Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: Thats a parking lot I wouldn't mind getting stuck in! Though I'm at a loss to identify the one with the bell on top.

Allerd's drawing likes this it was inspired by some other source.

Thanks for that pic. I need it for a post I am doing about Captain Action's modern revival. If you buy the right sets you get all the parts you need to outfit a classic Hawkeye. I hate these 'build a figure' concepts but in this one you get the three arrows and one of them is the Ant Man one. Very cool.; November 22, 2013 at 3:48 PM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: I thought it looked like the Blues Mobile, but it wasn't until I looked at it again that I realized the thing on top wasn't a bell, but a loudspeaker. Thats what caused the confusion.

Now I may need help identifying the one in the front row far right. At first I thought it was the car from "Men in Black" with the two back engines, but that one doesn't have a hood intake. Also, were the heck is KITT?; November 22, 2013 at 4:12 PM
Kal said...: I am not sure of that one either. I was thinking Road Warrior but I could be wrong.; November 22, 2013 at 4:34 PM
Mike D. said...: Yes that is Mad Max's car. KITT is cleverly stowed away in the trailer. BTW...thats BJ's rig... In case nobody was aware.; November 22, 2013 at 9:44 PM
Kal said...: BJ AND THE BEAR...I knew that...but where is the Pork Chop Express???; November 23, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: You mean that isn't Optimus Prime?!; November 23, 2013 at 9:59 AM
Unknown said...: The fedora clad robot(?) looks fantastic. From some type of fan film?; November 29, 2013 at 2:56 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
