Mash-Up: Charles M. Schultz - Kamandi Wallpaper

Charles M. Schultz and

Kamandi Wallpapers

(I would like to acknowledge and thank Paul Montgomery from iFanboy for the idea of the Charles M. Schultz and Kamandi Mash-Up.)

For fun, I decided to make a series of Desktop Wallpapers in various sizes of the Charles M. Schultz and Kamandi mash-up.  Click on the size you need for your computer to open the full-size picture and it should open to a full-size of the image.  When it is done loading up, you can right-click on the image to either "Set as Desktop Background", or save it to your computer, then right-click again on the picture and choose to "Set as Desktop Background".  It should be that simple!  :-)

Thanks, and good luck!

Mash-Up: Charles M. Schulz and OMAC

MASH-UP:
Charles M. Schulz and O.M.A.C.

(I would like to acknowledge and thank Paul Montgomery from iFanboy for the idea of the Charles M. Schulz and Kamandi Mash-Up.)

O.M.A.C. (One Man Army Corps) was another one of those short-lived Jack Kirby creations that I just thought was so cool when I first discovered the comic.  A bullied office drone, Buddy Blank, receives a command from an orbiting satellite, Brother Eye, and becomes a One Man Army Corps.  The first issue involved a crazy, corporate world; a United Nations type organization, the Global Peace Agency, the agents of which disguised themselves so you would not be able to tell their nationality; and assassin escorts which were exploding robots.  The first issue was so great to my fevered imagination, that the following issues just didn't quite live up to that one.  But, I still enjoyed the heck out of that series.

And, they retconned OMAC to be Kamandi's grandpa.  So, he sorta fit in this Mash-Up.

I also liked John Byrne's four issue, black-and-white, prestige format OMAC series from the early 1990's.  But, I never really got too much into the new OMAC Series, or the one before that in which there were a lot blue robots/cyborgs with metal mohawks.  I think Batman created Brother Eye or something like that... Just before they rebooted all their continuity.  It was so far removed from Kirby's creation that I didn't connect to it in the same way I did with the original.  I've often toyed with the idea of doing a submission of OMAC to DC Comics.  Maybe, someday...  :-)

Mash-Up: Charles M Schulz - Ben Boxer and Dr. Canus

MASH UP: 

Charles M. Schulz and 

Ben Boxer and Dr. Canus

It's Ben Boxer from the "Kamandi" series as I imagine Charles M. Schulz would do it.  Ben Boxer, and other humans in Kamandi's time, had a "Cyclo-Heart" and if the circle above the heart is pressed, he became covered in an indestructible metal shell and looking almost like the Silver Surfer.  Cool stuff!

Here is Dr. Canus, also from "Kamandi".  He was a talking, humanoid dog... and a scientist.  In his case, he literally thought he was the leader and the humans were the pets.  So, in Jack Kirby's future, I guess dogs become just like cats are today.

Kamandi was another one of those Jack Kirby creations that I picked up when I was in my late teens, about the same time I discovered "The Eternals", "OMAC", and his run on "Captain America".   Vaguely, it was sort of Last Boy on Earth meets "Planet of the Apes", with some other sci-fi elements mixed in.  His name comes from a misunderstanding, as he was raised in Command D (Command D/Kamandi).  I really thought it was a fun series.  The humanoid animals (lions, tigers, dogs and apes, mostly) believed in a Garden of Eden called "The Washington Zuu".  I mean, how great is that?  :-D
