Jaxxon, Guys. Jaxxon.

So... last night I decided to draw the single greatest non-canonical character in Star Wars history kicking Hitler in the face. It's a little sloppy, but c'mon: it's Jaxxon kicking Hitler.

I based it on this "classic" image by Howard Chaykin of all people.

SWEET PUMPKIN!

I'm back!

This is...probably a little insular.

I drew it for my tumblr blog. Which I also hardly ever update.

More Of the Same, But COLORFUL!

Yeah, yeah. We've seen it.

I added a little color this time.

Oh, in case anyone is curious about the stuff I done drew, I have a tumblr blog that I've been putting up stuff on.

I'm Kind Of Stunned I Never Did This Before

Believe it or not, I've never actually drawn Cap doing what he does best:

UNTIL NOW.

The sharp-eyed Bronze Age Cap fan will note that this is based on a panel drawn by Sal Buscema (Gotta give credit where it's due).

I just drew D-man!

PILEDRIVER!

So, I drew D-Man. You should too.

HGP Field Trip!

Okay, I know it's been ages since I updated, but I have no excuses or apologies.

A couple of weekends ago, Mrs. HGP and I took a little trip to the Museum of Science and Industry here in Chicago. Now, we mainly came to see the Jim Henson exhibit (awesome), but before we left we took a spin by the U-505 exhibit (also awesome). On the way out, I noticed an old acquaintance...



So, I had to take a potshot:



As did Ali:



We also took pictures of me next to a fake stewpot in a replica galley, and numerous other minutiae, but they weren't as germane to the blog. If you're ever in Chicago, be sure to stop by the museum and take a few swings at Adolf before a docent reports you to security!

I Can't Believe It's Krampus Eve!

In fact, it snuck up on me so fast I didn't have time to clean up and color my own Krampus art:

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HGP!

Even More Satisfying Than A.J.

As a Cubs fan, I was never truly in love with Michael Barrett. His offense was often decent, even good. But his defense and game calling was sub-par at best. Really, there was never a moment that he was my favorite player...

...UNTIL THAT ONE TIME HE TOTALLY SUCKER-PUNCHED HITLER.

Yes, I made this. And yes, I'm aware that the blue sunburst looks a little like the Japanese flag. But it gives it a nifty "Pop Art meets Op Art" feel, dammit. And if you click it, it gets slightly larger.

Hitler's Worst Mistake?

Below is the original pen-and-ink sketch I drew of the Action Age's own Solomon Stone giving Hitler the back of his fist. The final, full color version can be found here (oh, and here). If you click on the version below, it gets pretty big...


Thanks to Chris Sims for creating a character so instantly awesome, that I knew he'd one day punch Hitler.

Cap #1 Tribute Week - CALE!!!!!

In honor of Cap #1 Tribute Week, I have decided to put my money where my mouth is and finally put up my own Hitler-punching art.

In point of fact, my original purpose of this blog was not only to find and post pictures by others, but to personally create an ongoing series of Fuhrer-Abuse-Centered artwork. The following picture began as a rough sketch about 2 days before I even had the idea to start this blog, and finally came to fruition when I realized a few days ago that I didn't have a Friday entry for this Tribute Week and frantically started drawing during my lunch breaks at work.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you:

THE VARIANT "CAP TRIBUTE" COVER TO THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF STALIN & CALE #1!

This probably requires a little backstory. Unfortunately, I'm not prepared to give it all away just yet. But rest assured, more will come of this. And when it does, you will never look at Harry Dean Stanton, Ted Nugent, or Finnish Nazi Archeologist Yrjö von Grönhagen the same ever again.

This.

I.

Swear.

The following quote may prove illuminating, though only partially:

"I was staying at the Tropicana Hotel in Hollywood. One day we heard all this noise. We looked across the parking lot to the other side where the noise was coming from and suddenly the whole door of this room came flying out onto the balcony, and there stood John Cale. He couldn't work the doorknob, so he just knocked the door down,right off the hinges."

Unless I find or receive another Tribute pic, this concludes Cap #1 Tribute Week. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Hitler-punching, already in progress.

A special tip o' the cap to Gene Mayes, the co-creator of the eventually upcoming Astonishing Adventures of Stalin & Cale. Stay tuned for more arcane viral marketing both here, and elsewhere. And of course a huge tip of the cap to Simon and Kirby, without whom not much of anything I like would be possible.
