What’s this? I managed to get 2 pages done in the same month? That’s what I call progress. I tried to come up with some kind of heroic exclamation for Samuel as he leapt from the cave, something classic like Superman’s “up, up and away!” or the Sub Mariner’s “Imperious Rex!” but the only thing I could think of was him once again exclaiming that he was too old to jump out of caves, like say “…too old!”, but that wasn’t all that heroic so I just left him exclamation-less…for now.
I’ve added this new Samson coloring page to the Dowloads section. I was approached by a fellow about doing a life of Samson coloring book but, unfortunately, things fell through. This unused sketch was just laying around otherwise, so I inked it up added some text and here it is for someone’s coloring pleasure.
After a prolonged battle with cancer my mother has passed away. Except for this webcomic I, more or less, stopped living my life to help take care of her, alongside my father. Watching my mother die a slow, dwindling death these past 18 months has been a kind of living nightmare, a bad dream I was unable to wake up from. Yet, she’s free now, free from her broken body, at rest and restored before her Lord.
Despite the hardship and heartache of it all I would do it again. My mother needed me. I didn’t shirk my responsibility, didn’t force others to fulfill my task. I did my duty as a both a son and as a man.
I find that I have thousands upon thousands of words and yet I have none. My mother has gone to meet her Maker and I return to my life, battle scarred and weary but hopeful as well. A new chapter in my life begins.
I face it willingly.
This trailer for the new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released recently. In it a character, who may or may not be Darth Maul’s brother, is introduced with the utterly ridiculous name of Savage Oppress. Now, the Star Wars universe is already filled with a host of horrible names that sound like baby’s first words, Dooku, Boba, Jar Jar, so what happens when they actually have to put some effort into naming a big, important bad guy? ..Savage Oppress?! Really? That’s obvious “character naming by thesaurus”.
I can use a thesaurus too. Here’s a list of other would-be Star Wars bad guys.
Harsh Murderous- A Gungan murderer who’s goal in life is to wipe out his whole race. He receives a massive amount of unsolicited donations supporting his cause.
Brutal Severe- Going against the pacifist ways of his people this Ithorian assassin kills his marks with crushing blows of his head upon theirs, forever earning his people the nickname of “hammerheads”.
Cruel Noxious- A savage Wookie bounty hunter who’s infamous stench is more dreaded than his raking claws.
Gory Harass- A pushy Rodian thug well known for the oozing sores upon his body rather than his skills as a fighter.
Nefarious Dire- This former Twi’lek dancer escaped her master to become a ruthless hunter of…escaped Twi’lek dancers.
Rude Callous- A former protocol droid turned ill-mannered mercenary and complainer.
E’vilo Deviltry- An Ewok warlord driven mad by fleas and endless tribal warfare with a conquering eye aimed to the stars above.
You can have those for free Lucasfilm, give your thesaurus guy the day off..
I’ve added a sparkly new “downloads” page. Right now I have posted there 6 Heroes of the Bible coloring pages that have been very popular for me lately. Eventually I’ll have some Saga of Samuel wallpapers available and whatever else I can come up with. Click the menu bar above or just go here.
Almost as much as I’m looking forward to this game..
I think your geek credentials get revoked if you’re not interested in at least one of these games.
