Drawing by Robin Bougie (Cinema Sewer)

Haven't been on LJ in quite awhile but looking through archives of updates I found Robin Bougie has posted the drawing he sketched up for me in my ordered copy of his new Cinema Sewer Vol. 3 book! Totally sweet!



From what he's currently saying on his LJ blog, it looks like his fab offer on a free drawing in an order of his book still stands. The book is thick and worth the $20 price in the first place. I'd urge you to run over to his LJ here:

and check to see if the offer still stands, and if it does... take him up on it! Bougie's shit rawks, yeh!

"Itadakimasu" by Machiko (Pixiv)



An image by "Machiko" (マチ子) titled "Itadakimasu" (いただきます). The text in the description on her pixiv page here: [http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=9256119] seems to indicate that it illustrates the artist eating her own self. It's a beautiful image, anyways! The derpy starry eyes, blue hearts on nipples, and cute little bow-wearing bunny rabbit are all nice touches too, don't you think?
So here is one of the rare prizes I picked up while living over in Japan, a little game book called "Kingdom of Darkness' Great King Mokumoku" (くらやみ王国のモクモlク大王) which is like a choose your own adventure entirely drawn in a comic style. Most of the time you pick which path through the story you want to take and occasionally are presented with mazes or puzzles which lead to various outcomes. The book appears to be from a series drawn by Yousuke Tamori (田森庸介) centering around the main character Nekomaru (ねこ丸) and introducing his little sister Mikemaru (みけ丸).

I'll go ahead and post some of the death endings you can get in the book. Although it seems the tactic in this book is to have the character Hakuunsai Sensei (はくうんさいせんせい) lead one back to the page where they made the fatal mistake, instead of putting a "The End" type of outcome.

Clicking on the thumbnails here will lead to a full scan of the pages.


death by refrigerator!


death by trash incinerator!


distracted into failure via giant hotcakes!


falling through a pitfall!


Becoming a meal for Kumokumo the spider king!


Sinking into the goopy head of the muddy monster Hedoron!


Getting shoved into a trash bin!


Sent far into the past to fall prey to dinosaurs!


Blown away by Sumogguraa!


Overeating at Candy Mountain!
 


Crushed in hand by King Mokumoku!

I was reminded of these illustrators earlier today and how much I've enjoyed their work in illustrating fairy tales and the like. I figured I'd scan in some of their art from a particularly nice fairy tale book I have that they lavishly illustrated. I can't help but notice how much they often like to illustrate rather shapely young male asses... rawr! Jus' saying!







Wonder Woman n' stuff...

Someone directed me to this article on ComiXology via a link a little while ago talking about Wonder Woman in relation to the new show that's coming out soon. I have to admit I'm not really a fan of super hero comics and never really read them much as a kid either, still... I'm somewhat amused by an excerpt from an old Wonder Woman comic that was posted in that article. I'll re-post it here with a bit of levels correction (the one on the article seemed a little washed-out looking to me).



Yummy Filth, care of M. Shirow's Orion

I was always a bit confused by this scene from Masamune Shirow's Orion comic book. Are they intending to eat her entirely or just eat the "filth" from her ass?



Either way, having the monster here licking her ass crack is pretty hawt! Yum yum, indeed.



Here's a full scan of the comic in question for y'all.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos 3-D comic scan

Back in the 80s we used to have an Apple IIc computer in the house that I would often play games on. I was especially fond of text-based adventures like Zork and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. One of these Infocom games was called "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" which was a text adventure that leaned towards the racy side of things. There were three different levels of naughtiness in the game from "tame", to "suggestive", to "lewd".

I learned how to unlock the Lewd mode pretty quick when I was a kid, but I was never good enough at playing the game to ever get to any of the real "raunchy" bits of the game. Still, the idea that I was playing some kind of "forbidden game" was kinda' exciting to me at that age and I would frequently sneak it into the computer when my parents weren't around .

Anyways, it came packed with some extra gimmicky stuff. One of them was a scratch and sniff pad that corresponded to different points in the game (smells of pizza, mothballs, and the like). Another item was a 3-D "Lane Mastadon" comic book which included a scene that likely contributed to my growing interest in seeing pretty women getting eaten alive (click on the image for larger version):

Excerpt Page from Leather Goddesses of Phobos 3-D comic

As I recall, there's also a part I was able to get to in the game where you can be eaten and digested by a giant venus flytrap. I'll have to see if I can fish up the text from that some day and post it here.

Zork - Caverns of Doom (one ending)

I thought it would be fun to post these scans of pages leading to one of the various endings in the What-Do-I-Do-Now gamebook “Zork: The Cavern of Doom”. I might make a habit of posting some of these gamebook deaths from time to time since it is one of the many things that inspired me when I was young.

Although I have physical copies of these books, they were online for awhile here at Home of the Underdogs. However, it seems like the link to the Zork books from there is currently 404.

戦慄!!タコ少女 (excerpt)

Thought I’d throw up these scans from a copy of the second volume of the comic called “Senritsu!! Tako Shoujo” or “Terrible!! Octopus Girl” by Yamazaki Toru. The main character in this scene isn’t the octopus girl but rather her friend who was grafted onto a moray eel. Other than that, I’m not going to really do any out and out translation here. If you can read it, enjoy it… otherwise look at the pictures, or know that Dark Horse comics has released an English version.

I bought a couple of these horror story books for kids while I was living in Japan last year called “Heisei Uwasa no Kaidan” (平成うわさの怪談) which translates roughly to “Heisei-era Rumored Ghost Stories”. They are mostly filled with easy to read scary stories with illustrations although the inside covers and middle of the books have comics drawn by the illustrator. Thought I’d scan this one in since it involves a kid being eaten by a basketball (not something you see every day).

The text reads:

こんなうわさ、しってる? (do you know this rumor/story?)

① 体育のあと、かたづけをしていると、ボールがひとつころがっていた。 (after gym, while cleaning up, a single ball rolls over.)

② ボールをひろって、かごにいれようとしたら…… (pick it up with the intention of putting it in the cage……)

③ 急にボールが悪魔の顔になり…… (suddenly the ball turns into the face of a demon……) クワッ! (“kuwa” / sfx for eyes opening in a menacing fashion).

(④) カジ カジ (“kaji kaji” / chewing sfx from the word 齧る ”kajiru” which means to “chew” or “bite” or the like).
