Stuff from the Odd Bins

For some reason, I thought of this image earlier this week and had a tough time remembering where I'd seen it. I knew it was from my childhood. It's Queenie Bee, the character from the Burger Queen restaurant chain. I'm not sure how far-reaching this chain was, but they're only a handful left and the character seemed to vanish when the chain became "Druthers." I wasn't sure a bee was the best character though, they're hardly cuddly, but you have to love her big 70's hairdo.

I found out today that the fourth season of Charlie's Angels is being released on DVD next month. This is the first season without Kate Jackson (sadly), but I always felt that Shelley Hack did a great job as an angel, certainly better than Tanya Roberts did in the forgettable fifth. I'll be picking it up (the fourth not the fifth).

I finally picked up my comics this week after being out of town. A welcome surprise at the comic book shop was finding Resident Evil, starring a burly mercenary named Holiday Sugarman. I'm enjoying the story and I love the artwork for obvious reasons.

Why more comic book characters aren't drawn with facial hair is a mystery (though Wonder Woman with a beard would be scary). It does inspire me to draw more. The first two issues of the six are already available.

she wasn't... she was totally just a bimbo who suddenly helped solve crime. I think they just went fully tongue in cheek at that point. Ooooh... I think I also really liked that season cause they did a lot of episodes in Hawaii which I was totally in my OMG I love Hawaii stage. I can't remember if they moved there, or just shot a whole bunch of stories there to make for more bikini shots or what.
