As if the pictures weren’t horrifying enough, further evidence of the humiliations of Mark, Tommy, Ali and myself at May’s Trapped By Monsters event at Lincoln Book Festival has just emerged in the form of this video, by Julie Catterson.

Thanks, Julie. You really shouldn’t have. ;D

PS: Mark has trained in Tae Kwon Do and knife-throwing. So I for one will not smirk or giggle until he’s safely out of the room. ;p

When I’m sitting here in the depths of the caves, all alone except for my pet earwig, Kenneth, sometimes I can’t help but feel a little downbeat.

To lighten my mood I like nothing more than to have a look at my favourite animations on the Marmite-powered computer in Cave 23b – like this splendid classic from the magnificent Vancouver Film School – A Great Big Robot From Outer Space Ate My Homework.

(How much do you wish you had a giant alien robot like this when you’ve forgotten to do your homework?)

Excellent stuff! I’ll post another of my animation fave’s sometime soon.

But for n.. KENNETH! Get OFF the keyboard you silly earwig! Don’t press those butto%vvbabsvhgswetev*^%!knsbna.s,@’A,a[a]smmsu xnx ebc9sm }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}Ss;;s00987aa’+la;l;”;\abggwqlphs/lyeyeteysnksgsvs xiw~A###

A while back Tommy posted the interview he gave at Holmesdale Technology College in Kent.

Well, I was there too! And I also gave an interview. In fact, for some it, Tommy was sitting at the back making faces at me. It was a little distracting. But only a little. Because, as you’ll see from the interview, I was distracted by many other things as well.

So much so that I rambled on for twice as long as I was meant to, and they had to split the interview into 2 parts. I don’t have much memory of either half, to be honest. But watching back now, I think the second half is a bit more entertaining. Have a go with the first half, but then don’t forget to check out the second half too, because like all good sequels, it takes things to a whole new level.

To give you a flavour of the interview before you watch, here are some of the things I talk about: my shirt, the Queen, Tony Blair, the Spice Girls, Latin, inspiration, top hats, Borat, my drinking problem, monkeys, the ‘nodules’ on bottles… and much more.

Here’s the interview, in 2 parts…

If you haven’t seen it yet, be warned: the evidence of this video by Cyriak (via Boing Boing) seems incontrovertible. I can’t decide what’s more horrifying: the giant spider cow, the species’ hitherto unknown ability to turn into a cow puddle then revert Terminator 2 style or the way, at the end, they stand around pretending they didn’t do anything and everything’s perfectly normal.

Previously: Are Owls Monsters?

After viewing this video I’m not sure. Watch out for the transformation into ‘Evil Owl.’

Thanks to my mate Simon J for sending me the link.

Next: Are Cows Monsters?

This has been cheering me up for several months now…

The animator’s name is Ross Butter and here is a blog where you can see more of his work.

I particularly like the style of blue dude with the long neck. But the pterodactyl is a fine dancer too.

Happy Easter weekend everybody. Here’s a monster singing a song and eating bunnies, just like they do in the cave here:
The Muppets: Stand By Me
