Godzilla Haiku - Monster Wisdom
Allow myself to point your focus to the marvellous Godzilla Haikus of Samurai Frog over at Tumblr. See my favorite examples of the many, many haikus found there. Not only are they funny, sometimes they are even wise.
Haikus aren’t easy
And sometimes they even make sense.
Godzilla!
Filed under: Mash-Up: "The Uncanny X-Men" by Hergé
For everyone not into comic books:
1) Hergé invented “Tintin”. This hero was very successfull when printed on paper. Now he is rather successfull in cinemas. (As of today “The Adventures of Tintin” grossed over $ 300,000 worldwide!) And…
2) “The X-Men”. Well, if you haven’t heard of them you may have landed on the wrong kind of blog here.
But what I really wanted is to showcase the works of French artist “Yop!”, who did some very nice mash-ups. And shares them with us on his website “Mooloozone”.
“L’Affaire Magneto” mixes the X-Men and the famous drawing style of Hergé called “Ligne claire”. I’m a huge fan of this exact, articulate kind of comic books and somehow it even works with the X-Men! But it changes the pace from action to storytelling.
Yop! was so kind to translate this comic into English, you can download the full five pages as an PDF here.
If you are speaking French, there are two other really great pieces:
A mash-up of Conan and “Little Nemo in Slumberland” – Brilliant! Here.
And “The Smurfs” mixed up with “Sin City”! Now that would have made the movie a lot more interesting. Imagine Bruce Willis instead of Neil Patrick Harris! There.
We want Honest Logos!
O.k. – first please watch these logos:
Now listen to this music:
And now read this:
If companies had to have logos that would tell you the plain truth about their products, wouldn’t the Earth be a better place?
(Dramatic pause: Listen to kitschy violin for 10 seconds at least!)
Does every company lie?
I personally have never ever consumed any product of any of the 30 companies that now – finally! – got honest logos from designer Victor Hertz.
But that’s a lie, too…
