THE MEAN STREAK OF STRIPE!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  Man, time's flying by, ain't it?  As I'm typing this, in addition to working on new comics and art for Bubble Fox and this blog, I've also been building a mask for my nephew for his halloween costume!  It's his first college party, so I obviously don't wanna let him down, but it is a challenge.  I'm not really a 3D artist per se.  I still can't believe I pulled off his sister's watermelon armor at SDCC eight years ago.  Still, it is amazing what you can accomplish with a little bit of patience, a lot of craft foam and about 72 hours worth of YouTube tutorials!  But enough about that!  Y'all want art!  At least I hope you do?  If so, scroll down and see what monster has sprung up this week!  Enjoy...

 

Uh oh...  Looks like someone fed a Mogwai after midnight!  Yup, the original Halloween/Christmas mashup movie, Gremlins was one of those weird 80's movies in that everybody knew, it even had a sequel, and yet was totally forgotten about by the time it hit its ten year anniversary.  Then us 80's kids all turned 20, discovered DVD's and were like "Oh yeah! Gremlins scared the &%#@ out of me as a kid!  Let's show it to OUR kids!" and thus a new cult classic was born!  Another Animal Alphabets entry, Stripe was the lead Gremlin who led an army of mutated Magwai in terrorizing a town one VERY dark Christmas.  Seriously, Kate (Phoebe Cates character) hates Christmas because her dad died while getting lodged in a chimney trying to play Santa Claus.  How friggin' terrible is that for a kids movie?!?  Anyway, this was a fun piece to draw, but holy crap was it a nightmare to correct in PS Elements!  Took me well over two hours to separate all the colors!  I know it's the dark side beckoning, but maybe it's time to time to go all digital?

Another week down as October rolls on, but fear not!  We got another monster coming as our Monster Fest continues here at the CRAZYVERSE!!!  So be sure to come back and see DOUBLE the trouble!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

EGADS!!! IT'S THE ROBOT... MONSTER?!?

Welcome to October CRAZIES!!!  I know, it's already a week in, but that's how the calendar fell this year!  The Spooky Season is upon us and I gotta tell ya, this Fall is already off to one of the busiest starts I've ever had at work!  I haven't even had any time for cider yet!  But there will be plenty of time for seasonal snacks and festivities as the creeps and terrors start to dip in. Coincidentally, this month is all about things that go bump in the night as we celebrate Halloween over the next four weeks with spooky art that will have you howling with terror, maybe even laughter.  Or it could be gas.  LOTTA bratwurst being consumed right now after all!  Either way, let's dive right in with our first entry, shall we?  Enjoy...

What the?!?  Grab the kids Miriam!  Head for the hills!  We're under attack!  It's a creature!  It's robot!  It's a monster!  It's a Robot Monster! Wait a tic... THAT is a Robot Monster?!?  Believe it or not folks, in the 1950's, this passed as high level science fiction.  Well, not really, but the film genre itself, not to mention the concept of special effects in general, were still pretty new, so a guy in a gorilla suit with a fishbowl on his head and set of TV antennae sticking out was about as good as it got at that point.  The real kicker though, if you got up close to the fishbowl, you could see a HUMAN SKULL!!!  In the words of the late great Count Floyd: "WOOOO!!! VASN'T DAT SHOCKINK KEEDS?!?"  Today's art is an oldie but goodie from Animal Alphabelts from 2018 where we depicted classic (And not so classic) monsters of horror, SciFi and fiction.  This creature was from the notorious 1950's schlock-fest Robot Monster.  I'd describe the plot, but I enjoy having brain cells left.  Should you ever feel the urge to watch it, the good fellas at Mister Science Theater 3000 already took all the guess work out and did it for you, so go watch their take on it instead as it's readily available on multiple platforms and far more entertaining!

Well, that's it for this week, but we'll be back with more Halloween fun next time with a monster who's better known for causing trouble at more jollier time of year if you catch my drift!  And no, it ain't who you think it is!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

VAMOOSE WITH THE VAQUITA!!!

Well, another month has come to pass here at the CRAZYVESRE.  But when one door closes another one opens up, and this door is a particularly fun one, for you see...  SUMMER IS HERE!!!  Okay, technically it's still a few weeks away, but come on now; we all know summer really starts the second Memorial Day weekend rolls up!  And the smell of BBQ is already permeating my neighborhood!  But enough about that.  So much cool stuff is on the way that one post isn't enough to contain it.  So let's get our swim trunks on and dive on in with this week's guest who is already jumping for the season!  Enjoy... 

Flipper?  Please!  This Vaquita is way cooler than some pampered porpoise!  Very similar to their dolphin cousins, these marvelous marine critters are critically endangered but hopefully on the road to recovery.  Thankfully, this cartoon vaquita is safe from the perils of our reality.  Another entry from Animal Alphabets, I had a lotta fun with this one.  Keeping the color scheme simple really helps things.  It's easy to get overwhelmed in the coloring process as so many of us want to do shades, highlights and gradients, which are great if you have the time and skill for it.  But, there is a lot to be said about simple flat coloring as well.

And that's a wrap on May 2026, but there's definitely no need to be sad folks!  Why is that?  Because next week, the annual CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN returns!  Hardly seems real that we're already gearing up for the biggest show of the year, but it is on the horizon as guest and show exclusives are already being announced as of this writing!  It'll be a long trip down memory lane well worth taking, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT!!!

We are back CRAZIES and halfway past the merry month of May!  Time flies for sure, but we are keeping pace with all the CRAZY critters that come out to play here at the CRAZYVERSE!!!  And we got another beauty coming up that could tame ANY cold-hearted beast!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy... 

There are many gorgeous butterflies that bless us with their existence.  From being great pollinators to their stunningly beautiful wings, butterflies make the world a better place.  Among the real attention-grabbers is the Ulysses Butterfly!  Their wings of black and iridescent blue stand out in any environment and are quite hypnotic as they flutter from flower to flower!  They would certainly be welcome in my yard that's for sure!  Another 2017 piece for Animal Alphabets, this one was a blast to do!  Aside from being an easier color job with so few colors, I just loved how well these hues all worked together!  If it wasn't for the fact that non-digital coloring mediums aren't very practical for current cartooning standards, I'd hand color everything I do!  Hopefully these art collective pieces make up for that.

Well, one week left to go in May 2026, but have no fear!  We have a guest next week that will have you jumping for joy that summer's around the corner!  So be sure to come back and help us end the month on a high note!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE TEENSY TANSY BEETLE!!!

We are back again CRAZIES!!!  And another week closer to the fun and festivities of summer!  I know we still got a few weeks to go, but how can I not get excited?  It's right around the corner and the San Diego County Fair is on deck!  But there will be time for that later.  It's time to meet our special guest for the week!  She's a bit if a diva if I'm being honest and quite frankly, she'd kinda starting to bug me!  But, her beauty truly shines through as you'll see when you scroll down.  Enjoy...

Meet the Tansy Beetle, a true living gem!  Similar to the junebug in appearance, these living emeralds are for more elegant with their shiny, glossy exoskeleton that shines in iridescent hues of green and gold!  I'm sure many have mistaking these gorgeous bugs for actual polished gem stones, only to be deeply disappointed (And probably greatly disturbed even!) to see it fly off!  This week's piece was part of the Animal Alphabets Art Collective back in 2017.  I don't recall what the specific theme was, but I do recall enjoying this one as beetles are always a fun draw.  They're like little bug tanks!

Well another week down as we March to summer, but more fun is coming, so be sure to come back next week and give it a good look!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE OCTOPUS' SYMPHONY!!!

Well, another month is coming to an end here CRAZIES.  The passing days get a little more meaningful to me as the months go on.  Having just turned 42 a few days ago and coming off losing my grandmother earlier this year, the passage of time REALLY starts to hit home.  But you know what?  There's still a lot to do and a lot to enjoy, so we're gonna keep the good times rolling with some critters and music because that's the right thing to do!  Our next musician is ready and waiting, so scroll down for some symphonic groove!  Enjoy...

Our final participant of the Animal Alphabets Jam Session this month is this Ocarina-playing Octopus!  He took many lessons from the legendary Bulgarian crooner, Yablo, and now, he's putting us all at ease with his gentle brand of Yacht Rock!  Octopi (Octopuses?) are such fun critters to draw.  Wiggly and colorful, they are naturals as far as cartoons go!

And that's a wrap on April 2026!  But don't worry CRAZIES!!!  I got YEARS of backlogged art to show off, so I'll be sorting through it to find four pieces of CRAZY art worthy of the CRAZYVERSE!!!  So be sure to come back and see what we find!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE NEWT FLUTE IS QUITE THE HOOT!!!

We are back!  I don't know about y'all, but all this lovely spring weather has really got my heart singing!  I mean, I am really hearing the Pipes of Pan as I frolic through the flowers!  I got a fever...  Spring fever!  And the only cure is musical-themed art!  Scroll down and get your prescription CRAZIES!!!  Enjoy...

My goodness!  These musical Newts have got a real symphony going here as they play their Nai!  For those who don't know, the Nai is an instrument similar to a pan flute but with MANY pipes attached.  In addition to strong lung capacity, long reach is another requirement of being able to play these wacky wind pipes!  One of the things that I really liked about this theme overall was the variety of instruments Animal Alphabets chose.  They really picked some off-the-wall contraptions for the critters to play!

Well, another week down as we head towards a new month, but fear not dear CRAZIES!!!  We'll be back next week with a new post that will send April off on a high note.  So be sure to come back and give it a look!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

SHAKE IT MOUSE!!! SHAKE IT!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Well, it's back to normal here at the CRAZYVERSE.  I know it's a bit of a bummer that all the WonderCon fun has come to pass, but that only means other traditions are on the way!  But there will be time for that on another day.  For you see, I am in a musical mood this month and the art coming up will reflect all that!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Oh my!  This Mouse is feeling hot hot hot!!!  Are you feeling hot hot hot?!?  We got a Mouse with Maracas here and he's getting the rhythm going!  This piece was done for the wonderful Animal Alphabets art collective which I miss so much!  The overall theme was musical animals and for the letter M, the theme was literally what you see above, I just put my own spin on it.  Mice are fun critters to work with as they are naturally toony!  This guy clearly got into some quest fresco before finding his groove!

That's all for this week, but we'll be back next time with some more critters that got a song in their heart!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TURNING THE DIAL WITH THE CHRISTMAS CROCODILE!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  One week to go 'til Christmas CRAZIES!!!  I'm excited and I'm sure you are too!  There's still so much to do, so much to prep for!  There are decorations to hang, trees to trim and cookies to ice...  Christmas is a full-time job sometimes!  Perhaps we should take a break and see how the critters are celebrating?  After all, they are the purest of all creatures!  Enjoy...

Aw, how sweet!  This crocodile has forgone hibernation to celebrate the magic of the holidays!  But that's no ordinary crocodile...  That's the Christmas Crocodile!  What sets him apart from other crocodiles?  Simple!  This one wears a Santa hat and seems to be impervious to cold weather!  I honestly don't remember what collective I drew this for, but it was likely Animal Alphabets.  It's a fun little piece and who knows?  Maybe I'll work it into a story someday?

Another week down as Christmas approaches!  We are a week away and I promise we'll send you into the big day with a revealing look at some of the season's tackiest threads! As it is the holiday season, remember that folks need help.  Please give to food banks and toy/clothing drives this season.  Many of them will be wrapping it up this week, so please give if you can!  Every little bit helps and can really give people their badly needed miracles in these desperate times.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

OOOOOOOOOH THAT SMELL!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  We are just over a week away from All Hallow's Eve!  I know, time's moving fast, that's why we gotta make more time to enjoy the moment!  But that's neither here nor there.  Right now, we need something to keep the spooky vibes alive for the season, and it gets no spookier than a ghost?  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourselves!  Come on now, don't be chicken!  Enjoy...

Ghosts come in many forms and origins, as do farts.  And as most paranormal experts will tell you, farts are merely the ghosts of the things we eat.  This boy was clearly indulging himself on the delicious joys of Popeye's Chicken before unleashing a terror from the dark crevice beyond his cheeks!  And that terror will soon spread to those nearest to the scare zone as the Ghost Chicken looks to clear the room!  This piece was part of an Animal Alphabets theme, possibly being a chicken or ghost, I honestly don't remember despite it only being from a year ago!  It certainly got a LOT of raised eyebrows on social media, and a lot of laughs too!  The chicken was actually colored in neon colored pencils and has a glowing effect under black light!  Unfortunately, it's not an easy effect to photograph, hence the reason we only get the standard edition here.  Perhaps in the future...

Alright!  Only one post left to go here in October 2025!  But don't worry!  I'll make sure we wrap October up on a high note and get everybody in the mood for Halloween!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

FULL MOON HOWLING!!!

We are back again!  Man I love this time of year!  Falling leaves, hot cider, apple pie, full moons, punk kids, werewolves...  Wait a tic...  Full moons?  Punk kids?  WEREWOLVES?!?  Where did all this come from?!?  To learn the answer, merely scroll down dear readers!  Enjoy...

Oh boy...  That werewolf is about to get to the BOTTOM of things and those kids are about to learn a harsh lesson about karma!  Remember kids, mooning may seem like a harmless prank, but the consequences can be dire.  In addition to misdemeanor indecent exposure charges, you also run the risk of exposing a werewolf to a full moon!  And no good will ever come of that!  Another oldie from the CRAZY Archives making its blog debut (A mere seven years after I originally drew it!),  I believe this was an Animal Alphabets piece where creatures of horror were the theme, and W landed on Werewolves.  This particular gag isn't new to me, or any other artists really.  Mike & Mindy had a mooning werewolf gag in their first year and I did a bit recently for some fan art where a full-of-himself kid thought mooning his friend would be funny, only for said friend to turn into a werewolf!  It's a funny gag for sure.  The great Don Martin did it once even, and if it's good enough for MAD's MADDEST Artist, then it's good enough for me!

Well, two weeks down as we march towards All Hallow's Eve!  I know, it seems like we just got here today, but I promise we'll be making plenty of noise next week that will certainly awaken the beast!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HE SHOULD BE DANCING, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!

Well, we've come to end of it all. The final post ever...  For May 2025!  What?  You thought I was ending the blog?  Come on now!  I pull this every month just about!  Y'all should see it coming by now!  Besides, I wouldn't close up shop with my biggest views season is about to start, but more on that later!  Today, it's all about the art and the music, so let's get to it, what d'ya say?  Enjoy...

Whoa!  That's one groovy cat!  Wait a tic, that ain't no cat!  It's a Bear!  A Disco Bear!  That's right, ain't no trouble "Bruin" when he's out on the dance floor!  When he ain't busy stealing picnic baskets, raiding trash cans or chasing Chet Ripley through the woods, he's strutting his stuff out at the club, looking for some honey far sweeter than any bee could make!  This ursine is out of sight!  Dance was the theme Animal Alphabets chose for Letter D, and right away, I knew I wanted to go with a disco theme.  The animal selection was a bit trickier as I didn't wanna just go with a duck as that's everybody's go-to thanks to that stupid song!  I don't exactly know why this happened, but a vision of a bear in a leisure suit just popped into my head and I started laughing hysterically at it, so I ran with it!  Lotta folks seemed to agree as it was a fairly popular post at the Bird Site and the Blue Place.  As we end this month with the penultimate edition of Animal Alphabets, we now know that Themes A, B, C and D along with Letters W, R, D and B have all been claimed!  The rest will all be revealed eventually.

That's a wrap on the month of May, and although Animal Alphabets has ended, there are easily HUNDREDS of pieces I've done for them over the past decade that haven't been posted yet, so stay TOONED in the coming years as I will get to them all at some point.  In the meantime, brace yourselves CRAZIES because next week, things get real as it's the return of everybody's favorite time of year!  That's right y'all, starting next week, the CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN returns!  So start slamming those Code Red Mountain Dews and polishing up your Cosplay armor because this year's Countdown will be bumpin'!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TAKING THE CAKE!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  We have crossed the halfway point of May and are rapidly heading into the homestretch!  The smell of BBQ permeates the air with each ticking second as the summer winds come crashing in again!  I can't focus right now with all the awesome things rapidly coming our way, so why not focus on something else pretty awesome to tie us over for a bit?  What is it you ask?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Oooooooooh...  That's one bad boxer dog!  You just can't trust those flat-faced menaces around any kind of food, let alone large pastries!  Today's art came about when Animal Alphabets picked Cake as its theme for the Letter C.  Well, I didn't have to look too far for inspiration on this one as my dog, Beau, is ALWAYS getting into literally EVERYTHING, hence the reason I chose Dog for this theme!  Although, in all fairness, Beau has yet to tackle a cake yet, but I'm sure he will eventually!  We got Theme C and Letter D off the draft board now!

Well, one more week to go in the Merry Month of May, but I'll make sure we end things on a fun note, so be sure to come back for the grand finale!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

WELL BALANCED!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Can you believe we're approaching the halfway point of May already?  We are also less than a month away now from the San Diego County Fair, or Del Mar Fair for those of us old schoolers that just can't move on!  I can practically taste the deep fried Twinkies already!  But enough of that nonsense already.  You came here for art and I intend to deliver!  The critters are getting restless and I got other tasks to attend to so lets get to it!  Enjoy...

Talk about poise?  For being such bullheaded beasts, rams sure are coordinated!  They can make their way around steep mountain peeks and narrow ledges while always maintaining there balance, which brings me to this week's Animal Alphabets theme: B for Balance!  And the ram perfectly exemplifies that in the artwork above!  He's certainly more coordinated than the two birds slamming into each other in the background!  If you're still keeping track, that's Theme B and Letter R now off the table!

Another week down as we march towards summer but next week will be a really sweet treat for those who come back to check it out, so be sure to mark you calendars!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

UNCHAINED POTTERY...

Welcome to May CRAZIES!!! And a very merry month it usually is!  Summer is rapidly approaching while BBQ Season has already begun for most!  But here, it is art season, particularly art celebrating the great critters of our world!  So sit back, relax and scroll down for some Animals celebrating the Alphabet! Enjoy...

Sleek, smooth, extremely vicious!  Yes, as cruel as wasps can be, they are remarkable animal artists, capable of building amazing, structurally sound nests out of paper or mud.  Potter wasps in particular are incredibly skilled as their nests look just like little pots!  They are certainly far more impressive than the sloppy nests that mud daubers make!  This month marks a bittersweet entry for the CRAZYVERSE as we recognize the end of Animal Alphabets.  Quite possible the longest running art collective on social media, AA was always such a joy to take part in.  It's even sadder in that its end comes on the heels of Animaloonies ending and Pinch Punch Post seemingly going on indefinite hiatus.  I suppose all things must pass, but art will always be eternal.  For this penultimate round,  AA picked a word, in this case Artists for the letter A, and we picked an animal to go with it.  I chose a wasp because of it's natural artistic ability and decided after that each theme would get the animal best suited while also keeping tabs on which letters were used so that I wouldn't repeat any.  For those keeping score, Theme A and Letter W are now taken!

Well, that's all for this first week of May, but fear not!  More critters are coming, so be sure to come back next week and see what we got going on!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

OOOOOOOH NO!!! THEY SAY HE'S GOT TO GO!!! GO GO ZORILLA!!!

Alright!  Welcome back my CRAZIES!!!  We are a little over a week away from the end of February, but just a week away from the start of something really cool!  But more on that later.  For now, we need to clear the air, and the room, so we can get ready for the coming excitement!  And I got just the critter to do that!  Enjoy...

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He sprays the dogs in your backyard down!!!

Oh no!  They say he's got to go!

Go go Zorilla!!!

The African cousins to the North American Skunk, the Zorilla is more closely related to weasels and other mustelids whereas skunks have more recently been placed in their own order/family, Mephitidae.  Regardless, both stink and both are not particularly appreciative of human interaction, so its best to just steer clear if you can!  Another theme from the Animal Alphabets collective, this one may have been my favorite to do in 2023.  I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it and had a lot of fun drawing it.  Being a lifelong fan of Kaiju movies, I knew I couldn't pass up an opportunity to add an atomic blast, achieved through colored pencils and thus making this a mixed media piece (The rest was colored with markers)!

And that's all she wrote for February!  Wait a minute, what's going on here?  There's still a whole week left in the month!  What gives?!?  Well, that's a wrap on the art for this month, and for a little while really, but there is a good reason for this.  If you'll check your calendars, y'all will notice a little thing called WonderCon is coming next month.  That's right folks!  Next week, the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown returns, with an extra week added even!  It's always so much fun to relive these past Con experiences with you awesome fans, so be sure to come back and help us start the celebration off right!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

DON'T TALK BACK!!!

We are back!  And already approaching the halfway point in February!  I know it feels longer but that Spring feeling is already hitting me!  Of course, when you live in San Diego, most days tend to already feel like Spring!  But enough about that, y'all came for some art (I've noticed the increase in views lately and I can't express my gratitude enough!), so let's get to it before we get trampled by the herd!  Enjoy...

Don't talk back, Yak!  Don't you EVER talk back, lest you want an attack from a brat with a tongue like a tack!  Yak's were the theme from this particular Animal Alphabets outing and I was largely inspired by the Shaving Yak from The Ren & Stimpy Show back from Nickelodeon's early-90's heyday.  The way they drew yaks always cracked my brother and me up as kids, so I just kinda ran with it.  Adding the sassy little girl was just a personal touch.  I have found memories of babysitting my cousins and niece when they were little and although I adored them all, they were real mouthy little turds!  Still, they were happy times and now they're all grown up and making their own way in this insane world...

Another one down as we march on towards March. But fear not!  Another piece of CRAZY art is a mere seven days away and this one will leave you breathless!  So be sure to came back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

SINGIN' WITH A XANTU!!!

Welcome to February CRAZIES!!!  Hopefully y'all made it out of January no worse for wear and are ready for some Pink Halloween (Valentine's Day) snuggling!  That or eagerly awaiting the return of Shamrock Shakes if you're in my shoes (Hey, a guy needs something to look forward to, am I right?)!  We're going a little wild for the next few weeks as something big is on the horizon, but more on that when the time is right!  For now, let's go do some bird watching and see what we'll find, sound good?  Enjoy...

Well what d'ya know?  We spotted something right off the bat!  It's Xantu's Hummingbird!  A colorful little bird with its striking emerald head and prominent eye stripes, these guys buzz from flower to flower, sipping nectar while also helping flowers get pollinated!  Animal Alphabets over on Twitter (And now BlueSky too!) picked this bright little pal not too long ago as one of its themes.  It was a fun and simple draw, which I was thankful for.  It came at a really busy time!

Well, one week down in the year's shortest month that somehow always feels like the longest.  Late Winter has a way of making things drag on a bit I suppose, but that's not important now!  We'll be back next week with with new art that might have you singing, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HE'S A MEAN ONE..

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Are we really halfway to Christmas already?  My how time flies!  Well, we best not dawdle then as time is ticking!  Especially now that HE has been spotted in the area?  Who, you ask?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Yup.  HE is here and apparently Christmas just ain't enough for this grubby little scoundrel.  Now the Grinch has moved on to more lucrative dealings!  Mark my words, if Dr. Seuss were still alive, How The Grinch Stole My Stereo would exist today and be another holiday standard waiting to be inevitably ruined Illumination Studios!  If I remember correctly, this was a piece done for Animal Alphabets when they were doing their horror creatures theme.  I wouldn't consider the Grinch a creature, though Ron Howard certainly did his best to turn him into one!  Some things just weren't meant for live action.

Well, another week down as we get closer to our annual visit from the jolly old elf himself, but there's still a little fun to be had!  Santa's giving us all an exclusive sneak peek into his prep for the long night ahead, so be sure to come back and check it out! In the meantime, please think of others this holiday season!  Donate to food/toy/clothing banks ASAP!  One act of kindness can make such a difference in somebody's life.  Please perform that kind act if you can!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

NOSFERATU!!!

NEXT WEEK!!!  HALLOWEEN IS NEXT WEEK CRAZIES!!!  But this week we still got a guest to entertain!  He's enjoyed quite the resurgence in recent decades thanks to a certain cartoon sponge that appears on a network notorious for their poor treatment of creators, but that's neither here nor there!  He was gracious enough to appear this week at the CRAZYVERSE, so let's get to it!  Enjoy...

Count Orlok is here!  Often referred as Nosferatu, which ISN'T his actual name, the Count is actually among the earliest icons of the horror genre.  Largely forgotten as silent films began to get lost, it was a chance gag on an early-era episode of Spongebob that Count Orlok saw his star reignite!  Only problem is, we are now moving into a third generation of kids who think his name is NOSFERATU!!!  Eh, at least he was rediscovered.  As Meatloaf used to say, "Two out of three ain't bad!"

Well, that's four down and only one left to go as we get ready to scare the pants of a few people!  So be sure to came back next week and help get All Hallow's Eve off to a good start!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
