#170: The Totally Tubular Twimbley

My March-through-May busyness hype has caused me to kinda fail on making the Multiverse series as spectacular as I wanted, but I think the sheer '80sness of the following makes up for it. Ladies and gentlemen, the Totally Tubular Twimbley! One little-known fact about #75: The Magnificent Twimbley is that from the 1910s to when the ol' Mythlihood came and got him to join them, he was frozen in a hyperfridge property of the government in Washington D.C. But, in Dimension 854, his reawakening came a little earlier. Like, 1980-something earlier. In this radical version of reality, the natty raisin genius found himself in a world of Goonies and ghost-devouring yellow guys. At first, he was confused big time. But once he saw the scientific achievement of the Back to the Future hoverboard and found his distant family, the California Raisins, he was sold. With his new '80s look and a fancy accent rivaling that of Bowie, the Totally Tubular Twimbley fit right in. I promised a moonwalking mutant. I think I delivered.

AN ALBUM COVER

Ladies and gentlemen, the official cover of Oz Complex's first Earth-released album, An Album, featuring a track and coming soon to a store.

#169: Oz Complex

(Left to right: Melvin McGuiness Mink, Leopold Sugerhamm, "RedBrick" Roadington, and Grundley.)

I would like to clarify that this is my busiest time of the year, so I'm not able to post as much. I am still just as committed to the blog as ever, though. Also, Doug is becoming more popular than me on Twitter somehow. This is the bear that once thought RT stood for rock troll, how did this happen?! Anyway, here are my new characters: Oz Complex! #1 on the Emerald City Hot 100. Toured everywhere over the rainbow.  Now, they've come here. They are Oz Complex, a cappella band of bite-sized bros that has swept the nation of Oz. Now, with more people off to see them than the Wizard himself, the wildly winding yellow-brick road of fame has led them here. Their first Earth-released album, An Album, is coming soon - and when it hits, the US is bound to eat them up. Hopefully not for real. It has happened before. They can be mistaken for small fruits.

I'M ALIVE.

Attention: I am sorry that I have not posted in so long! I was somewhat sucked into the black hole of Twitter, along with working on the story-wise production of my NightOwl show (which I still would like to hear your feedback on, by the way!). Rest assured, a new post will be coming in a matter of a day or two. And it will involve moon-walking mutants. Until then, a plethora of home-made memes.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, FOLKS!!!

Hey, everybody. I've got some big news. I know I've always said that Zowie Cowy would be coming soon as my first animated project. Well, I'm sorry to say it's being somewhat pushed off. But for a very good reason. I am making a proclamation: NightOwl is coming to the YouTube screen! That's right, the husky hero in a child's zip-up mask hoodie is getting his own self-titled cartoon, coming as soon as I finish the school year and get comfortable with Toon Boom. I would describe the series as a fantastically small-scale superhero tale taking place in San Juan Soso, California. If any of you need to brush up on ol' Mitch Turley, click here for his post. Get ready, my people. The owl is taking flight!

#168: The GaurdiYums of the Galaxy

Wondercon is coming soon and I'm getting ready for the geeky extravaganza. If you're going on Saturday and you spot a strangely tall kid in a Star Lord getup, it's this guy *points thumbs at thyself*. Speaking of Guardians, here is a brand new Food Wars spinoff for you fellow Marvelites: the GaurdiYums of the Galaxy! In the same galaxy where Luke Piewalker once brought balance to the Light Side of the Forks, a new story has begun. With the diabolical doughy psycho, Sconan the Accuser, and the power-hungry Pepsi, Canos, on the hunt for the Orb, the Galaxy - especially the good planet of Xandairy - is in need of saving. Such good timing for a scrumptious squad of heroes like this one to be founded . . . whether it's members like it or not. Here we have Star Gourd, a leather-sporting spacedude and member of the Ravegetables; Gummora, the chewy child of Canos and a sugary assassin; Rocket Snackoon, a cookie creature with more anger packed into him than birds in a turducken; Stax the Destroyer, the deadliest cheddar cheese chip you will ever come across in your life; and Root, Rocket's radish roadie who, well, is Root. As he tells them. Constantly. After bringing an end to the rottenness of Sconan, the GaurdiYums travel the stars, doing things sweet, sour and a little bit of both. While grooving to Sausome Mix Vol. 1, of course. ♪Iiiiiiiiiii'm cooked on a feelin'!♪

#167: Incredible NightOwl (Dimension 829)

                     CLICK TO ENLARGE
Today is the biggest episode yet of Gravity Falls. I am so psyched for this! "It's happening! The end times!" -Old Man McGucket. Anywhosers, time to start off the Multiverse event with one of my favorite old characters o' mine: NightOwl (Incredible NightOwl, that is)! Remember #116: The Mythlihood? The Doom-Lord-fighting powerhouse of a superhero group? Well, in our dimension, the group consists of Zowie Cowy, SkyStar, The Magnificent Twimbley, etc. But in Dimension 829, there's one slight alteration in the roster. That's right. NightOwl. The portly vigilante justice guy who listens to synthesized '80s jams and who's hideout is Walmart, has moved up to the big leagues here. Now equipped with a swanky pair of built-in wings and his own theme song that isn't ripped off from Herby Hancock, Mr. Big Bird on Campus is fighting ol' ZOO'OZ alongside the cow and her posse. He's even got his own hideout, the Owl-Nest! It's got bean bag chairs, gummy worms and a big stash of those packs of gum and tabloids they put at the Walmart checkout. Life is good in the Mythlihood.

BAD-OFF VIII: VACUUM VS. VACUUM

I've gotta say, I've been waiting for this Bad-Off pairing for a long time. Iiiin this corner, we've got a vacuum! Iiiiin the other corner, we've got another vacuum! It's a sucking showdown, folks! A Dustbuster duel! Some dirt-fighting fisticuffs!! Now that I'm done going on an alliteration rampage, get voting, folks!

#166: Finn Dangerment

I am currently writing this while grooving to the soundtrack that I have assembled for an indie movie I will be making one day. The film will remain nameless to you, the public, but the soundtrack includes Will.i.am and a band of animated guys named after a large primate. Anyway, now on to something that sounds much more normal (maybe): Finn Dangerment! He's a golden retriever for more than one reason, folks. That's right. He's a treasure hunter. Adventurer, global galavanter, furry fetcher of priceless knickknacks, etc. Whatever name you give him, Finn is the best in the bizz, and certainly the only one who gets paid in Iams. Whether it's the Amulet of Poochywoochy or Mansa Musa's ancient trousers, this Raider of the Lost Bark always gets what he's searching for. He and Snowy from The Adventures of Tintin are both part of the Dog Adventurers Guild. They have frisbee nights on Fridays.
