Moss Piglet (April 2024):
Green
OK, this is probably the dumbest submission I made to "Moss Piglet" (and that's saying something), a small art magazine out of Wisconsin I've been contributing to the past couple years. They use a monthly theme for it's publication. This time it was "Green" and I figured the result would work just fine for my Nerdy/Geeky Blog.
The first thought for "Green" was Kermit the Frog, which was the obvious answer. Next I thought about Godzilla... Then, hey, why not both? So Kermit-Zilla as a giant Kaiju destroying Japan it is. Of course, I realized just as I submitted it that I had used almost the same setup for almost the same joke involving the Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles in Japan:
Ah, well. It's a joke good enough to be told twice! (That's the lie I'm gonna keep tellin' 'til people believe me!)

Oh, hey, now that I think of it, I did the Cover and Back-Cover for the March 2024 (Self-Portrait), which is fitting for an egomaniac such as myself.
