The Line It Is Drawn: Monica Munster

Last year, CBR's The Line It Is Drawn posted their MMM pieces on April 1st, missing the short March window this blog upholds.  We lead this year's celebration with those pieces.

MODOK For Brain Cancer Awareness

From The Line It Is Drawn, Week 291 from May 2016:

This week is a special theme. Caanan Grall, one of the original artists on the Line it is Drawn and the creator of the excellent Max Overacts, sadly has a brain tumor. He is getting it operated on Tuesday and he asked if we could do a special Line about cancer and tumors this week, with him making suggestions and the artists also choosing ideas of their own. While we were planning this, sadly Darwyn Cooke also passed away from cancer. Caanan suggested we expand it to a general anti-cancer week. Cooke was from Canada and Caanan lives in Canada, thus we thought it would be nice to mention that Cooke’s family requested that anyone interested in donating to charity in honor of Cooke send the money to the Canadian Cancer Society or to The Hero Initiative. Meanwhile, the Gralls have a GoFundMe that has been generously funded so far, but you know that they could use even more, as they deal with Caanan being out of work for months.

John has returned once more for a March full of Mindblasts and writes,

Greetings!  :-)

What?  Is it March already?  Have you really been doing this for 10 Years?  Have I really been submitting for 5 years, now?  Where does the time go?  Why am I pestering you with another submission?  Couldn't I do a better submission?  Am I asking too many questions?

Happy 10th Anniversary!

More later?

We hope there is more MODOK John, The month is young. 
Visit Mr. Douglas over at https://johndouglasart.blogspot.com/.

Keep on Mindblasting,

M.O.D.E.C.K'd by Marc Basile - Illustrator/ Designer

Marc has kick-flipped his way into another year of MODOK Madness with this sweet deck design.
Personally, I'm always happy when artists come back with fresh Mindblasts (and artwork) after all these years, gets a nice balance of inspiration and nostalgia.

Scope out more work from Marc over @marcbasile.blogspot.com
You'll be happy you did.

A Little Bit of MODOK.

March is for MODOK!

Ten Years.

Hard to imagine that we've been sharing this experience every March now for such a notable slice of time.  What is the the Tenth Anniversary gift anyway? Paper? I don't really know.

So, I'll kick off my 2017 submissions with this little pixel based MODOK, and get cracking on some new drawings in the days to come.

I'd also like to sincerely thank my cohort (and fellow Beekeeper) Brendan Tobin for keeping the Mindblasts fully powered this year, and being an all around awesome guy.

Looking forward to seeing all the submissions this March.
So let's make some MODOK,
Pedro

NINE MONTHS of MODOK

NINE YEARS!?!?

Pencils DOWN!

Another year of MODOKS in March has come and gone, those 31 days seem to get a little shorter every year.  But, they are always fun because MODOK brings in a loyal fan base of genuinely talented folks who are awesome all the way around.  Big thanks to all those who support the blog and visit to share your time, talent, and, artwork with others who'd rather toss around Mindblasts as opposed to some jibber-jabber about brackets.   Your submissions make this blog fun, and I thank you all for that.

Also, tremendous thanks to my blogging cohort (and MODOK mentor) Brendan Tobin who met me in a bar nine years ago when we collectively decided that this would be a fun thing to do with the month of March.  We don't get out the bar as much as we used to, but we've more then made up for it by becoming bearded, and strikingly handsome.  Thanks again for another year of MODOK buddy.

Not much else to say.  I've got ice cubes to retrieve and scotch to pour.
Thanks again everyone.

MARCH is for MODOKS!
Mindblasts to the LAST!

The mighty Monte continues his ongoing devotion to MODOK and writes,

Greetings once again!
This is Monte, back for what (I think) is my sixth year. I'm the Creative Director at Geocaching now, and though my job titles may change, my love for March MODOK Madness never will.
I'm coming in real close to the deadline this year, but life has been crazy. I'll do better in 2017!

As always thanks to Mr. Michaelis for his support.  We also invite you to check out his website: www.thisismonte.com.

MODOK Takes On The Hulk!

MODOK employs his giant robot armor to put down the Hulk!  Woop!

Thus ends another March MODOK Madness year, a quiet, calm one this go around, but one filled with many mighty MODOKs as well!  I had fun and hope you did as well.  Much thanks to my annual partner in the madness, Pedro Delgado.  Thanks for taking the editorial and bloggery reins as much as you do each year!  You rock.

Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support these past 9 (NINE!) years.  I'll see you all next March!

Submitted MODOK: The Brothers Lienard

Closing out the month with a bang!  Adrian Lienard sent this along:

Please enjoy MODOK WINS. You can download the game here https://slyshand.itch.io/modok-wins it is absolutely free, and it is a single .exe that you can run on Windows. Modok can't lose, Modok always wins. He destroys his enemies with ease and sits upon his throne waiting to continue doing battle another day. I also made a blogspot dedicated to the game http://modokwins.blogspot.com/ that has some of the in-game sprites that you can see more clearly.

 MODOK in his very own 8-Bit game, whoopin' butt and takin' names!  This is beyond cool!  First, go play the game and visit the game's blog!  And then, check out what the Lienards get into on their own sites:

"Move that football, and you get a MINDBLAST.  Fair warning."

John sent us this Peanuts inspired MODOK and goes on to write:

Greetings! :-)
Here's another submission to March M.O.D.O.K. Madness for 2016--This time, it is with apologies to Charles M. Schultz! After all, Charlie Brown is the O.G. big-headed kid and sort of resembles a certain big-headed Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. If the mechano-chair fits...

John has also asked that we attach, a plug to his modest art site @: http://johndouglasart.blogspot.com/

MARCH is for MODOK!

Robert returns for a deuce this year with MODOK in Repose, as seen on his Twitter feed.  Mild-mannered gentleman MODOK in deep reflection within the hallowed walls of his stately study.  Quite.
