SO MANY COMICS MEDIUM RARE!

Roar! Yesterday was the first Saturday in May and that meant free comic day! Free comic day is when all the different publishers send out all sorts of promotional comics to comic shops to give away for free! I decided to ride around my area of Brooklyn to a few different comic shops to see what they were giving away.

First, I rode over to the Comics Bakery in Williamsburg. This is a really cool shop that has all sorts of independent and underground comics. They also had the most interesting stuff for free comics day and gave out a lot of free samples of small press comic books.

Next, I rode over to this shop in Bedstuy I heard about but it was closed. I guess things aren't easy for the comics industry right now. Roar...

The last place I went to was this comic store in Woodhaven. They had all the super hero books Marvel and DC were giving away plus they were giving away extra stock and up to five free back issues! These guys are super nice and I definitely recommend checking out their shop!

Woah! Look at all these free comics! One of them even has the president on the cover! It sure was a great morning but I wonder what I'll be up to later this evening?

Why, I went to see Peelander-Z at Brooklyn Bowl! They are this crazy punk band who are from planet Peelander and dress up like squids and tigers and jump rope! It was a really great show! Roar!

Peelander Red had the audience pick him up so he could play his bass while standing on their hands. I bet he learned how to do that in outer space!

Things got really crazy at the concert and they started flying through the clouds! Then the dressed up like a squid and bowling pins and went human bowling while their fans played their instruments on stage!


They even played S.T.E.A.K. which is my favorite song of theirs! ROAR!

Here I am after the show with Peelander Green, my favorite Peelander. It was such a great show. Definitely go see them next time they play! It's guaranteed to be entertaining. Roar!

More Art Adventures!

Roar! Today I tried to sell some collage art I made over on Bedford Ave in Willamsburg. It didn't go so well. I only sold one piece. The collages were a personal interpretation of some scenes of old Brooklyn. I thought they came out looking pretty cool and they generated a lot of interest but it turns out no one was buying. I hope I didn't scare everyone away because I am a dinosaur! It was really fun making the collages. I went over to the New York Public Library and did some research in their picture collection. I made a bunch of photocopies of the stuff I thought was the coolest then I went home and cut up all the pictures with my claws. Paper went everywhere! Then I glued them together into these surrealist scenes.

Here I am on Bedford Ave trying to sell my art. It was a really nice day out. Even though I didn't sell any art at least I had fun outside.

Here is a picture of the old Fulton Street Rocket Train. Unfortunately it didn't last very long.

This is what Brooklyn Heights used to look like! Roar!

This is in Dumbo over on Barry Street. That pigeon is looking a little nervous. I don't think he realized this was an owl bar. Not to mention the eyes of the Lindbergh kidnapper are gathering overhead! Spooky!

Roar! This is the only picture I sold. It's a back alley somewhere in Bushwick. I bet the the only reason I sold this one is that girl has a fixed gear bicycle.

Here is an old picture of the Williamsburg Savings Bank.

Roar! Crown Heights sure was crazy in the eighties!

Another one from Crown Heights. Just look at what everyone is wearing!

Here is what McCarren Park Pool used to look like in the winter time. I love ice skating! I don't even need skates I can just use my claws! Roar!

Woah! Check out the sweet fixie that guy is riding!

Here is the Williamsburg Bridge back when the old trolley lines used to run.

This railway yard in Brooklyn is CRAZY! Watch out for all the jazz on the left Mr. Choo Choo train! You don't want to get swept up in it! Roar!

Here is a diptych I made of a cock fight between Williamsburg and DUMBO. There are lots of pretty ladies watching! Roar!
