Ziggy: The Remakes

Last week Meg brought up the fact that we weren't really meeting a particular google-searcher's needs:

Megalodon:

Search Keyword Activity for the Last 3 Days
...
5 ziggy
3 ziggy cartoon
...

Earl Sleek:

I now feel kind of bad that we’re not offering more Ziggy.

Megalodon:

Get to work, cartoon boy!

And so I did, drawing three pretty fun but pretty lazy Ziggy cartoons. They were all uncolored, not fully legible, and only got inserted in the comments section of others' posts.  But I liked the stupid pun jokes in them, so I did a little coloring and typing this morning.  The results aren't always better -- sketches do have their charm, and many of you have seen these jokes before -- but now we have an official landing post for our determined Ziggy googler.

Star-divide

Just like George Lucas, here's me remastering a trilogy...

A New Ziggy:

Ziggy Strikes Back:

Ziggy2c_medium

Return of the Ziggy:

Oh, Ziggy -- will you ever earn your overpriced contract?  :)

Go Plagiarism.

Yeah, as you can tell, I think there is a fairly rigid joke pattern that Ziggy cartoons must adhere to, and a confused pet is almost always part of that equation.

Apparently

it turns out that Ziggy was just a clone of Funky Winkerbean that wasn’t given a rapid aging hormone so Funky could raise him like a son.

I’m liking the printed text over the hand-drawn word bubbles. I might start doing that a bit more, as the word bubble in power point isn’t always the most flexible.

Also, some day I might stop using power point. :)

Did the Mighty Ducks’ original colors come from a desire to mash the other two California teams together, Mets-style? Take the teal from the Sharks and purple from the Kings? Or have the Kings only added purple since then and it just worked out that way?

So anyways, in speculative Doughty news

There is no final "deal" yet. I told you earlier that there are 2 potential offers on the table, one for 9 years and one for 7. I have now learned that the 7 year deal may be the winner and it comes in at or about $52 million. At $52 million, that is a staggering $7.42 million per season cap hit.

I don’t know if it’s that staggering — it’s going to be a high number, and the seven years would be nice, I’d think.

It’s only a “deal”? Why the “quotations”? Is there something “shifty” going “on”?
