Perhaps inspired by M!les and Holli’s multi-faceted “Oku – Octopus Programmer Extraordinaire,” the infamous Rocktopus has stepped out of the shadows of retirement to make his presence felt!
You may think a guy who can play guitar AND harmonica is impressive. And it’s probably a challenge to play drums while singing (though Phil Collins makes it look easy…do you like Phil Collins?). But you’ve probably never seen someone something that plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums AND gives itself its own encore!
And so, it is with great pleasure that I present to you a collaborative Fresh Produce piece from Kiel, Ted, and Mike…
The Rocktopus…
Now…if only he could team up with the Rock Lobster to create a crustaceanic and cephalopodic combination of musical composition, we’d have quite the musical duo (and a top-notch programmer that the band could hire out to create their website).
It’s almost too good to be true…
Anyway, that’s our bonus addition of the day. We’ve still got submissions coming in, so check back sooner than later to see some more great work from some fantastic creatives. If you’re one of those fantastic creatives, send your stuff into [email protected].
Graphic Comic for life! (or until the end of the week…)
-The Wordsmith
We drew inspiration from the Family Circus for today's piece. This comic is going in the SD AdFed newsletter as a little notification of our move. Copy by Ted and illustration by Kiel. Enjoy.
Hey kiddos,
Hey kids,
Alright gawkers,
The long awaited FF podcast is finally here. Ted takes to the streets to drudge up what he can about the Think Tank Poppins Project. He talks through the whole fiasco in a very succinct manner and then talks to southdacola.com's Scott Erisman about his interpretation and coverage of the event. It's a nice little listen.

And that's the last word on GC about the Poppins Project! We're done with it! Good job, Think Tank, for monopolizing our blog for a week! We're through with it! Let's get back to the other artists... Until next time, Think Tank... until next time...
Here's that lame podcast graphic again...
Alright gawkers, we're coming right at you again tomorrow to show and tell about regional arts and artists. Amateur and pro alike.

We got fresh work coming your way this week, including Medema & Lavin, Hauge, another strip from the Sharkboy Chronicals, and GC is proud to introduce a new face to the stage, Holli Rausch.
Thanks for sticking with us, Gawkers. Keep those submissions coming.

Today we bring you the second installment in the much loved Adventures of Sharkboy and Soy Sauce chronicles by senior copywriter and junior graphic designer, Ted Hereen.
