I’ve finally found the perfect card for Valentine’s Day!

In the best of all possible worlds, I would own the library of all the comics that never were. And the scores and recordings of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Il re Lear. And Shakespeare’s great history play Richard Nixon. But I digress. Original post here.
Comics That Never Were – Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane by Fourpanelhero
Longtime readers of this site will be familiar with the work of Drake at Medusarrific, who has proved himself one of the most dedicated CG A.S.F.R. comics creators in field, having put out 89 issues and counting of his comic, as well as a variety of other material and, I am honored to say, a pendant story to the Tales of Gnosis College.
So it is with pleasure that I note that the most recent issue of Drake’s comic, “Audition” (Medusarrific #89) goes full-bore mad science. It begins with a classic trope of our two of his heroines — Lita and Connie — having washed up on a mysterious island somewhere.
The exchange following “Was that a giant squid?” shows narrative artistry, hinting as it does at a whole prequel misadventure which Drake has left to the imaginations of his readers. (Perhaps an artist into tentacles will take up the implied challenge!)
In any event, seeking a path back to civilization, Lita and Connie come across a laboratory run by a solitary, but also quite friendly, scientist.
Perhaps the classic response to “are you a mad scientist” in this situation is something along the lines of “Mad? Why no! I find my scientific work most enjoyable and fulfilling.” “When I’m a penguin” does show more originality.
Needless to say, our scientist has some very special plans involving some very special technology for her guests, but you won’t find out what they are from me. You’ll need to visit Medusarrific or at least download the issue (a .zip file containing the pages, its size a nice trim 9.8 MB). If you like mad science, or transformations, or A.S.F.R., it will be well worth your time.
I’ve also recently discovered that Drake now has a DeviantArt gallery up and running where you can see some of his single works, so if you’re part of that particular universe, by all means go over and give him some well-deserved positive attention.

Mad Science Lab – Doll by =creativeguy59Tube Girl & A.S.F.R. themes here
Dr. Robo of Metrobay Comix has been a longtime friend of our enterprise over here, and work done by him and his group has often graced these pages in the past — see examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Well, they never rest over there at Metrobay, and I’ve recently had the enjoyable experience of reading what is possibly their most complex sequence of erotic mad science episodes yet: Pleasure Island.
The Metrobay creators are taking off from a classic of mad science in this 300+ page story, and in it they’ll be testing the limits of individual plasticity in ways that would have made old H.G. Wells blow a fuse. Our story begins with a Metrobay woman accepting an invitation for a cruise to Pleasure Island. (In the fictional world of Metrobay, where mind-control technologies are ubiquitous, it’s not an invitation she’s metaphysically free to decline.) Meanwhile, aboard the yacht maintained by scientific genius “Dr. Brust,” various transformations are being performed on the lovelies of Metrobay, either at the behest of her various obscenely wealthy patrons or just to gratify her own unusual and aggressive desires.
And boy howdy does our (anything-but-) good doctor manage to come up with some amazing tranformations. I could scarcely do justice to them all in single post, but perhaps I tantalize people who enjoy the sort of thing that has gone on in the Tales of Gnosis College. Dear readers, can you perhaps guess at what is going to happen next here? (Hint: remember how Jireen came into being?
Or consider what’s happening here. This one hasn’t appeared in the Tales (yet), but it should be visual fuel for some interesting speculation as to what’s going to happen to our strapped-down heroine.
Are the events on the cruise to Pleasure Island a bit scary, perhaps? Well, don’t try to run away. You’ll only make it harder on yourself.
And there’s a lot more, so if this is the sort of thing that appeals, by all means head over to Metrobay Comix and take out a subscription. It’s will be a cruise to pleasure, for sure.
A piece with clear inspiration in German impressionism; I see not just Nosferatu here but also the weird geometries of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Original post here.
