I have been seeing adverts for a 'new movie'. Each time I do it makes my stomach curl up just a little. Today of all days ... Dr. Suess's birthday, I witnessed what can only be described the most egregious advertisement placement ever. I saw an advertisement for The Lorax in Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel. Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all ages: that IS the definition of irony.
The Lorax is (in my opinion) the only picture book that deals with the apocalypse. This is a tale of a far future where humanity has completely stripped the earth bare in our relentless need to amass more stuff ... things. It's a cautionary tale against rampant consumerism. What the new movie has done to the message of Dr. Suess is frankly disgusting and vile.
Listen and watch the book as intended. And then join me in boycotting this pile of garbage.

Head Gear of the Wastes
This is a do over ... the first was too steam punk. I'm sure you all will agree, this is anything but.
Still a work in progress. Needs a chinstrap and the antlers to be attached. Also more spikes.

Musical Interlude the Twenty Second
Buildings crashing down to a cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here's the burning pay

EPILOGUE!
Reblogged in part from: All My Heroes Have Day Jobs
"What is Epilogue?" Some say in whispers down darkened alleyways...
Sometimes we answer, "Post Apocalyptic Roaches.", also with a whisper.
"What's that?" they whisper back.
We answer, but with a firmer whisper than the wispy whisper we offered before, "It's sorta like Mad Max... but with cockroaches!"
And then they're all, "Whaaa?" whispering all inquisitive like.
We reply w/ a sterner whisper, "It's a graphic novel. And it's gonna be awesome!"
The "WE" is gonna be my pal Daniel Levitch and I. Daniel is a great guy, and I'm glad I connected with him via our significant others. No, not the whispering alleyway people! Ava & Amber, our lovely maidens of love and stuff!
Looks pretty interesting guys. Will be looking out for it!
