Stuff On My Desk – Hawkman

Hawkman action figure

Egyptian prince? Alien cop? Pervert ornithologist?

I have stuff, and some of it is on my desk.

This particular bit of comic book ephemera has been lurking around my home work station for about 15 years or so. I remember buying this guy three apartments ago from a now defunct toy store chain and he originally perched (see what I did there?) on a drawing table I haven’t had in years. So yeah, he’s been around awhile.

For those not in the know, this is Hawkman, a DC Comics character who first appeared in the 1940s. His back story has changed a lot over the years. Originally he was a reincarnated Egyptian prince, then he was a police officer from the planet Thanagar, and I think he briefly stood in for Big Bird on Sesame Street during a contract dispute. Basically he’s had more reboots than that piece of crap Packard Bell computer I had around 1993.

This particular version of the character seems to have a Native American feel to it, and to confuse the matter further he’s got throwing stars strapped to his arm. Most importantly, though, he is one of the few super heroes out there who wears his muscle tissue on the outside of his pants.

Gerbil With a What Now?

Gerbil With a Jetpack

Gerbil With a Jetpack

Gerbils? Jetpacks? What’s it all mean, Buckaroo?

Well, I figure Monty Python’s Flying Circus had nothing to do with serpents, aeronautics or carnival life, and Mad magazine rarely concerned itself with mental health issues, so Gerbil With a Jetpack is just a silly name for a webcomic. Best not to read too much into it.

I’ve been inflicting my doodles on my Facebook friends for awhile, and now I’m going to burden the world at large with my attempts at cartoon buffoonery (carfoonery if you will). For the most part I’ll be making single panel gag cartoons, but I’ll be doing the occasional multi-panel strip as well. What’s the focus? Not sure I have one yet. I like old monster movies, Star Trek, comics, and pop culture in general so there will be a certain level of geekery at work, but you’ll find some more general humor as well. Basically, if I think it’s funny I’m going to hope that someone else out there will agree.

Updates will be weekly to begin with. That’s kind of a wimpy posting schedule, but I’m hoping to upload ‘toons more frequently as I get used to the routine. There are 22 cartoons posted right now (click on the “Comic Archive” drop down in the right hand column), so have a look, and if you see anything you like leave a comment and please share a link with friends if you’re moved to do so.
