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.

10.58 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!

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.
