What do Richard Branson and Michele Bachmann have in common?
They both have the crazy.
Nine, ‘The Oncoming Storm’: Christopher Eccleston played the role of the Doctor in 2005 – my favorite actor of the new era. All of the actors since 2005 have been great (Tennant, Smith), but Eccleston brought the character back with giant space balls. Hearing him call Rose ‘just another styoopid ape!’ is an apt joy.
And Rose Tyler. I think I captured her doe-eyed, brit-toothed qualities. I was not a fan of her character until David Tennant took over.
If you haven’t seen it, Peep Show from the UK is a FANTASTIC show. A goofy, witty, dark, little character-based sitcom shot in an entirely unique way (to my knowledge). There’s something about anglo-tv that lends itself well to repeated viewings. When I was 25, I watched Red Dwarf over and over and over for a winter, and this year it’s been Mitchell and Webb in “Peep Show.”
But if you’re more into meat and potatoes (rather than steak and kidney pies), then It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is, to my sensibilities, one of the best sitcoms ever made in the States. Danny Devito is slowing growing on me, and Sweet Dee is an essential character, so take no message from the fact that I didn’t scan in my drawing of her. It just isn’t as good as I feel these three were. Well, not ‘good’ exactly, but the line weight, etc., just didn’t suit the three below.
It’s pretty weird to put your own drawings up on the web for all to smile or snigger at. It’s like standing naked on the roof of your building in Greenwich Village. You know that thousands of people could be laughing at your gynecomastia or shrinkage in the cool October night air, but you can’t see it or hear it (thank god). Though, the desire for feedback is precisely why you do it (once you get over the initial euphoria of self-expansion).
So, I’d love some comments. Even insults are okay. Just leave my manboobs out of it!
