Ocryx and Joe
Ocryx and Joe saving the Kalakala- RR style
Yes, the Kalakala is still in grave danger- perhaps RR style is the only way to get people to do something? Er, maybe not...

Recently again, RR was complimented for nice work on an O&J comic. Well, you see, RR doesn't do O&J. The Jinxmedics do O&J. O&J are clean pen-and-ink with grayscale shading. RR does loose pencil work with a gradient halfscreen background, and usually involves gross body imagery of execretory function, or some-such.
If the jinxmedics were to draw RR style, it would look something like this....

 by Chris 7.2 on 1/25/2012 @ 8:56am | This grossness impresses me. |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 8:58am | the parodied tacomic inspired another young cartoonist back in the day too comics.feedtacoma.com/fail-whale/fail-wh... |
 by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 9:02am | Don't you mean "parity"? |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:03am | hoot!!! |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 9:07am | Trying to find your "True Grit in MS Paint", but to no avail. That one had some truly great H8TR comments... |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:09am | lord knows I love drawing crows... comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/tacomic-mo... comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/12-9-08-me... comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/tacomic-fi... but if you look closely I'm really drawing ravens. You can tell because ravens have wedge tails, crows have fan tails.. However it is kinda fun confusing people. |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:12am | ah... internet gold www.cartoonistsleague.org/city_arts/ and www.cartoonistsleague.org/true-grit-true... why do you have to go picking at scabbed wounds ? |
 by Erik on 1/25/2012 @ 9:15am | Impressive Jinx....I didn't know you had it in you...I think I know the FB thread which set you off on your rage! |
by Chris 7.2 on 1/25/2012 @ 9:15am | Parity on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity There are so many funny ways to interpret it. |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 9:15am | Erik: Heh. Chris 7.2: The "parity" I referenced was a mispelling of "parody" by A Jeremy Gregory fan. An excerpt appears here: ruby cooley said, January 13, 2010 @ 3:01 pm The comic you posted as a parity to Jeremy Gregorys work was a sad attempt at reproducing something great. Dont quit your day job, your not so good. 4.RR Anderson said, January 13, 2010 @ 6:10 pm I must admit the P-A-R-O-D-Y was indeed a sad attempt to imitate the characteristic style of TRUE GRIT for comic effect or ridicule. Y-O-U-’-R-E correct in your assessment of greatness. Thank you! |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:16am | MEANWHILE HERE IS AN UPDATE ON THE KALAKALA FROM THE KALAKALA OWNER (via facebook): Mr. Leonard Boekelman, from Stockton, CA. owns Global Seaven Oceanic, LLC, Leonard and his wife, Ronald Waling (Bellevue), and Kimberly Schmidtke(Bellvue) were the new Kalakala buyers. The Kalakala did sell with a Bill of Sale signed December 18, 2011 at the Hilton Hotel in Bellvue, WA. They did pay $1.00 but failed to place any more funds into escrow. They were real and Leonard was a millionaire not billionaire as media stated. They promised to pay for immediate safety repairs and tow her to Stockton, CA June 18, 2012. No funds, no works done for repairs, and so their Bill of Sale became Null & Void. Other fund interests with private equity firm in Houston, TX. is in process. First fund application is in process and may take up to 120 days.Many other interests were presented but nothing worthy of saving her. Charles Medlin, failed in 2003, to purchase the Kalakala. He tried and failed again.Steve Rodrigues is meeting with Washington State Ferries executive director regarding Pier 48 in Seattle. Pier 48 is owned by WSDOT. Steve will share the Texas loan and investment fund and requesting the Kalakala project to become a part of the 2025 Seattle waterfront development master plan. This is the home of the Kalakala, and where she belongs. We are only asking for a $1 per year 20 year moorage lease. Steve is also asking waterfront committee and businesses, county executives, city officials for letters of endorsement to allow the Kalakala to have her future home in Seattle. The fund is important to identify where the Kalakalaf will have a home and generate future operating revenues. In the mean time The Kalakala SEC private offering is still selling $1 per share. Phase I is to close July 3, 2012 or after selling up to a $1 million. Anyone in America can purchase these Kalakala shares today. friend THE KALAKA today! www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12283433... |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:17am | also >> today.seattletimes.com/2012/01/ferry-kal... Kalakala was never the source sheen |
by Chris 7.2 on 1/25/2012 @ 9:24am | Somebody in Hollywood should buy the Kalakala as a spaceship prop and put giant pencils on it for engines. I wish somebody in the movie biz would get RR's hints already. |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 9:32am | I'm inspired to draw more guest strip tributes. Here is how you draw crows! comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/tacomic-le... |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 9:39am | That's not how I draw crows... I simply draw an outline in ink, scan it, and color it in Photoshop. |
 by CaptainBritton on 1/25/2012 @ 9:59am | Where's your tutorial on eating crow?
|
 by cisserosmiley on 1/25/2012 @ 10:02am | I'm speechless |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 10:05am | if I had fully developed, reoccurring characters in a cartoon strip I was drawing they'd each have individual feed>>tacoma commenting accounts. imagine! REAL cartoon strip characters interacting with the fans! It is why god invented multiple internet browsers! (subtle hint) |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 10:15am | Hmmmm.... |
 by gritz thekat on 1/25/2012 @ 10:21am | Excellent idea, the crows should be able to comment! |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 11:06am | another KALAKALA update! threesheetsnw.com/blog/2012/01/kalaka-co... |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 11:25am | My grandpa and I snuck aboard the Kalakala back when it was in lake union. Took some video too of the interior. Wonder if I can find it.  above was a picture from the front of the ship. a whole rusty floor was removed in alaska to make this big space for the fish processing equipment... the hippy seattle artists thought it would make a great theater performance space. |
 by AmericanWoman on 1/25/2012 @ 11:47am | NineInchNachos has yet another interesting idea. |
 by Thorax O'Tool on 1/25/2012 @ 11:52am | We already know how this ends up... |
 by Kaosmstrss on 1/25/2012 @ 12:09pm | Ahahahaha! *wipes a tear* Oh geeze. I needed that today |
 by ixia on 1/25/2012 @ 12:45pm | Pure gold, Jinx! and what Kaos said ... |
by NineInchNachos on 1/25/2012 @ 1:07pm | it wasn't that bad... comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/tacomic-pa... |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2012 @ 6:24pm | Yes it was. It was really, really, bad. |

by NineInchNachos on 1/26/2012 @ 8:32am | I believe he is typing in old-mordor tongue |
by Thorax O'Tool on 1/26/2012 @ 10:25am | "Old-Mordor tongue"? You mean this?  |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/27/2012 @ 8:31am | "One ferry to rule them all" |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/27/2012 @ 10:37am | The original art for this Tacomic - er, "Ocryx and Joe" is for sale. Only $666.66! (or make offer) This piece features both pen-and-ink and RR-inspired loose scratchy pencil on the same piece of paper! It's like two completely different pieces of art for the price of one! |
 by Maria on 1/27/2012 @ 3:19pm | Jinxmedic: "One ferry to rule them all" LOL!!!!! (BTW, amazingly accurate homage in the illustration. It had just the right mix of visceral repulsion, style and commentary.) |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/27/2012 @ 4:13pm | Pretty repulsive, isn't it? Ugh. :-) |
by NineInchNachos on 1/27/2012 @ 4:36pm | you'd never see this in a respectable (boring) mainstream newspaper. Only on feed tacoma folks! Underground cartooning at it's best! |
by Non Sequitur on 1/27/2012 @ 4:50pm | Is RR 4nd3r50n the Thomas Nast of the 21st century? |
by NineInchNachos on 1/27/2012 @ 4:54pm | we are all thomas nast. draw draw draw! |
by Non Sequitur on 1/27/2012 @ 5:10pm | Perhaps, but Nast was born before the discovery of Int3gr1ty. |
by NineInchNachos on 1/27/2012 @ 6:01pm | I'm totally going to steal that! |
by Non Sequitur on 1/28/2012 @ 1:48pm | You have my permission to use it, but only if you use it awesomely. |
