When the student is ready…

Witchcraft, Aqua Buddhas… this campaign season has been like something torn out of J. K. Rolling’s Moleskine. But if you have been wondering  where the spirit will come from  from to roll back the Tea Bag tsunami, now estimated to yield 70+ seats for the Republicans in the Senate and one to six million House seats, the New York Gubernatorial campaign has brought forth our champion: Jimmy McMillan.
Man of the Year Jimmy McMillan

McMillan, a Vietnam vet and social activist has run long-shot campaigns for mayor of New York City and for governor against Mario Cuomo in 1994. He is now running for New York Governor on the “Rent is 2 Damn High” line. He has come to the public’s attention recently because of his impassioned (and hilarious) performance at the recent governor’s debate (wish I could find the complete video on line. If you can, send me a link), as well as the fact that he came off like Abraham Lincoln compared to the Republican’s official buffoon, Carl Paladino, who could barely sputter responses to simple yes/no questions about gay marriage and other sexy issues.

Visit McMillan’s website and you will realize that he is an earnest  man of the people, and probably bonkers. But he is the right kind of bonkers, and compared to what the establishment is running this year, he’s a breath of fresh New York City subway air. He’s got my vote.

Update: Jimmy McMillan is now a meme on the Internets! Woot!

Last chance… for DOOM!!!

Just to remind you fellows, my exclusive Gloom & Doom preorder sale ends this week. Your chance to own so much coolness, including comics, color sketches and exclusive Weapon Brown buttons will be gone, destroyed, turned to vapor by the end of the week! Don’t miss out! Please, I beg you!

I have also just added a new page to my Facebook armada: Weapon Brown’s Blockheads Pen Pals. This is themed as a fan page, where my updates will be in Chuck’s own voice and where your own input will structure its character. It is embryonic at the moment–no pictures or other whizbang. If this turns out to be a place that you people like to congregate, however,  you can expect it to grow and prosper. 

Anyway, visit the page and post your opinions. If you would like toi see this turn into an adjunct of the Weapon Brown experience, let me know what would make it cool and keep you coming back!

Helpful Blockhead Whovian, whose sharp instincts have earned him a promotion to Schroeder status, points out a poll taking place in one of the  Escapist forums for favorite best web strip. If you love me, drop some of that love into the forum! Word of mouth is a big help in growing my strip’s audience, and it’ll just make ya feel so good inside!

Separated at Mirth

My eyes do not seem to be working in tandem anymore. Everywhere I look I see double!

Let’s start with the latest revelation from the Magic 8-Ball that controls human destiny, a message I call Blockbuster DVD Rental Coverbox Doppleganger Terrorstorm!!!!

The Lightning Thief
  
Whatever Works
vs.

Behold the arc of a man’s life! We begin as fire-eating youths, the elements at our command and even the mighty temples celebrating Man’s dominion of the world dwarfed by the height of our ambition!! 

Then, as the the years beat down upon us and the elements rally, our pates shed their luxurious coats and succumb to the Sun’s cruel freckling. New York City rises back to shoulder level as our skeletons surrender to gravity’s yoke, and only our slovenly clothes survive to remind us of our evaporated youth.

Think of that the next time you shit the day away playing Assassin’s Creed.

But the above is hardly the only example of eerie duplication taking place all around us. The effect has reached even the highest level’s of Washington’s elite! Lately my telescreen has been filled with images of some modern-day Adonis, golden of skin and with eyes that command the weak to stay the fuck out of his way! Could he be some sort of Ayn Randian superman??

“Man-of-Bronze” Doc Savage

No, its just a Republican with a hard-on for gaining power in our nation’s semi-annual nod to public fickleness, aka “democracy”.

“Man of Bronzer” John Boehner

If this weren’t all creepy enough, it now appears that television shows about weird time warps may themselves be generating time warps!

This is the theory put forth in Stephen Hawking’s new book “A Brief History of  Cancelled Network Television Sci-Fi”, in which he demonstrates that a high-concept series involving distortions of the space/time continuum (such as 2009’s Flash Forward) can emerge at random from the quantum foam, lasting for a single season before disappearing from reality.

The “Flash Forward” Effect

Lost The Event

The ripples these series generate effects the entire time spectrum, leaving in their wake extremely popular shows in the past that run for years, such as Lost, while paradoxically generating anti-programs in the future like The Event, which last only half a season before converting into low-energy mid-season replacements starring John Larroquette as a body waxer.
