Morning, kids? Would you like a terrible joke that is far-too-niche with your shitty art today? AWESOME!

Master Lam always forgets to bring change when he wears his robes

For Halloween, I was a Chinese vampire; a hopping corpse.



Yes, I know that they only wear black robes. Shut up, I love this robe...and don't own a black one.

I highly recommend that you watch the Hong Kong film Mr. Vampire (literally Mr. Stiff Corpse) right over here, online, for free.  It's completely nuts. Taoist magic is crazy, even though they made some of it up for the movie. Trust me, I've read books about the stuff...

Oh, here's me trying to suck the life-force out of Sarah Palin. Thankfully, Chinese zombies don't need to eat brains.



Sara went to Chicago yesterday for a rheumatology appointment that she has today.
She and her mother go up to Minnesota tomorrow for four more days of Mayo Clinic.
I'll have some shots from the first trip up some other time, but here's one to tide you over.



On a shitty-but-not-really-that-surprising note, people who bomb abortion clinics aren't terrorists says Sara Palin.
She still decries Ayers and the Weather Underground, though.

Which group has killed more people?

In conclusion, you have granted yourself another six hours of life for this, humanity:


Smooches,

        As if my overnight delivery of My brother Matthew’s Funny-As-All-Fuck FWMA submission was somehow not enough for you bastards.

        You see, ages ago, I dreamt of a properly-done version of The Legend of the Golden Vampires, aka The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula:


    In mine, we utilize classic superhero team-up rules: the Taoist priests and Shaolin monks battle Dracula, whilst Catholic priests go mano-a-mano against Chinese “hopping corpses.” Sadly, I know this is a project with severely limited appeal…after all, few people know what a hopping corpse looks like.

    This is them here:

            Unlike Western vampires, they’re generally the result of inauspicious burial, or disturbing of their graves, or general bad luck. They have enormous fingernails and don’t really drink blood, they just kill you—some say they suck your life out, but whatever. They can’t detect you if you aren’t breathing, and those yellow slips of paper on their heads are Mao-Shan sect Taoist sutras that hold them in place, even make them obey, if the corpse isn’t too strong-willed.
            Anyway, this project has bubbled in my head for years, and for right now I’m doing it as a prose version, but somewhere in my dreams, Film Workshop is already shooting. Maybe I owe them a treatment. Hell, I *know* I do.
           
In any event, here are the two halves I have right now. One has been posted, in part, before.
           
These are long. I find myself not giving a shit.

 That's Part One. This is Part Two.
