I thought it would fun if it was explained how Sam discovered he was allergic to cheerleaders.
If this one doesn’t make you snort your morning beverage out at your monitor, I don’t know what will.
Currently listening to “Bathroom Wall” by Faster Pussycat…

Well, if YOU were a werewolf, what drink would YOU order all the time? Seems pretty obvious that a fuzzy navel would be pretty high up on the list of favorite werewolf drinks.
I also wanted Roy’s friend to say he was “Cheerleader intolerant” but it wouldn’t fit with the limited space I had. I’m sure you all will forgive me just this once, right?
Currently listening to silence as I finish this post and head to bed. Total time to complete this strip from rough pencils to here: 3 hours 25 minutes. Would have been faster but I did heavy digital editing on this one (no, I’m not gonna tell you what those edits were – that’s like Penn & Teller giving their secrets away).

Man, Marc really isn’t having that great of a time at The hairy Pit, is he? Wonder how he’ll get himself out of this jam???
Also, some Olympic thoughts:
With the tragedy that the Men’s Indoor Volleyball team suffered the second day of the Olympics, how can you not feel good about them winning the gold medal? Talk about overcoming some huge emotional and mental challenges…
I suffered watching the US Men’s basketball medal game last night. Yeah, somehow, I ended up being awake when the game started and then I couldn’t go to sleep until it was over. Man, it just looked like Spain was playing rugby out there… I have to agree with what Doug Collins said… it looked to me like Spain was doing everything they could to try to antagonize the US team to try and force them into the typical NBA one-on-one, free for all. It was great to see the US team not fall into that trap and stayed with the “team concept” from start to finish.

Just goes to show you that when you’re a fish out of water – like Marc currently is – sometimes, even when you think you’re doing the correct thing, you could really be doing the wrong thing.
Gonna keep this one short and sweet since the Olympics are really kicking my butt in terms of great things to watch – like the men’s and women’s beach volleyball contests last night and tonight.
Ugh! Time for bed!

Now, you all didn’t think Roy would be the ONLY werewolf in the Capes & Babes universe, now did you?
No… there’s a lot more werewolves there. Roy just happens to be the craziest one.
This is also part one of a bigger story so if you asking yourself “where’s the punchline?”, tune in on Friday for more…

Making a little fun of Marc’s “fashion sense” today with something bigger on the horizon.
We won’t make this a “contest” like we did for the Wolverine poster as I still haven’t had time to put the stuff together for Jarmo’s correct guess but if you can tell me who inspired Marc’s crazy fashion sense in that last panel, I will give you a special shout-out here though!
Currently listening to a certain song that “inspired” Marc’s outfit… (Boy, if that’s not a HUGE clue, I don’t know what is!!!)

A few weeks ago, when I attended Heroes Con, I was offering to do convention sketches. The first person to ask me for one was Tom Anders. He requested a Poison Ivy. But you see, I’m a long time caricature artist and sometimes doing caricatures at parks or parties is all about SPEED and I sort of fell into the trap of going back to “caricature mode”. I thought I did an “okay” Poison Ivy for Tom but I always thought I could do a better one.
And so, the idea for this strip stuck in my head for a while so I decided to go ahead and do it again. But once I did it in black and white, I almost immediately realized Poison needed to be in glorious color.
So, there you go folks. Another rare colored strip for Capes & Babes!
I hope you enjoy it!

This strip is actually based on something that happened to me in real life. The only difference between Roy and I was that I was fortunate NOT to be in the shower when the fire alarm was going off…

So, how many of you are getting into the Olympics this year? I wasn’t all that much interested in them… until they actually started. Now, I can’t seem to stop watching them.
Also, I wanted to mention some stuff about Friday’s strip. Here is the significance things about the Wolverine movie poster… THIS poster (in case you missed it):
1) It IS a simplified version of the Wolverine mini-series written by Frank Miller years ago.
2) I did reverse the “cover” from the mini-series.
3) I also would have included his claws but ran out of space.
4) And th significance of “Return to Red Dawn”? Well, that was my nod to the early 80’s teen action flick, “Red Dawn”. In the movie, the kids that wage war against the invading Russian army adopted their high school mascot for the name of their “army” as there’s a famous part of the movie where C. Thomas Howel holds up an automatic weapon and yells “Wolveriiiiiines”!

Or, the San Diego Comic Con in the year 2069…
Of course, if I’m fortunate enough to live this long, I’ll be 102. Maybe by then, I’ll be able to afford to attend the San Diego Comic Con.
Also, if you’re interested in getting some more art from me, list as many significant things as you can about the Wolverine movie poster. The one who lists the most accurate (there’s only a couple) will get some more free art from me.
