Let’s write some funny articles based on science fiction clickbait headlines! 😀
A few months ago, I wrote a post where I listed a few funny fantasy themed article titles I had made with a clickbait generator.
Science Fiction Clickbait
Anubis vs Beerus
Here’s a mock-up of Anubis and Beerus, the god of death and the god of destruction.
When I first started promoting my comic Anubis: Dog of Death at the end of October last year, I got an interesting comment on Instagram.
Douglas Adams’ Legacy
Douglas Noel Adams is my favorite author.
His brand of comedy has inspired and delighted me ever since I discovered The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in my early teens.
Me vs. Daleks & Cybermen
Here’s a drawing I commissioned from Len Peralta back in 2010.
It is me as a private in the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, a fictional military organization from the BBC science-fiction program Doctor Who.
My Dalek Tribute Videos
In December of 2005, after just having discovered Doctor Who, I was watching the show’s behind-the-scenes spin-off show, Doctor Who Confidential.
Just as long as Stephen Merchant
This is a video I made for the Jonathan Coulton song ‘Just As Long As Me’ in December of 2010.
It features pictures of the very tall and very funny comedian Stephen Merchant.
My favorite ‘Flight of the Conchords’ songs
I first discovered “the 4th most popular folk comedy duo in New Zealand” through listening to their first studio album on repeat with a friend while we were having a long drive to a cabin trip in 2010.
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you all!
I would like to gift you a bunch of links to Christmas and New Year’s Eve related posts I have made in the past.

I’ve got you covered!
Chiron Beta Prime – Jonathan Coulton
This song is a cry for help Christmas letter from a family that is being held against their will protected by evil robots giant metal Santa Claus’.
Growing Up With Spider-Man
During the late 90s, when I was between six and nine years old, I was a giant Spider-Man fan!
I never read any of the comics, I was more into Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck comics when I was little.

Advent Calendar TV Shows
In Norway we have a tradition where each year the television channels air shows with a Christmas theme that has a new episode each day between December 1st and December 24th.
The Doctor VS Anubis
This is the story about how the main character in Anubis: Dog of Death started out as a minor villain in my unmade ‘Doctor Who’ comic books.
–
In the summer of 2016, I contacted the artist John Barry Ballaran, to order a painting for my girlfriend for Christmas.
It would portray David Bowie and Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor from ‘Doctor Who’, battling an army of cybernetic creatures by shocking them with their electric guitar riffs.
The finished work would have a very realistic style, but long before the painting was done, John sent me a sketch of how the layout of the painting would look.
To me, this looked like something straight out of a comic book!
At this point, I had wanted to make several ‘Doctor Who’ comics for a long time.
Ever since I discovered ‘Doctor Who’ at 15 years old in 2005, I have always had countless ideas for stories set in that universe.
When I was younger I used to dream about the possibility of running that show, and even after admitting to myself just how unlikely that is, I still had a need to get all those ideas out somehow.
And while I could simply write a fanfic, I had imagined these ideas as television episodes, so I felt many of them needed to be visual to truly express what I wanted those ideas to become.
So I asked John if he would be interested in attempting to make a ‘Doctor Who’ comic with me after the painting was done, and he said yes!
I ended up writing a script for a one-part story, and asked John to draw a test-page.
