Night & Day!!

Ok, something different this time. Been watching the awesome Batman TAS (Batman: The Animated Series (TV Series 1992–1995) - IMDb ) and wanted to do something related (and also excited about the upcoming Batman/Superman movie).
Batman: I am vengeance, I am the night, I am BATMAN.
Superman: Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear...until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share--I'll never stop fighting. Ever.

Recently, I found this youtube video, where this artist drew several hundred images and created sort of animation story .. superman one is awesome.. and batman's one is also good.. check it out.. Lot of emotion in the drawing...

Kite Shock!!

This is one of the more famous stories: Ben Franklin discovers electricity while flying Kite into thunderstorm. There have been several disputes and myths on these theories as well. However the truth was before the time of avengers, Thor was as playful as his brother Loki and decided to have fun with Ben and send some thunder on the way. Ah well it's all history now.

Here are some instructions on Ben Franklin's kite:

I know I am a little late on this, but back from where I come from January 14th, we fly kites and eat food to celebrate "Uttarayan" - Sun's movement North relative to Earth. (Uttar = North, Ayan = moving). There are other names for it as well http://www.gujarattourism.com/fairs-festivals/cultural-festivals/international-kite-festival-uttarayan

The city also holds an international kite festival which is also fantastic if you are in that part of the county around that time..

Dream on Calvin!!

Happy Birthday MLK. There is a Calvin/Hobbes strip where he gets his own copy of emancipation proclamation from his mother (see below).. He is obviously complaining to MLK about him needing to pick up his jacket, with his Mom being angry and flustered while Hobbes rolls his eyes in the background...

Goof Off!!

Benson hires Planet Express for his deliveries. He expects Mordecai and Rigby to help Bender and Fry load the boxes on to the ship. However Fry/Bender and Mordecai/Rigby entered into a goof off contest. Who will win? Surely this will get intense enough to open a wormhole in time and space, right? Enjoy!! It's Friday, so time for some own personal goofing off coming up. I love both Futurama and Regular Show.

Are you Human?

Zombies and ghosts have learned to operate computers.. Humans expand the BOT identifying captcha to identify zombie users...  Why don't they just use the zombie PC at the back? Also what the heck are they surfing on the web for? Enjoy.. Happy Halloween!!

Side Note: I wanted to do a different drawing today but settled on this one instead. The one I was planning was "Happy Wholloween" celebrating Dr. Who (one of my favorite sci-fi shows ever since I came across it in 2005 - BBC One - Doctor Who) with Daleks, cybermen and weeping angels.. check it out on Netflix.. it's awesome... on that note, here's an interesting article with costume ideas for physics/science geeks. Even the descriptions of how to act out that costume is funny.. check it out: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/october-2014/costumes-to-make-zombie-einstein-proud

Zoombies!!

They are real. They are everywhere. You can get it without any warning. Watch out for the modern day zombies - Zoombies... zooming around in their cars or walking around oblivious... even the bird's warnings go unheeded...
