i received an email subjected "new comic ideas" and was excited to hear i was getting a new assignment, but when i opened it: there he was. rick astley. and he just wanted to tell me how he was feeling: he's never give me up, never gonna let me down.
dammit.
in fairness, the email was not entirely a jerk move-- and it was a whole lot better than getting two girls one cupped. the "new comic ideas" were all based around internet memes and viral videos-- some more recent than others-- and the rick roll bit was one of them. basically, my task was to replace popular internet figures with a snapdragon version of the characters. the shepard fairey-styled obama-spoof in the last post was one of them, too.
with music, this image will make a lot more sense.i finished all the illustrations and it was probably one of the most fun assignments they've given me yet. i even tossed in a complimentary sad keanu.
and before i forget, today is my roommate's 21st birthday-- so if you see the guy walking down the street, i give you full permission to side-tackle him and pour tequila down his throat like they do to tourists in mexico. i do believe this entire apartment is going to be black-out drunk for about four days straight. so my apologies in advance if i forget to... wake up, or post... for a couple more days.
also, i've noticed my blog is attracting alcohol-recovery program advertisements via google's adsense-- which makes some sense-- but wtf is "Premier Napa Valley Rehab" all about? that's like sending a pothead to humboldt.
the best ad i've seen yet, though, is "Become a Police Officer!"
anyway, that's that.
