My tree is up and trimmed and hopefully has been spared from any kitty exploration (Harry's actually pretty good about Christmas trees as opposed to when he was a kitten). It's a busy week for all, especially with so many of us actually being able to gather again. So how's about we skip the small talk and go straight to the art, sound good? Enjoy...
Uh oh! Look out! It's a greasy dude in a green leotard and doctored pilot's helmet holding a Wham-O Air Blaster! Actually, it's just Voldar from the cult classic Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. A long time staple of the public domain, this "gem," and that's a term I use VERY loosely here, got a second lease life in 1991 when the crew from Mystery Science Theater 3000 got ahold of it and went to town! It would eventually become among the series' benchmark episodes and to this day is often included in many fans' holiday viewing schedules, which is good because this polished turd is practically unwatchable WITHOUT the added commentary!
That's all I got for this week. Be sure to come back next time as we close out the month, and the year, with some simple art and a message of hope! As Christmas is still a few days away, I would again like to remind all of you to please help others. Donate food, donate clothes and toys, drop some spare change in the Salvation Army bucket, every little bit helps! As the song says "Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand, put a little love in your heart!" The world really can be a better place if we just try. Until next time, take care, stay safe and Merry Christmas. I'll catch y'all later.
