An alien named Gummy
April 28th 2007 05:04
Via a challenge from the Link and Blog Challenge crew called Technorati Tuesday, I came across a blog that lives some strange life of its own. The Ordinary Folk blog, which is
subtitled, Music, an alien named Gummy, and a boatload of rambling, is the rambling part of Mike (who apparently has no surname) as opposed to his creative side. That appears on another blog altogether, where his cartoons mostly reside. The cartoons focus on two creatures in a rather bare landscape who do minimal things in vivid colour.
What Mike has done is take the typical vertically-slanted eyes of aliens from any number of Hollywood movies and added them to pudgy bodies, one green (the male) and one pink (the female, obviously – plus she’s got a little blue ribbon tied in a bow). Thank goodness, for once, they don’t have those long stick bodies that Hollywood has given many aliens, and which seem to be potentially useless in any real world situation.
The male is called Gummy, and he’s a lovesick alien who’s wandered the Universe in search of love (well, duh!). Eventually he meets up with Bella (the pink one) and the cartoons are about their ongoing relationship and…other things. Minimal things, but apparently plenty of people keep coming back to check out what those minimal things are.
If you’re interested in Mike’s cartoons, click here. Otherwise check out his boatload of rambling first, where you can still find your way back to the cartoons.
