Stay tuned, the evil pink aliens with purple spots and fluffy feathers are the subject of our August competition. To get warmed up, take a look at the first two wickedly evil activities these pink aliens got up to.
A pageant wouldn’t be a pageant without a bit of controversy and gossip.
Check out this piñata – claimed to be the largest in the world. Now,where’s my stick….
May’s Friday Freebie is now available to download! It’s paper fortune cookies made with 100% fat free cartoons!
Click here to be the first to grab it! It also contains one new unpublished cartoon.
It was time for some new aliens – evil ones – dressed is hot pink with bright purple feathers and a cigarette hanging half out their mouth.
And did you know Jupiter is a giant gas planet? I used to think all planets were just giant rocks, some with water if you were lucky like earth. Jupiter is made up predominantly of hydrogen (about 90%) and helium (9%) with a few sprinklings of some other elements.
And for those scientifically minded people out there, I know there are some errors in science within the making of this cartoon, but hey, that’s what’s great cartooning is all about – bending of the truth!
So, here’s the puzzle for the day. I can think of 2 obvious scientific errors – can you guess what they are? (I’ll post the answer, next time I post the adventures of these two new characters)
You’ve got to love the peculiarities of the english language. Why do you watch actors ON TV, but when you trek to a cinema, you watch them IN the movies?
It shall remain one of life’s many unanswered questions, until someone smarter than this humble engineer (perhaps an english teacher) can please explain!
No sooner, do I post a cartoon on the amazing speed of Neutrinos, then things all change.
It looks like the Photons are fighting back, supporting Einstein and his theory on relativity and claiming the prize for being the fastest in the Universe. CERN released a press statement in February indicating that a faulty cable may be the reason for the faster than light speed measurements taken from our little friends the Neutrinos. See the UK Daily Mail for a non scientific explanation. (I decided not to link the official CERN site press release as it was a bit heavy reading, but possibly more technically precise).
My thanks to Hugh for bringing me up to speed (bit of a pun and I didn’t even mean it) on the latest Hoo-ha going on in the land of particle physics.
Although this CERN experiment is still undergoing scrutiny, if found true it would shake up Einstein’s theory on general relativity (i.e., nothing travels faster than light). Here are a couple of articles related to the findings. Click me for CERN Press release and me for a ‘dummies’ explanation after an interview with CERN’s chief spokesman.
