Actually, there are more McCoven folks who could be done. I’m thinking particularly of the TakeAGiantStepAndGo folks, but also some of our more idiosyncratic regulars, like GRM or wilriv, or, dare I say it, one victor frankenstein.
Also, xeifrank.

A Godzilla vs King Kong style wrestling match between Sabs and Boras staged on or around the Golden Gate Bridge.
Or, since Boras isn’t really that distinct as a caricature, you could sub in Zito.

I like that it show that Barry is clearly smarter of the two, as his wide stance(!!) straddling the Bridge gives him the advantage in this kind of fight.
Instant favorite, lets green this!
Manny reminds me of the aliens from Independence Day!
I’m also confused by Barry’s stance, it looks like it would be uncomfortable to have the bridge between your legs and have to position your body to one side of the bridge’s cables. That and some cars look like they’re about ready to drive into his crotch and or ass.

How about something like a class picture?
Hear me out on this one….
Us “regulars” or irregulars, if you will, send you a headshot and you do a real quick characterature based on only the headshot we submit and what we’re known for here on MCC. Assemble all the inidividual characters into a “class picture” of sorts, with our names on the bottom listed by row and from L to R.
The Goofus character could be dancing on the side with nobody in particular paying attention to him…
Grant could play the part of headmaster, yardstick in hand…
Xeifrank could be nothing but a ’puter screen on a pair of shoulders…
The Pokeman posse could be huddled together doing whatever it is they do!
Does this make any sense, or am I just a blathering idiot?

I’m doing illustration work for a game company, but I got a degree in Animation at the Art Institute of SF. Before that, I got a BA in fine art from UC Santa Cruz. While I like and appreciate fine art, I couldn’t picture myself doing it for a living. I’m really into comics and animation, so I decided to go to school for that after UCSC.
I'm kind of the same way
