Some shadowline pimpin` and random videos

For those who share an interest in comics, aardvarks, murder mistery solving with a 20`s mob bosses feel to it, you should definetely check this out:

"

Archibald Saves Christmas, written by DWIGHT L. MACPHERSON (The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo) and illustrated by GRANT BOND.
















"I wanted this book to convey how real these characters felt and thought their world is. That their rundown world of black and white is becoming obsolete, color is slowly creeping in and most of them don't like it. Some would even kill to stop it!”

“[Grant] threw the ball on the parquet and we dribbled it up and down the court, passing back and forth until we came up with what we think is a very unique, disturbing and otherwise socially unacceptable book,” says Dwight. “I like to think of it as the bastard son of "Sin City" and "Roger Rabbit."

Shadowline President Jim Valentino adds, “This book is like Tex Avery turned up to 15 on a system that doesn’t go past ten! It is truly one of the most original and entertaining books I’ve ever published!”

ARCHIBALD SAVES CHRISTMAS carries a cover price of $3.50 and is due to hit stores the last week of November.

I'll tell ya the whacky feel of old cartoons really get me... and i love the way archibald looks simplified next to characters like rascal, reminds me of the Maus characters

Also, I was never really sure what and aardvark was so this time I asked god about it. I guessed it right, its africa's naked tamanduá. I used to live in a tamanduá way of life once, but that's another story...

anyways, congrats to Dwight and Grant for coming up with something so weird and lovely, and I must say i`m already sad it`s only a one shot.

Random stuff:


Personalized converses from argentina , I want one! actually, I should do one. I have a pair of red ones with the tips pencil-personalized, which is really cheap. I guess i would need some kickass expensive markers to do something decent... maybe ill give it a shot.

my official pimp Boo² came up with this really cute video from chemical brothers, which happens to be great for both sober and high trips:



and for the ladies enjoyment, the skating cowboys.



Ice skating always ranked high on my list of tacky tight assed sports like golf or ballet, but this video makes me wanna take lessons myself because it looks like so godamn FUN!

(Also I'm buying my man the skates and the hat pronto..)
