Giant Battle
When I realized that I had drawn the “wrong date Sunday”… I needed to come up with a quick toon for THIS Sunday… one that didn’t have tons of panels. I looked at my cork board by my desk and saw: a chicken sticker (a cartoon chicken with a speech bubble which says “bok?”) and a postcard with tentacles on it. You can see how I came up with today’s toon. That’s where this stuff comes from, people.
Wow, look at their eyes. That squid and chicken are fit to be fried.
Cool water effects. Realistic, no. Fascinating, yes.
OK, so which came first, the chicken or the squid?
A few years ago there was a Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels movie called “The Squid and the Whale”. Is this strip the sequel? I like when you get a little crazy and surreal.
A big chicken beating a big squid? No. Now, if a big Gull was in the fight, no we’re talkin.’
I’m seeing a Ryan-Randie juxtaposition here. Ryan, having done a stint dressed as a giant squid before, and Randie, sporting chicken legs, interacting from two very different linguistic and artistic worlds…as further evidenced in panel two by Ryan reading and Randie sketching.
Now if the battle were arm wrestling…
gee…now i’ll have to take a walk along the length of bike trail that runs between fisherman’s wharf and the coast guard pier and see if these two are still having their staring contest with each other…
The chicken would SO win. They can punch straight through a cockroach’s shell with those razor beaks, the soft, squishy body of a squid would be nothing at all.
The makings of the best Toho giant monster movie EVER.
…or at least the most delicious one! Atom bomb the two for extra big servings of calimari and fried chicken (just don’t mind the radioactive aftertaste).
Ha… Ryan DID dress up as a squid… AND Randie worked at Col. Chicken! Nice going, stick…but is it coincidence? I think my brain was messing with me.
Fit to be fried, indeed!
Kaboomie! Radioactive chicken & squid meat plopping on the water and in the sand! The horror! Dada… you WOULD think of that, you monster nut! I’d pay money to watch the animated short!
Chug… I dunno… tentacles!
dome… Ya think someone will “chicken out?” wah wah…
Denny… Missed THAT one….
Jack… The giant gull that ate Portland is no match for Giant Squid! Bwhahh hah!
And what exactly are those tentacles going to stick to? You can’t get suction on a bunch of feathers.
Chug…. true dat… but you could wrap around the chicken and squeeze it to… well, that’s an unpleasant thought… but there ya go.
