Sue Storm by Adam Hughes

When I’m surfing online I’m always on the lookout for blog fodder.  And when I find something interesting I toss it in one of a bunch of folders on my desktop.

Recently when I was cleaning out the Comics/Pinups folder, I noticed a bunch of images of Sue Storm (AKA the Invisible Woman), so I thought that this month, once a week, I’d post a different artist’s rendition of (apparently) one of my favorite comics characters.

Today is Adam Hughes:

What I love about this is how painterly it is. And for as still as the subject is, you can see and feel the sure-handedness and speed of its creation.

Tune in next Thursday for Bruce Timm’s Sue Storm!

Cartoons About Computers

andertoons

There’s just something about computers that make me laugh. There’s a lot of great material, crazy new jargon almost daily, and, when things don’t work as we’d like, I think we can all sympathize with wanting to throw the darned things out the window.

Here’s a few computer cartoons that I like that I thought I’d share:

Honestly I think I understand about 0.2% of what what Excel can do. Occasionally I’ll have to dig into functions beyond the norm, but it’s always with a fair amount of trepidation. Also, I always end up triple checking the results with a calculator, so I don’t know why I bother.

It seems like everywhere I look anymore almost everyone has free Wi-Fi. Sure, the coffee shop is to be expected, but my grocery store? The dry cleaners? My barber has it now, but I just don’t see myself typing away on my computer while getting my hair cut. When pretty much everybody has it, it’s no longer a selling point.

Ah, dot matrix printers. There was just something hypnotic about watching them work. And that sound… Way more fun that today’s boring old laser printers. (I think my computer still misses our old one.)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this small collection of cartoons about computers. Head on over to the main site if you’d like to see more of my computer cartoons.
