shiverbones Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The jeep is one of the most perfect creations ever. Is he more perfect than a Shmoo? From Wikipedia: They reproduce asexually and are very prolific. They require no sustenance other than air. Naturally gentle, they require minimal care, and are ideal playmates for young children. Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself, either by jumping into a frying pan, after which they taste like chicken, or into a broiling pan, after which they taste like steak. When roasted they taste like pork, and when baked they taste like catfish. (Raw, they taste like oysters on the half-shell.) They also produce eggs (neatly packaged), milk (bottled grade-A), and butter — no churning required. Their pelts make perfect bootleather or house timber, depending on how thick you slice it. They have no bones, so there's absolutely no waste. Their eyes make the best suspender buttons, and their whiskers make perfect toothpicks. In short, they are simply the perfect ideal of a subsistence agricultural herd animal. The frolicking of shmoon is so entertaining (such as their staged "shmoosical comedies") that people no longer feel the need to watch television or go to the movies. Shmoo Link well, after much deliberation, Shmoos win considering their enourmously beneficial properties, but I still like Jeep better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Very nice! Do you own that drawing? Why yes I do BZ. It is hanging in my comic room just above the Capt Kirk chair Since Bill refers to the toilet as his "captain's seat", I guess this is hanging in the bathroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheezyWhiz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 That Jeep might not be an original Sagendorf drawing, but this one is. Another weird thing about the Jeep drawing is that the signature at the bottom appears to have a misspelling Fantastic piece! Every once and a while I pull out my Sagendorf original art just drool.. I'm careful to avoid the art, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Popeye with the space ship and FC 113 and a GK giant size, and the Jeep issue but nothing else other than some odds and ends.

ciorac Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Impressive chair!! Are the buttons for decorative purposes only or do they control some special features? Thanks BZ! Most of the buttons serve a purpose. The switches on the left hand side, as you are seated, are merely toggle switches, but they function. The white buttons on the right hand side, as you are seated, is where the fun really happens. They control the lights, sounds and verbal effects of the chair. Just about every sound effect of consequence is included. (photon torpedoes, phasers, hailing frequency, bridge background noise, klaxon bell, etc). The commands are what you would expect and are in Kirk's voice. Lots of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
