s not often that a submission makes me think i think I have to redraw before i scan… And by no means a slight on the beautiful, perfectly pink and loving portrayal of our Slim Jim saviour, and the high corner of the cage jumping, Sarasota living, younger brother of the one, the only, Leaping Lanny Poffo!… Three cheers for Downers Grove! Ha!
– It’s hard to picture a manlier water spirit than the deep sea legend of the “Macho Merman” …some say that you can even hear his signature “Oooh yeah!” if you listen closely enough to the conch shell’s trailing sigh
“All the dude wants to do is get to the game… But that damn freeway!!!” – Ooh, channeling a lil Wesley this week with the crazy horizontal line shading And the hatred of public transit! I almost wanna play wrong about the Cincinnati logo, but look how lovingly that stadium is portrayed, it’s like freaking gates of heaven!
Finally! Some Jackyl lyrics! And something about the godlike straight faced presentation that makes it so much better! And Goddamn that is a mother of a chainsaw! It looks like one of those motorbikes someone put a V8 in just cause they can.
Yes! The early Beast may get the mug! And dammit if this hasn’t given me a case of the monday morning giggles. Not sure if it’s the upholstery patterned snake neck or the ridiculous weight of the same, or maybe it’s just the caption… regardless thanks.
The number one beast the beast that made me chuckle the most was beast #1. The over exaggerated anaconda neck and head got me right away. It is no wonder these mythical beasts are not seen any longer considering evolution did not really work in their favor.
Ha! Dude’s got a reasonably good point, and not to lessen how frigging good the actual Wulgaru is what with his record crate construction, little Bender arms and bird heavy, twiggy facial growth… But that walrus-kangaroo hybrid is going to make me laugh for days!
I don’t understand the joke he is making but that saber tooth otter is adorable!
The most murderous red capped dwarf around… Ha, you know I don’t know if it’s the house or what but this one feels very Scooby Doo’s celebrity cameo to me, which ain’t a bad thing. And I notice you didn’t give him hachets so as not to upset the juggalos out there.
You know that is a pretty damn nice fit! I’d say something about the benefits of the lessened drag in the water but my guess is the fisherman’s boots will probably counteract that pretty quickly. And credit where credit is due, rumor has it this was drawn on a bus on an interstate trip and A. the perspective in the mirror is still right on and B. your dedication is commendable!
Yesss! the ol’ switcheroo! and with a self referential caption even! Now i suppose one could argue for the metaphor created by placing the pain giving piece of the bee, directly where lady parts are, but I’m gonna run the other way with it and just imagine how weird it would be if this beast still went around trying to sting with what it has now…
I bet you will, you little adorable, towely voiced mushroom man! And don’t ask me why but i will always love a boneless limb like the ol’ baggy waving jobby on the right, and my brain can’t quite decipher if that’s all top lip or if there’s a long skinny nose in there too which sorta makes it all the better!
Blood indeed my buck toothed and rat furred little friend! I’m a huge fan of the giant rabbit eye that says both “yes I thirst for blood but I also enjoy dainitily nibbling clovers”! Great tiny horns, though I will add he looks a touch decapitated.
The sheer honesty of a hard days work!
Bully Batsquatch alert! I’m torn that’s a pretty fantastic Batsquatch and he’s got funny exposed bits great sideburns and a pretty outstanding tail… but I’m kinda falling in love with that freaking cow!
Yesss beasts in jean shorts making a triumphant return! I mean what better way to celebrate the night away at the “Oyester” then in shortened jeans and no shirt! I’m especially fond of the hanging pockets and his forearms are ridiculous, there’d be no keeping him from rescuing his kid or truck if both depended on his arm wrestling prowess!
Man I love the hard edge of light that only a cartoon flashlight can provide! Big fan of the single substance thought bubble. And i like there’s at least someone else in the world that can’t draw treasure without including a crown or two!
Cool with drool! Who knows how long this Fucanglong is but man, it’s fierce!
“sometimes they just write themselves!” God damn grape tootsie roll pops were like my favorite thing as a kid, been forever since i’ve had one and now they have lil tiny ones that totally dont even require the full owl-science proven three licks. Kinda funny how good Woody or a Woody like character looks with owl eyes.
I like the Tootsie Owl/Woody combo and the verbiage, I can hear their voices in my head when I read it.
Such a gloriously heavy piece… you can almost taste the loss! This is the second version with added CMYK noise for a solid reference to reality, I think I’m a fan of it pre noise which you can see here . Whichever you prefer it’s pretty damn good!
Being old as hell I’m always complaining how expensive it is to drink now days, maybe the solution isn’t cheaper drinks but just getting a f*ck of a lot smaller! This guy seems ripped on one! And those are some adorably green pants!
Alright so “BooKawk” got me pretty good, and I don’t know if a torsoless T dripping T juices and phrases could ever be unfunny. Good varied textures and I love the little bubbles.
Improper spelling still funny! And quite a nice little drumstick icon. So question… if someone made a delicious molded ice cream treat that looked like that, would you eat it? I would.
Sweet a straight up case of humorous mistaken identity! Huge points for his old timey bare knuckle fisted stance, high waisted briefs, good complete captioning and oddly looking a lot like my dog, Gir, if he had giant merman ears!
This is definitely a Long Wang I don’t want to fuck with. If all the dudes in Gwar were to bang Greta (the lady gremlin from Gremlins 2) this Long Wang would be the result.
I think this is closest to what i imagined in my head when i first heard the name. And dammit if i don’t love a nicely drawn flannel shirt! Plus you gotta love a reasonably accurate vanishing point.
Not only is this a super cool pic, it also captures what I believe the Goatman looks like. He does need some horns tho!
Full transparency this ones our judges work, so if he wins… well technically i dont think i ever established that rule… so we’ll just smash the mug and share the pieces! Those armpit snakes are f’ing awesome though.
Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are. Iron Maiden’s gonna get you, no matter how far. See the blood flow. Watching it shed. Up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead. All I’ll add is yeeessss!
And the award for crazy assed, plum eating, set my son on fire Santa goes to this one! Plus it gets points for the most properly lolling tongue and it’s a highlander reference, which reminds me of mario van peebles, which makes me laugh.
Mr Shirilla, just pounding the competition the last few weeks, possibly just because he just has more friends than you, but I like to think it’s his faux necronomicon paper!
Ha! and so close to new years, you’re going to accidently trigger all the folks in resolution nicotine withdrawls to get unnaturally angry with you! Now if he could just turn into a new cigarette instead of a bird! Very nice ashtray btw!
So more than anything I’m hoping that on the flipside of Men At Work is Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” album. Damn clean sammich slices for a beast I cant stop seeing an extra face on his torso with some sweet assed nipple eyes
If that censor bar is accurate that is in fact quite the vorpal blade, such good feet and such a skeezy vest! and are those nipples actually glossy? My only complaint would be that given the story he originated in, perhaps he should have a red heart or some other evil card suit tattooed on his forehead vs the swastika… but hey maybe in the land behind the looking glass you don’t get to pick your jailhouse tats?
Ha! I have no idea how your mind went there, but I’m kinda glad it did… I haven’t decided if my favorite part is that good ol’ Florence hasn’t changed a bit in this rendition or if it’s that soft, possibly touched, young bobby Pukwudgie.
Man points for dotted bullet lines, captioned fart noises, giant nostrils and tank inclusion! Those awkward hands are fantastic And is he doing the walk of a 1950s -60s era toy robot?
I can just hear this beast making the fake robot noises of a mentally-challanged Muppet ™. When you tie that together with a Godzilla-style showdown you know what you have? A winner…that’s what you have. A tip of my hat to the artist.
Quoting the artist “Somehow I forgot arms or side fins. Oops! Maybe the nicotine helps him swim? Or maybe he swims like shit…” See I was thinking the body style from entry # 1 had already become the norm. I love the polka dots, that tail is kind of brilliantly finned and if you tilt your head he kinda looks like he’s trying to poop.
This one’s submitted from the road, so just wanted to mention that I appreciate the commitment : ). Part Jawa, part real world Brownie and I swear part Orko… so good, but I really want a close up of those merit badges!
Hey that’s not an eagle at all! Though given his father’s personality, I’m betting he considers himself part “king of the birds”! I like that the pink reads nude. And I love the inclusion of the hatchet for the ICP vote!
Hey ya aint cool if you don’t pee your jeans! I like to think the 40 has leaked a bit himself in solidarity with his Ill loved partner. And it’s funny with his mood so soured my brain instantly wants to read his sash as “stupid”
You know for as much energy there is in the lines, there’s something remarkably laid back about this one, and the captioning is in my opinion top notch. Love the ice cream bar inclusion and not a bad penguin either!
