Hot Handset

Ghost Rider.
Sure, he may be a superhero, but he suffers the same technology issues as normal people.

Overheating handsets is nothing new. Older mobiles used to do it a lot. And the new smartphones of today have their own overheating problems too.
And there are many possible reasons why mobile phones / smartphones will overheat.
With all of the technology and components packed into these modern marvels, you have to expect some output to be undesirable.

So what are the reasons they overheat? They are many and varied. Experts & technicians will have a plethora of reason on why these devices may have temperature spikes at times. But I think that this response I found online is the best one ever, when addressing this issue:

Q: Why do cell phones overheat?
A: Because you use them to much.

Simple. ’nuff said.
If you have read this far, then you obviously have nothing better to do.
So, in that case, I will share something with you that I have just come to realise :
I have a sub-theme of comics developing, which depict Superheroes having issues with modern techology and adjusting to an online life.
Ok, so there are only six of them so far but I am sure there will be more to follow.

Masters of Business

He-Man. Master of Business
I really like drawing He-Man and his pals.
The absolutely ridiculous amount of muscle on him and the other “Masters of the Universe” make them lots of fun to sketch.
I have a feeling there will be more “Masters of Business” to follow this one.

I have a major fanboy crush on the original TV show “Monkey Magic”. It is one of the shows I grew up watching and it is still one of my favourite programs to this day.

The show was unique for it’s time and has influenced countless books, cartoons, TV shows and artists. It was fun, thrilling and yet it still also taught you life lessons if you took the time to listen.

As well as Monkey Magic, I also like ghosts, so I decided it was time to combine these two things and see what eventuated.
The results can be seen here on my flickr site, where I have posted the full set of these Monkey Magic ghosts. Hopefully, you can tell who is who amongst this lot.
I will be releasing this as a limited edition print soon, so stay tuned to hear more about that.

Wakka Leaks

Don’t listen to this guy.  He is such a muppet.

A lot of people have jumped onto the WikiLeaks bandwagon recently which inspired me to create and share this comic.
There is a lot of differing opinion on WikiLeaks,  both positive and negative. It is such a polarising media event, that the word”WikiLeaks” hasnow entered into the common  usage in everyday language.
That is pretty hard to do.

Personally, I support WikiLeaks. The site and what it stands for.
Not Julian Assange.
I can make a very clear distinction between the two, which (unfortunately) many others cannot do.
Julian has become part of the equation,which I feel gives the non-supporters more ammunition to work with, in order to bring down WikiLeaks.
This is not right, in my opinion,  as I feel that the information released through the site is vital in this day and age.
The public should be kept informed about the decisions and deals that our government,or the military, make on our behalf.

If WikiLeaks is ever shutdown or banned, it will be a great shame.
But I take comfort in knowing that if the death of WikiLeaks occurred, numerous smaller sites would pop-up right away, to fill the void.

After all, the internet is the “information superhighway” and the Truth should always be out there.
