META: A brief pause

Posted on April 7, 2009 | 27 comments

I’m pretty buried working on HM3, so I am taking a break and canceling this week’s Caption Contest. Sorry folks, but I am way behind and am spending all my energy on drawing HM3 items. Some time today or tomorrow I should be done with all the facial items — Ears, Eyes, Noses, Mouths, and Eyebrows — and have them posted. Until then the posting’s going to be fairly light.

I’ll announce the winner of the previous Caption Contest some time tonight, after I get a chance to go through them all. Apologies again for the delays.

Reason #8: The writing makes it even worse.

Posted on April 3, 2009 | 29 comments

We already know Liefeld’s art is lame, but when attached to his writing or humor, it gets even lamer. “But Jeff,” you might say, “that’s like saying something is more infinite than infinity or more immovable than the immovable.” And you would have a point, O Anonymous Internet Philosopher Who Sounds An Awful Lot Like The Voices In My Head, but this is no ordinary art we’re talking about. This crap’s transcendent.

Witness the following one-panel, “Far Side”-style “humor” panels Liefeld produced in 2001. Be warned:

Not For The Weak.

HM3: Sleeveless tops

Posted on April 2, 2009 | 30 comments

At the urging of the much-better-than-me-at-matching-things Mark Shute, I have added about a dozen variations to the items in the TopsMaleStandard set that consist of vests with the sleeves removed. I need to add a TopsMaleSleeves set to complement this, allowing you to swap various sleeve configurations in and out.
