Everyone's Favorite Son of Mogh

Hot take: Worf was basically the Rachel of Star Trek. 

Murder Penguins

     I've been geeking out about doing these for some time now and finally got around to it. Here are the characters from one of my favorite board games, Clue, in the way they were never intended... as penguins.

But hey... so what?

Mario & Luigi Trading Cards: Pack 1

It's been 35 years since the North American release of the classic Nintendo game, Duck Hunt!

     And even more momentous than that, it's the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. as well! I thought it'd be fun to imagine an animated series based on the beloved video game... well... besides that one... or that one... I thought it'd be fun to imagine ANOTHER animated series based on the beloved video game, and one that comes with a coordinating line of trading cards.

Here's the first wave, front and back. Stick around to collect them all!

Duck-Blur

     As I said in a previous post, I wanted to do a multi-point presentation over why I love the DuckTales reboot as much as I do. I wanted to go into lengthy detail into all the ways it pays homage to the original series, as well as the Carl Barks comics, while simultaneously expanding on these pre-established concepts in order to construct a new and seamless universe that's entertaining for new and old fans alike. I wanted to talk about how in a sea of reboots and remakes, DuckTales actually takes risks and feels fresh, rather than just copying what came before beat for beat.

     I wanted to do all of this... but instead, I decided to convey my love for the series through a barrage of fan art.

Drawing is my love language.

Jellicles Can

     Thanks to the recent film, trashing the Andrew Lloyd Weber's Cats has become pretty commonplace, which I think means we won't be seeing any other adaptations of the musical anytime soon. I haven't seen the film yet, but the theatrical production is greatly appreciated in our household, and so I find this fact a little depressing.

     I decided to cheer myself up by giving some of the characters a toony new look and hoping they get another chance sooner rather than later.

Zeffer, Zoofus, & Bud

     Back when I made my Disneyland Smidgeons, I came up with these three little guys loosely based on Sleeping Beauty's Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. I liked them so much that I decided to give them each their own book.

Right Down the Middle of Main Street USA

     If I was able to work anywhere in the Disney parks, (my Disney Dream Job, if you will) I would choose to be one of the colorful, fun-loving citizens of Main Street USA. These wonderful people roam the entrance of Magic Kingdom singing songs and greeting guests as they make their way into the park. I love how these characters aren't from any film or franchise, but they're there nonetheless, with no other purpose than to spread joy. Just one of the many things that makes it the most magical place on Earth!

     Since Walt Disney World officially reopens its doors today, I thought I'd commemorate the occasion with a little tribute to these Pals from the Park... beginning with the late great Mayor Weaver!
