NOTES:

 

The Impossibles was a series of animated cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1966 and aired on American television by CBS. The series of shorts (6 minutes) appeared as part of Frankenstein Jr. and The Impossibles.

The Impossibles were a trio of rock and roll musicians. When contacted by "Big D" (voiced by Paul Frees) about criminal activities in Empire City, they became superheroes. Like the Monkees, the group’s appearance (in their musician form) was based on 1960s pop star stereotypes, which included somewhat long hair, brightly colored (and matching) outfits, high-heeled boots, screaming female fans and, unlike the Monkees, no percussion or bass instruments. Nothing is known about their personal lives, although Fluid Man once mentioned having an Aunt Tilly. They seemed to have secret identities though even a little child would have no trouble connecting the singing Impossibles to the hero Impossibles on appearance alone. They also seemed to change to their "secret identities" in front of the crowds they were playing to when given a mission.

Impossibles

 

In their guise as musicians, The Impossibles played their futuristic-looking guitars atop an equally futuristic bandstand that could convert into a car which, in turn, could transform into either a van, a submarine or boat which did not need a driver. Their standard catch cry, when called into action, was "Rally ho!" Their humorous dialogue was peppered with puns. As with many Hanna-Barbera characters, The Impossibles were very loosely styled after an existing famous trio, in this case The Three Stooges. Each member of The Impossibles had specific superhuman powers:

 

Coil Man (voiced by Hal Smith) - Seemingly the group's leader, short, blond Coily could transform his limbs into impossibly stretchable springs, with his human arms and legs becoming coiled springs, allowing him to bounce to avoid attacks, deliver long-ranged punches and drill through walls. Coil Man usually drove the Impossijet, and his guitar contained a small TV receiver through which "Big D" could contact the group and deliver orders (Big D used Multi Man's guitar in "The Fiendish Dr Futuro," "Beamatron," and "The Diabolical Dauber"). Coil Man's costume was purple and pink and included a crested helmet. He could be held in place by a magnet, implying that he was at least partially made of metal.

Fluid Man (voiced by Paul Frees) - Dark-haired Fluid Man, aka Fluey, could morph parts of his body into a liquid form, a talent perfect for sneaking up on an enemy though a water faucet. He could also vapor himself into a cloud or storm. His costume resembled a green wetsuit and swimfins. He could however be soaked up and trapped by a sponge, or frozen solid inside a block of ice.

Multi Man (voiced by Don Messick) - Multi could create infinite duplicates of himself which were often destroyed, leaving only the original behind. His duplicates rarely, if ever, functioned independently, and were often used as camouflage, a bluff, for extra strength or transportation (he could fly by continuously creating replicas above himself). When duplicating himself, he could push tons of rocks out of the way or crack the solid concrete he and the others were entombed in. The character had orange hair covering his eyes and occasionally held a shield for what seems decorative reasons, though he has used it at least twice. In one instance, Multi repelled bullets with his bare hand (Fero, the Fiendish Fiddler), however it may be the shield was supposed to have been used but was accidentally left undrawn. Multi Man's angular, red and black costume included a short, red cape. A physical trait that he shared with many of his contemporaries in cartoons and comics was a mop of orange hair that entirely covered his eyes. Favourite saying: "But you missed the original".

Villains

The Impossibles faced many bizarre villains, similar to those Batman and Superman had to face:

 

The Perilous Paper Doll Man (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain who had the ability to change into any form of paper.

Beamatron, The Laser Beam Man - A supervillain who shot laser beams from his fingers, lasers had short battery lives.

The Bubbler - A supervillain who attacked with almost unbreakable bubbles.

The Burrower - A supervillain who burrowed under banks and pilfered the money inside.

Fero, the Fiendish Fiddler - A supervillain who, despite his attire making him look like a caricature of Nero, could send people and objects to anywhere he wished with a hi-tech violin.

Televisitron - A supervillain who used a remote control to send his foes into various channels of the television to do them in.

The Puzzler - A supervillain who had the ability to change shape due to being a living puzzle. Notably, he is the only villain given an origin, as he mentions having fallen into a jigsaw-making machine which gave him his abilities.

The Insidious Inflator - A supervillain who attacked places with giant balloons that he brought to life by using a special ray-gun.

Spinner - A supervillain with spider-based powers.

Professor Stretch - A supervillain with elasticity.

Smogula - A supervillain that floats in a rain cloud and wields a weather ray-gun.

All villains were defeated in a timely manner and justice was always served. Some villains were made to serve a useful purpose and even went straight upon their capture:

 

The Artful Archer - A supervillain who was dressed like Robin Hood; decided to take up being a musician.

Cronella Critch - A witch who was robbing a charity-for-orphans party. She was turned into a cat due to a spell reversal by Multi-Man.

Dr. Futuro - A villain from the 40th century, who travelled to the 1960s in order to steal a gold brick to finance his crimes. He accidentally ran into an age-reversing machine, and was turned into a baby.

An ad for the Saturday morning cartoon lineup in comic books of the time referred to "the Bubbler," "Bratfink," and "The Sponge".

Listen to today's story

 

Several cans of beans later, and Mrs PB had recovered enough to begin an inquiry.

 

Why had she been left for so long? Where had Mr Fox been? He followed her around like a bad smell most the time, so why wasn't he there when she needed him?!

 

Rather than risking the wrath of Mrs PB's undrawn rolling pin, Mr Fox decided this time it would be safer to employ Foxi mind tricks.

 

After all, Mrs PB can be rather formidable with a rolling pin.

This drawing took about 45 minutes, I had to pause on the particularly potholey bits of road, and going round swingy corners; 17:03 is when I stopped drawing. I've made tiny little continuous line drawings of individual people on the bus before, but nothing this involved. I got pretty shoogled around in the process of drawing some lines, just left them as the went down though.

 

None of the people in the drawing were on the bus at the same time, and none were on the bus when I finished the drawing. I used to draw strangers a lot, and invariably part of a couple or family would remain undrawn if the models upped and left. I would plug gaps with new people and was frequently surprised by how easily people who had never sat together 'sat' comfortably together in a drawn world. I gave the girl with the guitar some sepia and payne's grey when I got home; just to pull her out a bit.

  

See all 28 drawings together!

This is an ongoing postal photography project. I mail matchbox pinhole cameras loaded with photographic paper to participants, inviting them to photograph 'what cannot be seen'. The cameras are then returned to me to be processed, accompanied by an explanation of what the participant has photographed.

"Sitting in the living room looking out the back door, I saw the house opposite with two windows - one curtains drawn, one curtains undrawn. You can see in one window but not in the other."

 

Andrew L

 

(I think his name was Chris...)

 

Chris is an avid pro-life supporter. I spoke with him today for about an hour. He was very rational, unlike many people of his 'type'.

 

The flags behind him represent the 3,500 abortions performed per day, which means 1.3 million per year. This number is about correct, I did some quick googling to confirm it. That means about 27 million (reported) abortions have been performed in my lifetime. He referred to it as genocide, and I don't really disagree. Although abortion, I believe, in certain cases should be allowed, rape, incest, etc, he says that those types of abortions are less than 5% of the total. (I didn't research to see if that was correct)

 

He goes to the "abortion mill" (clinic) every weekend to pray and talk to the girls that go in, not harass them, he says. He's been going there every weekend for 2 years. He's been to all the ones in Dallas (around 30).

 

Here he diplays a somber face for the millions lost.

 

Lines are hard to draw. Should they be left undrawn?

One of the best places to stroll around post dinner. Not only is it chocolate box pretty, but it is the custom to demonstrate that one has 'nothing to hide' so people tend to leave their shutters open and curtains undrawn until its really late. So for the nosy parkers like me, it was pure interior design porn heaven.

Affectionately know as Pat's drawer, they are kept for historical reasons.

 

I'm agonizing whether to crop it tighter or not.

I recently went to Paris for a couple of days with Elise to hang out and drink coffee. Like so many before me I think that the Paris cupid (in pers comms, Pete) has hit me, and I wish to go back for a good few months and live the Parisian way, they have really got it going over there. Here is Elise on Pont St Michel.

For the third ball, I tried something different. I traced the pattern on the back of only one red rectangle of the three, and stitched the other two rectangles to it, without marking anything on them, but keeping the rectangle edges lined up. Then I lined up the internal pattern with the stitches on one side - the neater one - and traced the undrawn half on the third panel, and sewed it around to the first to close it up, but did this last stitch in two parts to leave that opening you can see at the top of the fin that's sticking up. Then I used pinking shears that I got at the fabric store today to cut around the stitches, leaving just a little bit of room. My guess was that this would help the fabric crinkle up inside better, without creating the warps seen in some older attempts.

This was my first attempt to draw the bench. I like images of man-made things becoming overwhelmed by vegetation. But they're not easy to draw. Sometimes you have to leave spaces undrawn.

QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY PARADE, 8 JUNE 2019

 

Two grooms, a captain in the Blues and Royals with undrawn sword and four troopers of the Blues and Royals.

  

From the Court Circular:

Royal Salutes were fired today by The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park and from the Tower of London Saluting Battery by the Honourable Artillery Company, under the command of Major Edward Shanklyn.”

 

All the data... it's lost! Lost!

Pick one of your rivals to suffer your wrath. The top three undrawn cards in his Plot deck are discarded. No one may look at them.

Play this card at any time. It requires an action by your illuminati, or by Computer Group(s) with a total Power of 3 or more.

An unseen ruler defines with geometry

An unrulable expanse of geography

An aerial photographer over-exposed

To the cartologist's 2D images knows

The areas where the water flowed

So petrified, the landscape grows

Straining eyes try to understand

The works, incessantly in hand

The carving and paring of the land

The quarter square, the graph divides

Beneath the rule, a country hides

 

Interrupting my train of thought

Lines of longitude and latitude

Define and refine my altitude

 

The curtain's undrawn

Harness fitted, no escape

Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland

Landscape, canal, canard, water coloured

 

Crystal palaces for floral kings

A widespread waving span of wings

Witness the sinking of the sun

A deep breath of submission has begun

A Flyer I made for a party at my house. I must have had some course work due or something...
