Day 20,233 Heard “Mexican Radio” by Wall of Voodoo earlier today, and I forgot how much I enjoy it. So, a quickie doodle, in honor of a good bop. Certainly on a wavelength far from home.

Machine Man / Aaron Stack – in my top 5 robo-dudes in comics, possibly my fave in the Marvel universe. (He competes with “Awesome Android” and villains Arnim Zola and M.O.D.O.K.)
Generally, a superheroic, competent, and non-comedic version of Inspector Gadget, Machine Man originally appeared in the pages of 2001: A Space Odyssey #8 (July 1977), written and drawn by Jack Kirby, where he was called Mister Machine. He went on to appear in his self-titled series in 1978. Machine Man is powered by solar energy and also draws power from several different external energy sources, if needed. He has the ability to telescope his arms and legs to a length of 100 feet (30 m). His hands are equipped with variable-payload hand-parts, some routinely carried in his fingers, others stored in hidden recesses in his belt. His fingers contain a variety of devices, including: a gas chromatograph, laser interferometer, micro-pulse radar, audiometer, seismometer, gravity-wave detector, pulse-code modulator, standard computer input/outputs, radio beacon, all-wave transceiver, laser-cutting torch/weapon, and projection of heat, cold, or electricity; one of his fingers has been shown to contain a bullet-firing mechanism that uses .357 Magnum ammunition. He has the ability of flight under his own power through the means of anti-gravity disks. His feet can also change into wheels, like rollerblades.

The heat has me rooted in place today. Don’t make me go outside until it gets cooler!

Day 20,227
So, the Summer Solstice arrived today, Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 4:50 p.m. Eastern Time. I’m getting shaggy again, so it’s time to trim my vines. Tomorrow, it looks like it will be extremely hot, so any outside time will be strictly on a need-to-go basis, and maybe keep a portal open to Antarctica following me around for a blast of cool air if I need it.
We have fireflies and all sorts of nature out back, and expect some lovely visitors in the coming days and weeks… but I am looking forward to autumn weather.

Testing out Luma Labs’ single image to motion feature with a photo of the new Man-Thing figure (prompt was a lurching walk through a swamp) and the other was Batman of Zur-En-Arrh “walking away after an argument.”

Guess what we found at our friendly neighborhood comics shop? The comic adaptation of Condorman! I had no idea this even existed before today.
Day 20,221
We lie among our atoms, and I speak to you of things And hope sometimes that maybe you will understand There is no order here, and there is no middle ground Nothing can be predicted, and nothing can be planned A star is just the memory of a star We are fireflies pulsing dimly in the dark We are here, and you are where you are
