Marty as a Jesus Figure

So lately this blog has been slow. It probably should be called "Your-every other weekly-future-sometimes". Sorry about that. I've sorta been busy. But I've found some time and a renewed enthusiasm for drawing so don't worry. And just to prove to you that I mean it, here is the first drawing from Back to The Future II!

Hoverboards don't work on water? That confuses me. Don't the laws of magnetic fields work thru water? Why wouldn't they? I need to consult a science teacher! Despite the whole water debacle, Marty is a pretty skilled Hoverboard operator. Who knew that mediocre skateboard skills would translate so well.

So after I drew this last night I made some decisions. I think this time around I am going to do my drawings sequentially. So starting tomorrow, expect to see the first scene. And then on Tuesday the second scene. Etc... So that should be fun. Consider todays drawing a teaser.

I like to write in my journal.

Alright, here we see Marty composing a letter to future Doc. The envelope says 'Don't open until 1985' But apparently Doc thought the envelope read 'tear up upon receiving'. Doc might be illiterate. I hope Marty didn't slip a twenty in there! The next envelope I receive I am ripping apart. Forget you BGE!

Marty's legs look funny.

Does anybody know any Ricky B jokes.

Fight!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy. Marty and Biff are about to throw down in the cafeteria. That's grounds for immediate suspension. Luckily principal Strickland is there to put out the fire. Doesn't this guy have an office?

Biff needs to learn better coping skills. He is completely unequipped to deal with his emotions. I only see bad things in his future. Either a life of crime or a life a menial labor.

In this drawing Biff is much smaller than Marty. Again that is just perspective. I am a good drawer. I passed a correspondence course.

Sorry, I am not being funny. I am saving all my funny energy for something else this week. Does anybody know any Dave Myers jokes?

Under-Calculations of Time.

Welcome back! To the future! This is a drawing of Marty in side of the Delorean. He's all upset that Doc wont listen to his warnings about the future. But wait Marty you have a time machine, you have all the time in the world! Ten minutes ought to be enough! Ten minutes? You're trying to save your friends life, and you think ten minutes is enough time? You have all the time in the world, but ten minutes out of infinity is all that Doc Brown is worth to you? Marty, you're an idiot. That's not enough time! I would have gone back at least twelve minutes early.

In this drawing Marty's left arm is much smaller than his right arm. That's because of your optical perspective, not because I can't draw.

Does anybody know any jokes about David Andler?

Sad News.

I sprained the funny bone in my drawing hand. I am taking the week off. I'll be back monday. Sorry.

Does any one want to submit any drawings with comments? They might get posted.

Don't worry the future is coming on monday!!!

Forgivonuss Please.

This drawing is multi-leveled! I mean Marty is down some stairs. I don't mean that the drawing is deep with meaning. However if your picking up some hidden depth, please let me know about it.

Is setting the carpet on fire when he was eight really the one sin the that Marty wants to be obsolved of? He never did anything worse than that? Things like that don't even count when you are eight! Accidents happen. Am I right? He should have brought up something that happened in his teenage years. "If your youngest child ever gets four tardies in a row, go easy on him" or better yet he could have planned some future mishap to get forgiven for once he gets back to 1985! "If your youngest son ever gets into a brawl at a pool hall when he's 17, go easy on him."

Why is George wearing a giant collared shirt like a 19th century Dutch school boy? Oh yeah, I can't draw! Did you know they made a sequel to BTTF? That's what people in the industry call a teaser.

This easy chair doesn't look to easy.

Good morning. Doc Brown has issues. Future boy Marty has just laid the whole time travel story on Doc, and he flips out. He runs from Marty, sits in front of the fire place, and starts talking to a picture of Thomas Edison. If I am Marty and I am relying on this guy, I am not reassured.

Some times when I am having trouble drawing I talk to a picture of Charles Schulz. If that doesn't work I think of two squirrels wrestling. Then I giggle. Squirrels are crazy!

I wish I could draw characters the same way every time. It just doesn't happen. I try though. This particular image of Doc Brown is actually my high school English teacher. He's getting ready to throw this portrait of Edison across the room because it doesn't meet his standards.

You want me to lasso the moon, Loraine?

Holy smokes! George is about to miss one of the most crucial moments of life because he is to busy dancing alone and drinking punch! You have a midget-future-son to punch and a girl to win over. Luckily Marvin Berry and The StarLighters are going on break or George might have danced the night away.

Were Enchantment Under The Sea dances popular in the 1950's? I wonder where they fell in the already busy dance calender? Somewhere between Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins I guess. I wish they would of had one of these under water dances when I was in high school. I would have wore a snorkel and flippers!

It would be great if in the middle of the dance scene the gym floor opened up into a swimming pool! Like in 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Can't you just see George doing the Charleston and the falling into the pool! George Mcfly, not George Bailey.

A Mini-Delorean.

Holiday weekend is over. Back to work, boo. Back To The Future, yeah! Here we see a drawing of the Back To The Future movie poster. A movie poster is something the studio releases to advertise a movie. As you can see Marty is jumping out of the Delorean in an awkward manner. He is straddling two rows of fire, taking off his sun glasses, and checking his wristwatch, all in one motion. That's a lot of action for one movie poster! I don't remember any of this happening in the movie. Where is the back of the Delorean, you might be asking. I don't know. It wasn't on the poster. So I guess movie posters don't have to depict the movie that accurately at all. Sorta like my drawings!

I don't like that Dane Cook guy. He rubs me the wrong way and isn't funny. If only I had a time machine and stop him from becoming popular.....If only.....Stupid reality.

Did you see what those guys were wearing?

Good morning! Doc sure seems excited about the prospect of time travel. To bad he is about to get shot by some Libyans. Don't worry, he survives. (I guess I should have given a spoiler alert, oops) He'll get to time travel soon enough.

I really like these hazmat suits that Marty and Doc are wearing. They're really rad. Marty looks like Dignan from Bottle Rocket. Where do you pick up one of these yellow jump suits? I wonder what sort of situations I could get away with wearing one of them in? Are they ever strictly Taboo? Funerals; definitely not, but weddings; I say okay.

Wes Anderson should do a Back To The Future remake. That would be amazing. Or at least the soundtrack would be an upgrade!

Flame Retardant in a Can.

10:45 a.m. time to blog about Back To The Future.

Uh oh, that model car is on fire and about to crash into a box of old rags! This could be disastrous. Good thing Doc Brown is wearing safety goggles and has a 1950's era fire extinguisher. I don't understand why people keep boxes of old rags laying around. Is it for washing your car or stove or something? Haven't people ever heard of a the miracle shammy? The infomercial used to be on all the time.

I think Doc Brown would be a great infomercial guy! Whatever he's selling, I am buying. He'd be much better than that Ron Popeil Jerk.

Why does Doc's hair look like a fish in this drawing? Okay, bye.

10:55 a.m. Leave comments on http://roxierules.blogspot.com/

10.58 a.m. eat some chex mix.

The Great Merman Terror.

Oh boy. It sounds like George is suffering from some mental illness. He's being visited by space aliens threatening to vaporize his brain! Keep that one to yourself George. This guy is troubled. But we all know that Darth Vader is actually Marty McFly. So maybe George isn't nuts at all. He just lacks social skills.

I wish some one would sneak into my room and pull a trick like that on me! I love practical jokes. Just don't show up in a clown suit. I have a bit of a clown-phobia. But if a mermaid or a merman showed up to give me secret orders in the middle of the night I think I would be thrilled! "If you don't run in the Juy 4th Marathon, I will come back and slap you with a fish. A big fish." Yikes! Leave me alone merman!

On a side note, check out this website.

It asks you if a dog named Roxie rules. Though every time I try to answer, my comment gets deleted. I used to think Roxie rules, but now I am not so sure. Leave Roxie a comment, see if it sticks.

Teenagers and Problems With Promptness!

Why is it that Marty keeps on showing up tardy to school? Four Days in a row! There is no excuse for that! Maybe you need to cut back on the time you spend at the creepy inventors house in the morning, Marty.

I bet Marty is going to get detention soon. Wouldn't it be great if the character of Marty McFly was in the Breakfast Club! He could get that whole crazy gang into some time travel situations. This smells like a late 80's Saturday morning cartoon to me! Throw in some Snorkels and Kelly Kapowski from Saved By The Bell and you've just created the perfect show!

A Portrait of Doc Brown

Good morning! Wow, Doc is watching a tape of himself in the future! Isn't watching your future-self on video against the time space continuum by-laws? Doc is awfully curious about the future, for a guy who claims not to be! If I ever get a hold of a video of future-me I don't think I would want to watch it. It would just be too weird!

I didn't know TVs in the 1950's came equipped with the proper hook ups for 1980's JVC camcorders. That doesn't seem right. Maybe Doc just invented an input jack for his TV. What a great inventor. Now he needs to invent a mirror to keep track of that hair!

The Keys to the Truck.

Welcome back! In this scene Biff seems kinda decent. This is totally not like him. Or anybody else in his family for that matter. So Biff is a jerk in 1955. He is a jerk in 1985 version one. A jerk in 2015. How come he is kinda nice now? This is out of character for him. This scene fits in nicely as an end to BTTF I, but seems out of place in the trilogy as a whole.

Where did Biff get that awesome track suit? Does he compete in some sort of over 40 decathlon after he waxes cars? I bet he'd be good at shot put, but suck at pole vault.

Marty looks more and more like a mole-man every time I draw him.

Two Irish Bugs Walk Into a Diner.

Good Morning everyone. Look at this. Marty and George have the same mannerisms. How cute! They could be sitting down, head scratching twins! They're so deep into their head scratching that Marty doesn't even notice that he is sitting next to his own teen aged father!

I don't think my father and I have any of the same mannerisms. However, when we were on safari together last summer, the guide did tell us that we had the same form when we shot rhinos! And when we hi-fived afterwards we looked like a mirror image. So maybe we have some of the same mannerisms.

I wonder if coffee tasted differently in the 1950's? Is it comparable to today? Did the recipe some how change over time? What about Dr. Pepper? More pepper? Less pepper?

Helping Hand

Biff's goons are jerks!

Let's Dance.

This is a very nice scene. George and Loraine are finally dancing, getting ready to kiss, preserving Marty's fate. How nice. But, are you sure George? You sure you don't want to play the field a little longer? You are really going to marry the first girl you dance with? I can remember the first girl I danced with and I am really glad I didn't end up marrying her! She had an extremely large forehead. It was unnatural. It wasn't quite as large as a billboard, but I am pretty sure you could have hid a time travelling Delorean behind it! She looked like Ken Griffey Jr. in that episode of the Simpsons when he was inflicted by gigantism.

I don't actually think she was the first girl I ever danced with, but she definitely wins the award for "most likely to join the circus". I hope she isn't a reader of this blog! That would be awkward. And for all readers of this blog who I have danced with, you were great. If I haven't danced with you yet, I owe you one. Just come find me at the next formal we are at together.

The Car is Behind Here.

So, here we are. The time machine has stopped running as soon as Marty arrives in 1955. I think it's just a little tuckered out. It probably needs a nap after a long trip. Marty, still coming to grips with the fact that he is stuck in the past decides to hide the Delorean behind a billboard. I guess that's a good hiding place. Nobody will see it there. Unless they're coming in the opposite direction! Time for plan B. You better cover it up with some shrubs Marty! Good job. I can think of at least three better hiding places. But I am not going to tell you what they are. I don't want you finding my secret stash of E L Fudge cookies. Boy, those little elves can make a mean snack food product!

From Tragedy to Triumph

Hey it's Tomorrow! Here is another scene that doesn't actually happen in the movie. But I felt so bad for Marty and Jennifer that I drew them at the lake. They deserve some quality time together. That's the moon in the top left not a bowling ball! Could you imagine bowling with the moon as a ball? Just think about how big the pins would have to be? Yikes.

The Great Lake Tragedy

Good morning! This picture depicts Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer just hanging out in the town square talking about their plans for the weekend. They are going to the lake together. Sounds like fun! Unwholesome, but fun. Jennifer is worried about what Mrs. McFly might think. I wouldn't worry about that Jennifer. Just enjoy yourself. There will always be haters in your life. Just ignore them.

Overall BTTF is a pretty light hearted-fun movie. I think the big tragedy of the BTTF saga is that Jennifer and Marty never make it to the lake. First Biff wrecks the family car, so, no lake. Then at the end of the movie they are getting ready to go until Doc swoops in and tells them that their kids turn into A-holes, so again, no lake. It really is a shame. Tragic. Marty deserves a lake trip with a pretty girl more than anybody else in history. Except for maybe Norman Schwarzkopf.

The second tragedy of the film is that Jennifer's arms have no bones.

Notice that Marty is sitting on top of bench in this scene. I think the Director shot the scene in this way because Michael J Fox is short.

Incidentally I am taking a girl named Jennifer to a lake(The Atlantic Ocean) this evening in a new car. How coincidental is that! It's not really since I chose to do this drawing today. How Coordinated is that! That's more like it. I hope nothing comes up and prevents me from going to the lake! So, since I'll be gone tomorrow, I am going to make tomorrows post this evening. Just ignore it until tomorrow. Or look at it tonight. I don't care what you do. Just don't present me with any opportunities to time travel between now and seven pm!

Ketchup! Ketchup! Catch Up!

This scene isn't in the movie. I made it up. I do that sometimes. It keeps things fun for me. And hopefully for you too. Anyhow, imagine this if you can, The Libyans shoot Doc, Marty jumps out and yells "No. You bastards!" Now when they start chasing him and shooting at him wouldn't it be great if Marty just grabbed onto the back of the Libyans van! They'd just drive in tight little circles trying to catch him! It would be like a dog chasing his own tail. Or the Key Stone Cops. The guy shooting would just have a confused look on his face. The guy driving would be all angry hitting the wheel over and over. Meanwhile Marty would be looking all Parker Lewis. In the background they'd be playing the music from the Hot Dog Race at the baseball game. This scene would be amazing... One can dream...

Tom Arnold is a Big Bully.

I can't believe Biff crashed George's car! What a jerk. He got liquored up and got in a wreck. If only George would have stood up to Biff in High school, things might be different now. Biff might be washing George's car instead of destroying it. If only George had a second chance. If only.

My favorite line in the whole movie might be in this scene. Biff says, "I wanna know who is gonna pay for this? I spilled beer all over it when that car crashed into me. Who's gonna pay my cleaning bill?" That really sums up Biff. What a jerk. I bet he gets prank phone calls from people that he has pissed off that sound something like this.

"Biff? You're a turd... a stinky fat turd, go sniff a jock strap, you poop head. You love patting boys butts, butt, butt patter! You're a perv and a loser and a stinky turd."

I miss you Haverchuck.

Dial 0 for 00ps!

Is it acceptable to rip a page out of a public phone book? I've always been under the impression that it is, and I think this scene is the reason I thought this. I think I saw this movie as a child, and subconsciously told myself 'Destroying a public phone book is okay.' I've actually done this two or three times in my life. Once in middle school when I saw a name that I thought was funny and wanted to show my friends. I don't remember the name now, it probably was something like Kevin Pooply or Brian Fartstorm or something. I wish I still had that page out of the phone book! The other time I remember destroying a phone book I was on a family vacation in London and I ripped out a page from the front of the book that had the subway map on it. I thought it would be cool to have.

But the more I think about it, I don't think tearing out pages from a phone book is socially acceptable. What if somebody really needs Brian Fartstorm's number and that page is missing from the book? What if that casuses them to miss an important bussiness lunch with Mr. Fartstorm? Besides it's also destruction of property! I feel so ashamed. I am going to overpay my phone bill by like ten cents this month. Would that be proper reparations Bell Atlantic? Are we squared away now?

I wonder what else I internalized as a child that is way off what is acceptable? I wonder if people can actually hear me when I say 'Time-Out' and start talking to an imaginary camera. Zach Morris, you've made a fool out of me.

Dance the Night Away

Good Morning! Doc seems really excited about this dance that is coming up this weekend. It's a shame that he is going to be busy that night. It really sounds like something he'd like to attend. Besides he is to old to pass for high school age, and I doubt any girl is going to invite him. I am sorry Doc. I know it sucks not being asked to go to big dances, but you have important time machine things to do! You have a boys future to save! The whole time space continuum thing depends on you! Stay strong, stay strong.

Doc looks like he is 90 years old in this drawing. He kinda looks like my landlord. That's an artists mistake. Imagine Doc at least 15 years younger. I am going to fire my illustrator. Look out for an add in the penny saver.

Deconstructing Marty

Yeah I know, this scene takes place in a car. I know. It's just that every time I draw people sitting in a car it looks like two blobs sitting inside of a blob. So, just pretend they are in a car. Or not, I don't really care what you think.

Sometimes I draw a picture and know exactly what I am going to say about it. Other times I draw a picture and have know idea what I am going to say. This is one of those times. I had to really look at the picture in depth to figure out what I was going to say. And then it hit me, I just drew Marty as Woody Allen. Put some glasses on Marty and it's a dead ringer. So that got me thinking, how awesome would it be if Woody Allen played Marty? I think that would up the BTTF amazing factor by X25. So with out further delay, Woody Allen as Marty McFly.

"Jeez, my mother wants to have sexual relations with me, talk about a reverse Oedipus complex. Oh, and what's this, you smoke too? Jeez, do you know how bad that is for you? Let alone what it does to an unborn baby in utero? If you keep this up I am going to come out of the womb near sighted with all sorts of psychological disorders. Jeez, I am never going to grow to be taller than five feet tall. I am only going to be attractive to fifteen year Vietnamese girls with daddy issues. Oh boy, I need to talk to my analyst. Why is my hand disappearing? Oh, man, now I am hallucinating."

End Scene.

Toy Cars and Monster Attacks.

Good Morning! Is Marty trying to get back to the future, or is he trying to win a Pinewood Derby! You can get your merit badge later. Seriously. This is not the time to be playing with toy cars. You have a future to save! Besides in about ten seconds you can get your fire safety merit badge.

Doc is a pretty good model city builder, huh. He could get a job as a set designer on Godzilla. Marty should tell Doc about Godzilla before he leaves for he future. Maybe slip it in that note if he needs to.....

"Dear Doc, the night I go back in time you get shot by terrorists. P.S. Godzilla will be awesome! A real cultural phenomenon! Look into to getting a job building miniature cities for that crazy monster to destroy. Peace out.
Your Friend,
The M-Dog."

I am Talking Directly to You

Good morning. Look at this. Now that they've figured out a source of 1.21 gigawats Doc is pretty confident that they can send Marty back to the future. He is so confident that he turns away from Marty and points directly at the camera as he proclaims this. Marty is in the background thinking 'Hey, Doc, I am over here.'

Uh-oh. I think Doc just broke the 4th wall. That's a theatre term. Go read Our Town, you'll understand. It's by Thorton Wilder.

I think Marty should give Doc a Hi-five right about now. I think the moment calls for it. I know they didn't have Hi-fives in the 1950's. But they didn't have rock and roll or skateboards either, so it's cool Marty, go for it! But don't get all crazy and try to pull a 'Slap-me-high, slap-me-low, to-slow' gambit. Doc's definitely not ready for that!

To The Moon, Loraine, To The Moon.

Here's a picture of George eating peanut brittle and watching Jackie Gleason. He seems to be enjoying himself. That's nice. It seems like the world has really beaten him down at this point. I am glad he has peanut brittle and Jackie Gleason as an evening respite from the real world.

How do they make peanut brittle? Here is my guess. Mix peanuts and peanut butter together. Put in a pan. Sprinkle sugar on top. Bake at 300 for half an hour. Enjoy!

I Don't Wanna Be a Pinhead No More.

Welcome back! Marty's band the Pinheads are getting ready to rock out for some talent show judges. This is a big moment in Marty's rock career. So why did he roll up to the gym right before they were supposed to perform, pick up his guitar, barely say 'hi' to his band mates, and then introduce the band? Have you ever heard of being prepared Marty? You think I just role up to the computer and start writing blogs without being prepared? Actually, that's exactly what I do. But if I knew there were going to be 4 people in folding chairs watching me and judging me, including Huey Lewis, I might try a little harder.

I forgot to draw the drummer! Oops! Lets just pretend they have a drum machine back there.

This blog is getting exceedingly difficult. I am running out of things to draw. But I don't think I am quite ready to move on to BTTF 2. Is there anything that I missed that you really want to see? And don't say 'George and Biff making out' because I wont do that you pervs.

A Clock Tower on a Bender

Good morning. Here is a lady collecting for Charity. She wants you to donate money to help preserve the clock tower. Forget that! I am not giving money to a clock tower! The last time I did that the clock tower just spent the money on booze. I might consider donating money if I could be assured that it would go towards programs that could really help a struggling clock tower get back on its feet. You know, a program to teach them job skills or something.

I am kidding. Charity is good.

Licence and Registration Please.

This is supposed to be two columns of fire with a licence plate spinning in the middle. Did you pick up on that? You know whats hard to accurately draw when you have no artistic ability? Two columns of fire with a spinning licence plate. This scene happened when they first did a test run of the time machine. You know, the one where they use Einstein as the space monkey. I still have issues with that.

I hope Einstein doesn't get pulled over for by the inter-time-space-continuum police for having a missing plate! How would he explain that one! He's a dog. He can't explain anything! "Woof Woof, my wife is at the vets having pups!" I wonder what the fine for driving without plates in an abstract plane is? What currency do they accept? Do you get points on your licence? Remember the movie Time Cops? That was a Jean Claude Van Damme picture. It has nothing to do with this sort of thing. Neither does Blood Sport.

Doc really had a lot of for sight to get vanity plates that say 'OUTATIME'. He clearly had this time machine idea planned out for quite a while! Have you ever been to the DMV.

How Much is That Lady in the Window?

Welcome back (to the future). Marty is quite the ladies man huh? He's got his girlfriend Jennifer, his teenage mother wants to jump his bones, and look at this! As he hitches a ride on his skateboard on the back of a jeep, he has the stones to wave at a bunch of girls doing Jazzercise. And they are waving back! Wow. What a smooth operator. There is no way I could have pulled this of when I was in high school. I couldn't even pull this off now! It would probably result in some sort of law suit.

If you made this movie now Jazzercise would be replaced by Brazilian martial arts or something. How do people exercise now a days? I live in a bubble.

Crash Course to Confusion

Welcome back! What does Grandpa Baines mean 'Another' kid jumped in front of his car. Another? If kids keep jumping in front of your car, maybe its time to reevaluate your driving habits. This street needs one of those 'slow- children at play' signs. Did they have them in the 1950's? If that doesn't work maybe one of those signs with a mama duck followed by a bunch of smaller ducks. That would definitely make me slow down. I respect ducks. That's what my tombstone is going to say. "He respected ducks." or "Friend of ducks everywhere." Except for Flintheart Glomgold. He was a scheming bastard.

Dead Doc?????

Good Morning! So as soon as Marty gets home from a hard week of time traveling he witnesses his friend get shot down . Welcome home Marty! By the way your pet turtle Lars is dead. Talk about a sucky welcome home present. But what's this? Doc isn't dead after all. That's good, I guess. By why did he play possum until after Marty came over and started to cry? Couldn't he have just jumped up and said "I am alright, I am alright" That would have been much cooler than taking Marty on the emotional roller coaster. Can anyone say selfish? That's like when those people have fake funerals for themselves. Creepy.

How come all the way thru the movie Doc talks about "messing with the time space continuum" and "not affecting events in the future". But then at the end of the movie after he reveals Marty's letter, he says "well, I figured, what the hell." That's a serious plot flaw.

Oh well. See you in the future!

Ring Leader of the Tormentors

Oh man. Poor George. And poor Marty. Poor McFly family. That Biff is such a bully. Physical abuse. Verbal abuse. Psychological abuse. He's a bad apple. If I was George I'd do Biff's homework in a shoddy manner. I'd misspell words on purpose! "Here is my aglembra homework teacher."

Does any one know where I can find a soda shop? Do they still make those? I am in the mood for a coke-float! But don't direct me to one if there is a chance that I'll run into a bully! Or my teenage future son! I am not ready for that yet.

Do you ever wonder what your teenage future son might be like? I do. I bet he has some sort of robotic laser cannon arm! I'll call him Kill-Bot 3000! Or Ryan. I can't wait to meet you robo-son!

The farmer from hell

Look Out! A hill billy farmer is shooting a shotgun at Marty! He is also calling him a mutated son of a ------. Marty is not a mutated space alien! He is a human time traveler. Talk about a hostile reception. I thought the 1950's were a simpler time. I guess this guy didn't get the memo. Maybe he is from the jerky future also. I thought farmers only got cross with you when you took advantage of their daughters.

I don't think I would like being a farmer. It seems like hard work. But then again, so is being a Back To The Future blog guy. I think I would like to be a Macgyver.

The Disappearing Hand

Good Morning! Man that Marty can sure play a mean guitar! But why is he having such a hard time with 'Earth Angel'? It seems to be a pretty straight forward song. And he's just playing rhythm guitar, they're not asking him to play any wicked leads or anything. We already saw him tear it up with the pinheads earlier in the movie. So why is he having such a hard time now? This is confusing. OH SNAP! His right hand is disappearing! No wonder he can't play the song right. George better kiss Loraine before Marty's whole body disintegrates, leaving a suit and guitar laying on the floor next to a bunch of confused Star lighters!

You like how I drew that disappearing hand? All outlined and bubbly? Pretty good, huh?

The Doctor of Self Love

Good Morning! Marty has some sort of suction cup-brain reading device attached to his head! It seems like all of Doc's inventions are selfish in nature. Let ME read your mind. I want to time travel. This guy never thinks about society as a whole! Its all Doc, all the time! How selfish. Even the dog food dispenser was designed to make Doc's life easier. I wonder what else he has invented? Maybe a girls locker room invisibility potion. Or a soft-serve ice cream dispensing statue of Lincoln! Or maybe some sort of sexy robot! This guy is a real selfish perv!

I Once Got Busy in a Burger King Bathroom

This might be the worst drawing ever! Sorry. Does anybody else think it's weird that Marty stops by Doc's house before school anyway? When I was a kid the mornings were always hectic. There was not time to visit eccentric inventors. Unless you count the time I set aside to watch inspector gadget! But I guess that's why Marty has gotten 4 tardies in a row!

Wait a minute, why is there a Burger King right outside of Doc's house? I mean literally right outside! Marty opens the door and he is in the Burger King parking lot. How does that happen? Does Doc ever get that weird feeling that the 'King' is peeking into his windows as he does his experiments? Freaky.

Did anybody else try to hang onto the back of a car on a skateboard after they saw this movie as a kid? I tried to, but I could never catch the back of the car! They go pretty fast! I guess I should have hung out in a Burger King parking lot.

The ultimate Joy buzzer!

Yowzer! Talk about dramatic! At the last moment Doc got the power chords connected. Right as the lightning was striking. I guess for the quote in the drawing I should of said "Thunder" and not "Lightning". You don't hear lightning. But I bet Doc felt it! Am I right? Maybe this is why his hair is constantly standing straight up in 1985. 1.21 jigowats is one spicy meatball. I am surprised Doc isn't dead! Or at least impotent!

Time Travel Hangover

Good morning! Looks like Marty had a rough night! Look how he is laying. That doesn't look comfortable. I don't know about you but when I am extremely tired, I like to sleep in a relaxing position. Maybe time travel makes your body all losey-goosey! Maybe Marty has some sort of jello-body!

Who sets their alarm clock for 10:28 am? That's just weird. Why not 10:30? And how ironic that when the alarm goes off a song about time travel is playing! That would freak me out! That's too close to home. That we be like if you woke up and a song about waking up was on the radio! Weird! Maybe that Folgers in your cup song. Or 'wake me up before you go-go'. Isn't it weird that a wake is something you have when someone dies, but it also means to get up in the morning? Alright, I am way off topic.

Apparently Marty also suffers from some sort of tiny foot syndrome! See you in the future!

Anger Management

Watch out! Those Libyans are about to shoot Doc! This is bad. But why does Marty yell and then jump out in front of them afterwards? That doesn't make sense. It seems like he has a death wish or something. That Marty sure has anger issues! I think they hint on that later in the trilogy. In fact at one point he gets so angry that he grows long shaggy hair all over his body and then plays basketball like Charles Barkley or something! Oops. That's teen wolf. I get all of those MJF movies confused. MJF means Micheal J Fox. MJF is what the kids call him.

Hey, guess what? It's contest time! The first person to tell me which famous spanish painting inspired todays drawing will win some sort of prize! Who likes prizes?

floating away

This scene doesn't really happen in the movie. But Doc does make this comment and it made me wonder. What if there were some sort of problem with gravity in the future! That would be nuts! First of all your coffee table would float away, and then your lamp would float to the ceiling. And don't even try to give your dog a bone, because it will fly away too. Wow! This is heavy. But actually it is light.

Why is it so hard to become an astronaut?

Too many chromosomes

Oh my gosh! Loraine is lunging at Marty in a kissy-kissy manner. That's her own son! Disgusting. How come every time I draw Loraine she ends up looking like some bug eyed monster? Does that mean I hate woman? I don't think I do. I think it means I can't draw very well! I'll try to do better for you Loraine. Now stop trying to make-out with your own off spring! That could lead to deformities like I just drew! See you in the future!

Chopping Mall

Okay. So a couple of things. Marty really likes to skateboard huh? Why aren't his parents all that concerned that he has befriended a single, older, mad scientist man, that he sneaks off in the middle of the night to see? That raises a big red flag if I am a parent! Only bad things can happen at malls at 1:15 AM! How long will it be before "Marty, I need help with one of my experiments" turns into "Marty I need help taking a bath" Creepy! But I guess the mid 1980's were a simpler time.

Remember when malls had arcades! I liked to play Spy Hunter at SpacePort! Remember the candy Neco Wafers? You could suck them down until they were quarter sized and then stick them in the games! Free Rampage anyone?

Liquid Motivation

Way to order your beverages aggressively George! You tell that man what you want and tell him you want it now. Way to be assertive! Now go tell that girl you are taking her to the enchantment under the sea dance. Don't ask her, tell her!

Is chocolate milk some sort of George energy elixir? Like spinach for Popeye? Or bananas for banana-man? Or anger for the Hulk? Or poison spiders for spider man? Or ladies for Wilmer Valderamma?

I drew lines next to the chocolate milk to indicate movement. Did you catch that.

If the customers are this rude, maybe the soda jerk has a right to be a jerk!

Goldie likes to party

Re-elect "Goldie Wilson"? Lets exam the issues. It seems like Hill Valley has a problem with homeless people sleeping on city benches. The down town area is dilapidated and in need of revitalization. The schools seem to be at least fifty years old and completely run down. Teenagers are running wild hanging on the back of cars while ridding skateboards. The clock tower has been broken for decades.

I am sorry "Goldie", I can't give you my endorsement. You've had a nice run but I am voting for the other guy. Besides, that whole Samoan hooker debacle doesn't help your credibility either!

Skate or Die!

4th of July! Get out of here, and don't make us kick your butt again England!

Look at Marty ollie that bush! He's got Biff and his goons chasing him in a car! I think he's got the ghost/bees that come out when you run out of time from the Nintendo game 720 on his tail too! Remember that game? No, your thinking of Skate or Die. I am talking about 720. I liked that game. I really, really liked A Boy and his Blob.

That Marty is pretty good on a skateboard. He was extreme before extreme was eXtreme!

On the first day

Okay, okay. I kinda lied yesterday. This is the actual first scene in the movie. It's the first thing you see when you turn on the DVD. It's the earth! And has some cloudy rings around it. And the word universal in the middle. This got me thinking. How universal is Back To The Future? It seems like one of the least universal movies in the world. I don't think time travel is something that everyone can relate to. I don't think there are people in Cambodia thinking 'Boy, I hope my arm doesn't disappear because I am parking with my teenage mother!'

Maybe this movie should have been made by a production company called "Specific" or "UnUniversal" or "Miramax"

In the begining...

Top of the Morning! This is the absolute first scene in the movie. It's a bunch of clocks! Boy they were really trying to set the tone with the whole time thematic thing. They're practically hitting you over the head with clocks!

I think this is a pretty boring way to start off such an awesome movie. If I was in charge of BTTF I think I would have started the movie with some ninjas smoking crack on a trampoline or something! That would be exciting! Or maybe I'd start the movie off with George punching Biff in the face. Then thru an elaborate string of flashbacks work my way towards the beginning.

I think my favorite clock is the Felix the Cat one. That thing is pretty rad! Meow!
