Web comics, Motion comics

Folks-

There was some interest expressed in posting links to some of the sites mentioned in my motion comics presentation. Here they are:

www.nishere.com — This is the Marvel/Stephen King site with sophisticated artwork.

www.thewebcomiclist.com — Large selection of web comics

www.thetalosproject.com — Sci-fi with cool designwork and 3D characters.

www.invincibleseries.com — Superhero with dynamic animation (even the word balloons!)

How about a title?

Nothing else to report except that I finished this drawing but don't have a title for it. Any ideas? Just click on it to see larger image.

Not a Christmas tree ornament

Let's put aside the subject of self-aware robots trying to kill all humans and concentrate on the subject of aliens from outer space that want to enslave humanity.

Check out the link below for cool video of a UFO over Costa Rica being filmed by a mildly drunk guy who urges his kids to bring him his rum and coke. He offers some interesting commentary as we hear his fam in the background. The real question, though, is WHAT IS HE FILMING?! Seems authentic. From January of this year. Click HERE.

Lots of aliens, just very far away

Dr. Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution of Science — speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science recently — said that there could be one hundred billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy.

So far, about 300 planets have been discovered in distant solar systems through special detection techniques. Boss estimates that, on average, each sun-like star has about one "Earth-like" planet.

He told BBC News, "Not only are they probably habitable but they are probably going to be inhabited.... I think that most likely the nearby 'Earths' are going to be inhabited with things which are perhaps more common to what Earth was like three or four billion years ago."

Recent studies at Edinburgh University suggest that there could be thousands of intelligent civilizations in space.

Perhaps those civilized beings look like the creature in the last Retro Picture Quiz post?
