Posthumous Cartoons: 'Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop'

Blue Water Comics is releasing what they refer to as a biographical edition on the life and death of Michael Jackson. The collection is called 'Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop' and it is scheduled to drop in October 2009.

“Michael Jackson’s music served as the soundtrack to countless lives…including mine,” said Bluewater president Darren G. Davis, “His influence on our culture has been profound.”

“This is a celebration of his life and what he meant to a legion of fans,” Davis said. “Although the book won’t shy away from some of his personal troubles, we try to tell a balanced story that shows Jackson as a musical genius, an unparalleled superstar and as a complex person.”
Davis noted that he initially waffled at producing a tribute comic, but after receiving dozens of emails and phone calls he knew it was the proper way to show respect and give fans a lasting remembrance."

As for Pop Surrealism, There's 'The Meat Show: Paintings About Children, God And USDA Grade A Beef'

I just came across the fascinating work of American painter Mark Ryden. His "The Meat Show: Paintings about Children, God and USDA Grade A Beef" collection was his debut solo exhibit wayyyy back in 1998. Eat Me Daily notes about this quirky but fascinating collection:

"Commonly associated with the genre of pop surrealism or lowbrow art, this first show combined images of innocent, angelic “creatures” with butcher shop settings and whimsical Alice in Wonderland backdrops. With that, crosses, Abraham Lincoln, literal “devil dogs,” and even, yes, third eyes – all among a dancing fury of porterhouses, bacon slabs and whole sides of beef."

Sexy Commercial for Incontinence Underpanties Makes me Wanna P*e on Myself

Video ads for incontinence knickers usually involve geriatric types looking comfortable and smug about being able to pee on themselves without pissing off someone...no pun intended. This commercial however, has got to be the hippest ad for incontinence underpants that I have ever seen.

And apropos nothing, Google Adsense's stupid and ridiculous filters loved me with a public service ad on this post because of the word "pee". Or was it "underpanties"? Or maybe "incontinence". Anyway, while I love me a PSA, I need to ask the gentle question: What the fuck is wrong with Google?

Remember Erin Andrews? Yes? No? Well, she's an ESPN college football broadcaster who saw herself involved in a recent scandal through no fault of her own.

Now, Erin has posed for GQ Magazine in a series of 'dirty' photos where the foxy broadcaster is covered in mud from head to toe as she 'hangs out' with a group of college football players.

The World's Smallest Car - The Peel P50 Weighs Only 130 Lbs

At a weight of 130 pounds (59kg), the Peel P50 is the world's smallest production car. The 54 inch long little suckers were made by Peel Engineering Company in the 1960s. Today, there are only approximately 20 cars left.

According to Wikipedia:

"The Peel P50 is a three-wheeled microcar manufactured in 1962 and 1965 by the Manx Peel Engineering Company. It retailed for £199 when new, and currently holds the record for the smallest-ever automobile to go into production.

Designed as a city car, it was advertised as capable of seating "one adult and a shopping bag." The vehicle's only door was on its left side, and equipment included a single windscreen wiper and only one headlight. Standard colours were Daytona White, Dragon Red and Dark Blue."

Absurd, Surreal and Alluring Females: Mike Worral's Mysterious Women

Mike Worral is an English artist and designer. His paintings are a combination of the absurd, surreal and alluring. By combining contemporary concepts with historical content, Mike Worrall evokes a compelling view into an enchanting, dramatic and mysterious world of women wearing elaborate dresses and surreal diaroma backdrops. Worral states:

“I have been painting since the early 1960’s and am almost entirely self taught. I still retain the basic technique and style developed in these early years. I am committed to exploring the subconscious and I like Paul Delvaux and Max Ernst amongst others.”

“I’ve worked in the feature film industry as an Ideas Artist. You can see my work on Alien III website. I was told by Roman Polanski that a painting of my mine he had, gave him the idea of making the film Macbeth. He based the second scene on the painting. I have works in the collections of Victor Lownes, Alan Price of the Animals, Roman Polanski, Nicholas Roeg, Vincent Ward and many others.” - from Worral’s biography

Soviet and East German Leaders Share a Passionate Kiss for the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

This mural of broom-eyebrowed Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev French-kissing the former East German chancellor Eric Honecker is genial as well as hysterical. Okay, so maybe they are not French-kissing. But you can't deny that there is heaving, unbridled passion at play here. Can I get an ew?

Russian artist Dmitry Vrubel works on his painting depicting Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev's passionate kiss with East Germany's leader Eric Honecker, on a stretch of the Berlin wall. Vrubel is recreating his mural, one of more than 100 others painted by 118 artists after the wall was torn down in 1989, on a surviving stretch known as the East Side Gallery.

The Berlin Wall was built by the East German government and divided East and West Berlin from 1961 until 1989. Germany will mark 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall this year with an international commemoration in November.
