Here at Blind Ferret we are always sensitive to your boob related news and this week the world nods its collective head at the world of breast implants and it's fiftieth anniversary. At least in the modern medical annals. There have been centuries of various attempts to bolster the boobs before but they sound even more tragic than the 20th century attempts at enhancements. Most of this long journey into greater cup sizes has resulted in lawsuits as implants either burst or degraded after being installed, resulting in class action lawsuits and internet searches for botched plastic surgery. Of course, those are the sad tales. There are plenty of happy women who have augmented their sizes, or been able to benefit from advances in reconstructive surgery after the ravages of cancer or accidents.
Whether you prefer them large or small, real or false, we salute you with a 21 motorboat salute. BRBRBRBRBRBRB!!!
The past month has been crazy busy with spring conventions and other adventures. C2E2, the MS Walk and the dying of my hair and beard, Calgary Comic Expo, FCBD, Ottawa ComicCon.... whoosh!! I'm jonesing for my Ustream fix!! Tonight from 8pm till midnight I'll be back online with some new silly tunes to warm you up and more art on the board to draw. I had thought of making this an Art SpectacuLAR but with next week being Phoenix Comic Con I'm still kind of frantic getting things together. We'll have it instead after PHCC. That gives you two weeks to zap me your art related questions to address.
I hope you'll drop by and get reacquainted with the mods, the chatroom and the general party that is the ustream. See you at 8pm EST!
We are pleased to announce that the good people behind Drakensang are sponsoring the site for the month. What is Drakensang, you might ask, besides some horrible misspelling?
Drakensang Online is a 3D fantasy themed browser hack-n-slash style MMORPG that’s loosely based off of the popular PC game series known as The Dark Eye. Players must embark on a mysterious adventure in a medieval land that is corrupted by evil. Fight legions of gruesome monsters. Explore challenging dungeons and team up with friends. Master the mighty sword or practice the art of magic while on your journey to becoming a hero.
From what I’m gathering from that, you’re Cale, surrounded by enemies. Sound familiar?
Help support LFG, play a fun game and get a great deal of free items to make your adventuring a tad easier. Oh, and did I neglect to mention the exclusive LFG/Drakensang comic? That’d be coming soon.
As many of you know, I am something of a hat guy. Recently I kicked my heels, held my breath until I turned blue and refused to eat my vegetables until Sohmer gave me a new hat. Actually, until he gave US a new hat. A most magnificent and wondrous hat!! The Richard Fez!!!
We've been working closely with the fine gents over at Fez-O-Rama, the best source for cool fezzes on the Internets, to make this a reality and boy-howdy, they've delivered!! The Richard fez is custom sized out of textured black velvet with everyone's bestest psycho undead warlock embroidered on the front. Make no mistake, this is a prestige item and depending upon response it may not be offered beyond this initial pre-order because of its cost and the labour involved in individual sizing, making it a very limited item.
Now I hear what you're saying. You're saying "Unca Lar, I'm not a hat guy." or "Unca Lar, I don't think I'm a fez guy." To that I reply "Nonsense!" The fez does all the work to make you look awesome. Trust me, if anyone knows what it's like to look goofy without a hat, it's me. So break open your piggy banks, dip into your trust funds, and who really needs that university degree anyhow?
It would please me no end to see readers at future conventions sporting the Richard fez. Stand out in the crowd with this most fwooshable of apparel! Please order one today so I can waggle my finger at Sohmer and say "see!! I'm not crazy!" before I spill my coffee all over him. Purely by accident of course.
