You will see a new installment of “The Life & Times of Nigel” (the new Dead Pocket comic strip) at least every month.
Nigel, an unfortunate anteater who has lost his taste for ants, asks the questions that concern us all in life. Fortunately, his animal friends are there to help with an encouraging word or wise advice.
A new Dead Pocket project! Will has undertaken the creation of a one-of-a-kind action figure based on our very own luchador, Brazo Del Absurdo. Here’s the starting sketch for the figure:
It’s based on the Mighty Muggs figure by Hasbro. Will has committed to documenting the progress of the figure on the site, so stay tuned for updates!
And, when the figure’s done, we’ll see if we can make it available to purchase on eBay! Get your bidding fingers ready.
Special thanks to Lucero!
At a very young age, I thought I could move objects with my mind. As it turns out, moving things with your mind can be difficult. But shaking your head can make it look like you’re moving things with your mind.
This brings me to the first (and possibly the last) Dead Pocket Round Folding Card Table Discussion Topic: Historical Accuracy.
I suggest that historical accuracy could quite possibly be the least trustworthy thing on the planet. It might be more trustworthy to believe that I am, at this moment, eating an ear of corn and standing on one leg while singing the part of Don José from Carmen, than to put your trust in the reported story that Grover Cleveland, in 1871, while sheriff of Erie County, built a time machine using a blueprint he was given by a visitor from another planet.
In 1927, German physicist Walter Kaufmann constructed a formula on the back of a napkin that proved that our historical accounts could be in a constant state of quasi-temporal sub-cutaneous metamorphosis, shifting sub-atomically between alternate dimensions. Probably not, but it could be. Attempts to recover the napkin have been unsuccessful. The napkin was either thrown away or used to clean mustard from a considerably large mustache.
History has since been rewritten to remove any reference of this theory.
For your consideration, history might not be all it’s cracked up to be. I wouldn’t argue this with that historian you shared that bus ride to the airport with. The upset could result in great psychological trauma.
The Dead Pocket Station is proud to introduce Brazo Del Absurdo, the first Dead Pocket sponsored luchador superstar. He will soon be a household name as he begins his quest to conquer the continent by putting everyone in a headlock.
