Before the Blog ...
The creative energy is needed in the real world, so I'm going to mine the archives for a few days ... no, not my blog archives, my archives from before the blog. The Funbook archives.
Technically-speaking, I started "blogging" in 1981. That's when I started stuffing crap -- pretty much the same stuff you get on this site -- into duotangs.
The very first Funbook is above on the far left. It's mostly a sketchbook of aliens and includes the very first drawing of Ms. Johnson. Some of the later Funbooks are also pictured. The name Funbook (also the name of my 2001 proto-blog, check out Medlab's review of Paradocueen) didn't come along until my final year at York: I was managing the college video arcade and the game supplier would bring in pirated games from Asia in generic cases marked "FUN GAME". The name really stuck when he brought in a Tetris rip-off featuring anime pics of women who stripped every time you completed a level. Everyone thought that was a fun game.
Ok, some archive crap.
This first bit is for James. It shows that I'm not a johnny-come-lately to the DS9 bashing game. It's a 1995 chart comparing Babylon 5, DS9 and Space:1999 (not to be confused with the movie Office Space from the year 1999):
That's right, Space:1999 beat DS9!
Next.
The picture below was done by a kid (pretty sure it was Ralph Benmergui's, actually) in the art program where I used to work:
Bret(sic): Hey Mom! No hard feelings! I'm just been bad!
Mom: Bret, go to your room and don't come out!
I kept it 'cause I'm depicted as a crazy-haired, bizarrely-muscled bad-ass. And I'm jumping on the bed. More archive-y fun to come!
