Bionic Bigfoot - The Horror!

Ok, I said I WASN'T going to do this today, but I find myself with no other option.

Black Canary, Fishnets and Bionic Bigfoot.

Last week here at Drawbridge, we tried an experiment. On Monday, we sent out a list of topics for the whole week to our gang of contributors, in order to allow some folks extra time to psyche themselves up for a particular topic. I can't say it was a particularly successful endeavor-- we didn't get any more contributions than we would have normally (with all the extra prep time, I didn't even come up with anything for "Gag cartoon"), and additionally, with the untimely passing of Dwayne McDuffie, what was originally intended to be last Friday's topic, "fishnets", got bumped to today, Monday.

Tim Hamilton, whose obsession with Sasquatches is both well-documented and troubling, forgot that the topic for today was meant to be "fishnets" and instead drew the bionic Sasquatch from the old, old, old Six Million Dollar Man show. He and Simon Fraser posted their competing themes near simultaneously this morning, resulting in chaos and widespread destruction.

In an attempt to broker peace between these two warring factions, I decided to combine the two themes into a drawing that, like any compromise, leaves neither side happy or satisfied. I give you, fishnet-clad superheroine Black Canary vs. the Bionic Sasquatch:

Did you know that Andre the Giant played the bionic Bigfoot? I did not.

Bionic Big Foot

An unforgettable image from my childhood was the moment (From the 1976 third season episode of the Six Million Dollar Man) when Steve Austin tore the arm off of Bigfoot. Not knowing that Big Foot was ALSO bionic, I thought for just a split second that Steve had ripped off Big Foot's actual flesh and blood arm! I freaked out for a moment.

Anyway. We all loved Big Foot in the 70's.
Whatever happened to him?

The original space sasquatch

Tim snuck in the sneaky weekend Drawbridge topic of "space sasquatch" this weekend, when he thought nobody was watching his sneaky ways. Not so fast, Mr. Sneaks!

He also lamented that "space sasquatch" was the cartoon he always wanted, but never got, as a kid. Well he may not have had a cartoon, but he did have mother-flippin' Chewbacca in the movies! Here's my very quick doodle of the original space sasquatch and his pet sidekick, Indiana Jones.

Space Sasquatch

I'm working today so when I got up I did do a warm up sketch
even though the weekends are
post free for the most part on Drawbridge.

If any one wants though, um... this is the theme I guess.

"Space Sasquatch" it the cartoon I was hoping they made when I was eight.
But they never did...

WTF

Simon wanted Saturday to have the theme of "WTF" for some reason.
Thus, I give you sketches from my new children's book, WTF?
