Well guys, it's finals week and I felt it was about time I take a study break and draw another cartoon. I can't believe how much I've missed doing this! I've been taking an online cartooning course from a very famous Spanish cartoonist this fall but it was nice to break away from the curriculum ( I got a 92 on the final for that course by the way). The dreaded Rhetoric final is tomorrow so wish me luck and pray for me.
So y'all are probably wondering what I've been up to this past semester. Basically, I went to work Mon-Thurs part time at a local paper, went to school Mon-Fri, did my homework on the weekends (hardly ever got to go home because of that) :( , fulfilled my duties as historian of our school's Asian culture club, pledged a sorority, tore my hair out from all the stress and lost a lot of sleep. I do have to say that it has been worth it. I can finally graduate in the spring and then hopefully head to graduate school in the fall at a rather prestigious school of government at a big shot Texas university. I still have to fill out all the paper work and take the GRE but I believe I can get it all done by the deadline (I hope).
Enough of my rambling, let's get to the cartoon.
I honestly don't remember much about Evel Knievel, only that he jumped a bunch of stuff on his motorcycle and nearly killed himself in the process most of the time, I guess his popularity was more of a 1970's thing. There weren't very many of these cartoons made, mostly because all the cartoonists were drawing about the Iran intel and making the Bush Admin look like a bunch of war mongerers. Typical.
Is anybody going to the movies this month or next? I'm reluctant to see "I Am Legend" because it looks kinda frightening. In this film Will Smith plays a military scientist who is "the last man on earth" surviving in NY after a virus turns every human being on the planet into ravenous vampire-like creatures. I'm reluctant to see a film called "One Missed Call" for the same reason, but at the same time it looks pretty cool. "One Missed Call" is an Americanized version of a Japanese thriller called "Chakushin Ari," which means that it's in the same vein as "The Ring" and "The Grudge." The premise is several people get a voicemail message and hear how they die. I'll put a link to the trailer at the bottom. A film I definitely plan to line up and see is "Cloverfield," which is produced by J.J. Abrams of "Lost" and is about a giant monster that attacks New York. This film has caused a lot of hubbub because you only get a little glimpse of the monster in the trailer and people have been speculating what the monster is. I'll put a link to this trailer too. If you guys have any suggestions of good movies coming out let me know.
One final warning to you guys. I'll be heading home soon and won't have access to my computer until probably after New Year's, so sorry but this might be it for now. I want to thank everybody for y'all's support as I try and finish school. God bless y'all and have a Merry Christmas!
