Graphic Novel Cover Illustration Idea...

Ivanhoe.jpg

I think it would be very entertaining to illustrate old classics as bold, shortened graphic novels.

GarandFan:

Romeo and Juliet:

Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, where are you?

Romeo: Down here ya dumb blonde.

Tybalt kills Mercutio. Romeo slays Tybalt.

Romeo commits suicide.

The End

Just make sure the graphics have lots of blood and the women have big boobs. Sure to be a winner!

Cowboy:

Love the hand on the bow -- at the ready!

GF:
That cracked me up!

john cox:

HEY G

OOOO! I thought of another one...

A one-legged guy looks for a whale all over the goddamn place.

Whale kills him.

THE END

Terwiliger:

Abridge the classics? Heresy--but it's probably the only way the USADD/iPod generation could get through them (believe it or don't--I recently overheard a conversation between university students complaining about CliffsNotes being too long).

On an unrelated note, Robin couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with that draw-hand position (much less split an arrow).

It's dark. It's light. Suddenly there are plants and birds and rocks and things. And people. It rains. A lot. Lots of folks are begat. A virgin gives birth. The boy grows up and multiplies loaves and fishes. He dies. He comes back again. His friends talk about him. A lot. Gates of Heaven are opened. Four horseman come. Good vs evil. Good wins. The end.

Ahem. Shouldn't that be "Ivanwhore"? Grammar please!

GarandFan:

Today a publisher would tell Melville, "The environmentalists will be up in arms, you can't write a book about killing whales. Not only that, there's no "chick angle" in there anywhere. Just a boat load of guys. HEY! Here's a thought, work in a gay theme between the black guy and Captain Ahab. Instead of hunting whales, let's say they're out there to protect them. A kinda 18th century Greenpeace."

Did all of you forget "Classic Comics" or am I the only one old enough to remember them?

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Dude this blog rules i cant believe i finally found what i was looking for, thanks bro.

Exactly what some really good cd players for kids? My cousin is 5 years of age and for christmas I would like to buy her a music, she loves my nano but I think it would be difficult for her to utilize it. Are there worthwhile ones for kids?

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
