Strange and Wonderful
This is a picture of the Karate Man that lives in my neighborhood. Karate Man was drawn on a scrap of multi-purpose copy paper then colored and cleaned up with Photoshop. Karate Man is a strange guy. In the summer he'll stand on the sidewalk in front of his house and swing his nunchakus around while striking different poses. His house is right next to a bus stop and a 24-hour quickie-mart so a lot of people pass by him. When someone walks by he'll strike a karate pose and just stare. It's a little creepy. However, once just as I was getting off the bus, I saw Karate Man come bursting through his front door, run over to the quickie-mart and chase away three thugs that where picking on this one younger kid. Karate Man didn't really hit anyone. He just waved his arms a lot and made some weird grunting noises. It worked. The attackers ran away.
Karate Man is just one of the many strange and wonderful things in my neighborhood. While drawing this I started to think of some of the strange and wonderful things I have seen in my other neighborhood and before you knew it I had added a bunch of those strange and wonderful neighbors into the Karate Man picture. I drew the pictures from memory. If they aren't as accurate as you like... too bad. I still love you all. Anyhow, lets see whom we have in the picture.
Look out! There's HELLCAT. Training in tough love.
Catnapping can be found Catnapping here or here.
I believe that is Mr. Detlef Jumpertz peeking out from behind Karate Man but I have only seen one picture of him and it was Fifi's interpretation of Mr. Jumpertz.
Speaking of Fifi, She is there looking stunning as always.
Caroline, who was kind enough to allow me to use this lovely green kitty for my ID photo for a while, is moving away from the cats to avoid being used as a scratching post.
Merlinprincesse is trying to assimilate us all because she is Borg.
Andrea is floating her magical blue cube in the sky.
And KG is above it all.
These are just some of the strange and wonderful places I try to visit on a regular basis. There are too many to mention. Maybe if you bitch enough I will find a way to add you to the picture. I do love you all. Will you please leave some love for me?

So glad I am SOOOOO much better looking than Fifi!!! Think I could scare Karate Man away by just looking at him ... he's a wimp. Detlef is ready to get his head chopped };-} Love you Unknown. Love.
By Hellcat, at 03:43
But I'm better looking than you, Hellcat! Wanna fight about it? (Put up your dukes.) Unknown love: can I borrow your image and post it, linking back to you? My ego demands it.
By andrea, at 09:01
I've already assimilated all of ya! But that's because I love you!!! (teehee) BTW, how are the babies... :o). And I'm more more more cute in real life. YEP. Love you and you and you...... and you too, dear Unknown!!!! (Fabulous drawing)...
By merlinprincesse, at 09:30

in english, that's:
rolling on floor, wetting my pants, with wild abandon.
By Catnapping, at 11:28
laughing.
By Catnapping, at 11:28
Wow is that me? You are right about the problem with being a potential scratching post... but I'm a bit more worried about the look that Fifi is giving me...
By Caroline, at 12:35
so worried I almost forgot the love
love
By Caroline, at 12:35
OH My Word! I AM as stunning as always! No wonder Hellcat is so jealous. heehee
Have I ever told you how much I love you? Well, I do!
By Baroness Von Wolfengeist, at 14:17
Fifi has not noticed with those dark sunnies that I have a body and she doesn't!! Love.
By Hellcat, at 14:30
Caroline ... wouldn't worry about FiFi cause she is NOBODY! You forgot to draw a nappy or diaper on Catnapping Unknown!!! Andrea has let Stardom go to her head ... Hellcat is waiting for her in the Snandbox with MUCH better looking dukes };-} Love your neighbourhood Unknown. Love.

As usual I've come to the party (fashionably) late. I like the fact that you've portrayed me as a debonair man about town (how apt and accurate). I note the elegant Fifi near by, again how apt as we bring the class to this drawing. In return, I will provide this site with a major scoop (not of poo but as in newsworthiness) that come 2006 I will be doing a self portrait so people get better handle on what a handsome bugger I am.
Love Karate Man, love my depiction even more, but really really love the Unknown.
Love
Detlef

Detlef is suck-up narcissist in a Class of his own! Can I chop his head now? Love.
By Hellcat, at 00:14
Oh my! this is quite funny indeed. If I saw karate man I think I would run away! Yikes! Nice tribute to your loving fans-love! Happy New year too.
By Todd DeWolf, at 06:13
I agree with Hellcat. Chop his head girl. So I will be the nicest narcissist in the gang...
Love. *borgblogblush*

By andrea, at 08:05
Detlef, I breathlessly await your self-portrait but if it is not finished by the end of this year I may suffocate.
Returning to hibernation, Unknown, may pop back up around Valentine's Day. Please be careful of Hellcat, she may be rabid.
Love,
FiFi
