Attempted Assassination of Former President Trump

Trump: 'Fight!''Fight!''Fight!'



I first want to say thank God it appears at this early point that Former President Trump seems to have survived the attempt on his life with only minor injuries. My thoughts and prayers go out to the others also hit by gunfire in the attempt on his life whose fates are at this point unknown.

The responsibility for this heinous moment in our history will ultimately be attributed to an individual or individuals, or perhaps even some larger group they acted on behalf of, but let us not be fooled that the inflammatory and unhinged rhetoric routinely and irresponsibly spewed out by members of the 'media' and Democrat politicians including the current sitting President of the Untied States have played a large roll in bringing this moment to life.

Falsely claiming over and over that 'Trump is Hitler', that 'he will end democracy' and that 'he represents an existential threat to our country' will invariably drive some of those who believe that nonsense to act upon it with predictable and tragic results.

So in the hours, days, weeks and months ahead...when somber politicians and their supporters in the media momentarily sobered by recent events declare political violence unacceptable...remember some of their earlier words that made such violence inevitable.

"Apu-calypse"? Genius! :D

I've seen some by other people so you definitely started something.

I pulled generic images off the internet and just recolored them, or designed the outfits around what was already there in their basic design. The first one I did was the family, and with the popularity of that one from fans, I started doing the others. Looking back, I should have added a lot more characters... Like, "Apu-calypse", and so on. But, back then it was taking up a lot of my time, so I abandoned it after a while. Some people even made up their own versions of other characters over time.

I love these!

I know I have seen some of them before, but I don't think I've seen all of them. The group/family one is definitely 'internet famous'.

The Family, Grampa Simpson and Mr. Burns mashups are my favorites.

I didn't have Photoshop either, I used something called 'Photostudio' by a company called ArcSoft. The old version I used for years wasn't much better than MS Paint, but they had a 'clone' tool I used to swipe effects that I could never produce on my own. I learned to do a ton of editing/cleanup at the pixel level with that program and I still do that today.

Once upon a time, back when I was a regular on the CBR forums - some 15 years ago, I decided to do a mash-up of my two favorite IP's. The X-Men and the Simpsons. It took me a while to do them because I didn't have Photoshop, so I literally colored each one in MS Paint pixel by pixel. I didn't sign my name on any of them because I wanted to share them with the world. I'm sure they're internet famous at this point, but I wanted to take this platform to express my love of the X-Men and The Simpsons.

Some of these are awesome!

I especially like the Wolverine cover by Roge Antonio and the Venomized Godzilla cover by Dave Wachter.

Great to see they are also FINALLY reprinting Marvel's 1970's Godzilla series by Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe’s in color. They did one of those Black-and-White Essential editions several years ago, but that's all. Champion's completists can finally add this to their bookshelf...
