SPIDER-MAN STUFF WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT (COPYRIGHT, JACOB INC.)

     Here, my compadres, is some more concept art for the Spidey movie I'll be making in a bazillion years. Some Vulture for those of you who are yearning for a new villain, and some Gwen for those of you like me who are yearning for anything remotely Emma Stone. *sigh*

#178: Al Component: Robot Mobster

Jacob's Characterz: making something that's already threatening even more threatening. You're welcome, world.

     Hey guys, it looks like my sister-based character, The Mustache Ninja, is on Twitter now! Check her and all her iffy outlaw weirdness here. Now, on to my newest character: Al Component: robot mobster! In a world where time froze in the period of overall Gatsbyness know as the '20s, the people were split amongst factions. The largest of the factions, for example, chose to party. A lot. But while they were busy doing that, a smaller faction chose to put their noticeably large brains to work. Having literally all the time in the world, these thinkers could really get some crud done, the most impressive of this crud being the first-ever walking, talking robot. Man had big plans for these metallic beings that would greatly improve their frozen society. Unfortunately, man was overruled. Overruled by one singular android who felt the robots were better suited for, as the meme society would call it, thug life. His name was Al. Backed by an army of looting, ruff-you-up robots and armed with a legit Jersey accent, the King of Metal Mayhem was the face of crime in the Perpetual 1920s. Also, just so you know, that's not a real cigar. It's a miniature mind-wipe mechanism. When he says fuhgeddaboudit, he ain't kidding.

MORE FROM THE SPIDER-MAN FILM OF THE FUTURE! (COPYRIGHT, JACOB INC.)

     Now that Tom Holland has been confirmed for the role of Peter Parker, I can finally take a breather from my endless speculation . . . aaaand start working more on my own Spider-Man movie! I know. I'm a Marvelaholic. Just for the record, I can quite any time I want. Which is not now. Or tomorrow. Or ever. CONCEPT ART TIME, YO:

#177: Doctor Honker

(Portal testing sesh. Don't worry, they offer droid insurance these days.)

     Happy belated Father's Day, the ultimate least favorite day of Anakin Skywalker for 2 different reasons. Okay, to be honest, I'm totally surprised I've taken this long to make a standalone post from this guy. So, I've basically given him the Black Widow treatment so far. Until now! Ladies and gentlereaders, Doctor Honker and a bunch of other guys! These other guys happen to be called Honkdroids and Doctor Honker happens to be something called unstable. Residing in the futuristic mootopia Animaland, Simeon Fibbs Honker DHP has devoted his life to conquering faraway Earth and the humans that inhabit it. This guy means business. He had a quantum-crystal-powered staff. He had an army of 50 honkdroids. He had his own working portal. And in one fell swoop, Zowie Cowy left the do-badder hog with a staff without quantum crystals, an army of 39 honkdroids and his own broken portal. Like a boss. His metaphorical feathers now firmly in a bunch, Doctor Honker makes it his mission to track down the pink-and-purple hobo hero and take back the crystals he needs to power his apocalyptic raid on Earth. (You can catch this guy in full CG wonder when I one day make my epic Zowie Cowy film. There will be tacos.)

DRAWN TOGETHER: DAY OF BOOKINESS

     Today, the Overlords of Children's Graphic Novels ascended from the heavens above and gathered in the Walt Disney Concert Hall to share their infinite knowledge. And I was there. That's right, today I was at Drawn Together! I got to see the authors of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Timmy Failure, Captain Underpants, and Big Nate all in one fantastic day. So, as with all fantastic days, I will present the best moments in fabulous bullet-point format!

• Getting all the author's autographs. (Never, eBay. NEVER!)
• Finding out the guy talking about Star Wars I had just eavesdropped on in the row behind me was the author of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, Dan Santat!
• Seeing the reactions of the other authors when they found out Jeff Kinney's favorite movie is Ghost. Be who you want to be, Jeff. Don't let the haters stop you, man.
• Julie Bowen magically appearing out of nowhere!
• Getting insight into Dav Pilkey's war with monkeys. It's a long story.
• My mom finding out the actual pronunciations of Dav Pilkey and Lincoln Peirce.
• Being heavily inspired.
• Amassing a bookmark fortune.

My books will be marked for years to come! Years, I say!
