The Moronik Store is back up! So go do all the freaking shopping that needs to be done! Enjoy and once again if there is any product that you have to have with your favorite 'Bad Kid' on it just email me your suggestions and I'll get on it. Thanks again.

Greta and the Loose Tooth!

It's official. pre-production on the next 'Bad Kids' movies has begun. After way too much time of great personal indecision on which story to tell, one has been picked. 'Greta and the Loose Tooth' is already being brewed in the depths of the Cinorom Studios. The story follows sweet Greta Greenbucket in her attempt to rid herself of a defiant tooth. Character Design will be done by the end of the week and the Disneyphile Jon Guerzon is currently taking a run at the storyboards. The release date for this new 'Bad Kids' tale is scheduled for the 1st of January. I will start moving this Blog into a production journal while we are in production. If you have any question or request please feel free to email me a moron@moronik.com .

Paul liked to beat up on lots of kids.

Then he met Bobby.

Now Paul gets beat up.

Jenny likes to make fun of people who are different.

For some reason she has no friends!

A full version of "The Saint of Liberty; 'Lilly'"

For about four months I have been writing what started out as a treatment for my next short film, but ended up turning into a short story and now is soo much bigger that I am afraid by the time I am finished it might be a novel. I have been posting these pages on this site as "the Saint of Liberty" here and there for the last several months. Well on Friday I was about to post another page, but didn't. I realized that it would be awkward for someone to read the "Saint of Liberty" if they were new to my website due to the way I have created the posting. So it was with this in mind that I decide to create a web page to make it a lot easier for someone to read the whole story and that is what I have done. I have not posted the whole "Saint of Liberty" that has been created, due to the fact that it is now about 80 pages long, but just one chapter I am calling "Lilly." As further chapters are polished up to where I think they are ok, I will add them to the site.

That said I give you "The Saint of Liberty; Lilly"

The Saint of Liberty - Part 8

Mr. Sugars afraid that he longer could not contain his anger stomped his foot which brought Steven’s eyes up from his hands. Mr. Sugars hand shaking in anger and wanting to strike the ungrateful young man, who had broke a month ban to steal more candy, slowly moved up and pointed to the door. Mr. Sugars talking though his teeth just said one word, “OUT!”
Steven had never seen Mr. Sugars in such a state before. Whenever Mr. Sugars was mad at Steven his voice would get really calm and Mr. Sugars would get down on one knee to be eye to eye with Steven. Mr. Sugars would then say some crap about how this was for his own good and how this hurt him just as much as it hurt Steven and so on. The rage in his eyes and redness of Mr. Sugar’s faced terrified Steven forcing him to take a step backwards but then Steven stopped. It had taken Steven a week to get up the courage to say the words that he needed to say to Mr. Sugars. Seeing just how mad Mr. Sugars was, convinced Steven that he had to explain things even more now than ever. Steven searched for some strength.
Before the ban from Mr. Sugars Candy shop he would have eaten three chocolate bars before attempting such a feat. Of course it had been impossible for him to get any chocolate bars for over a week now. He took a step towards Mr. Sugars pleadingly as he said, “M…M…Mr. Sugars. I…I…I just need to tell you…” Mr. Sugars could not take another word. The nerve of this boy, how dare him. Mr. Sugars snapped. In one big step Mr. Sugars grabbed Steven by the shirt and dragged him to the door. As Mr. Sugars opened the door he yelled “I said OUT!” and he threw Steven to the side walk. Steven hit the side walk with a nice thud smacking his left elbow against the wood walkway. A shooting pain moved from Steven’s elbow all the way up to his head. Before Steven even realized what happened Mr. Sugars was already back inside the candy shop. Steven in pain, shamed and embarrassed, started to cry. As the tears ran down his face several of townspeople walked by knowing that the boy had caused his own ruin. (art by the Great Ruben DeLuna)

Moronism #6

My good friend Ben has brought to my attention that I have been pathetically neglectful on posting. I am sorry. I have no excuse and hope that one day you will be able to forgive me.
That said, I promise to get in three post this week.....

My dear people I present you with Moronism #6:

Taking candy from strangers is Bad!

Unless of course the candy is really freaking good.

Moronism #5

Billy kicked his Dog for the fun of it.

Billy's Dog Bit Billy,

just for the fun of it!

Betty loved to steal all kinds of cool stuff.

The funny thing was so did the Kid that stole her bike!

Dante does it again!

I guess now it's an annual event. Dante 'the Great' Dondero has won student of the month. This is the Second year in a row that Dante has won Student of the month for Self-discipline. Ms. Meno, Dante's teacher, said as she was presenting this award that she had several times heard Dante say to other students "I'm sorry but I can't talk to you right know, I have school work to finish." Trust me when I say I have no clue where he gets this from. Lord knows I was always too busy drawing on desks, finding animals in the clouds or visiting other worlds in my head to think about school work. Dante's mother has never passed up an opportunity to talk with anyone. The only one that I know that had this type of focus at such a young age is Dante's Aunt Christine. It's a little strange how genetics work through a family tree.

So when your are in class or at work and that fellow student or co-worker walks up to you and tries to divert your attention to their new shoes or to talk about the Curious George film they saw, Think... "What would Dante do!" and get back to work.

Please don't do what Dante's dad would do which is say "Shut up and get back to work! I'm busy watching Ultraman kick Mighty Mouse's butt in that cloud which I am recreating on my desk." Cause that only get your English teacher's attention and within ten seconds she will be handing you the spray bottle of desk cleaner and a rag and force you to destroy the drawing you spent the last thirty minutes creating.

Remember "What would Dante do!" words to live by.

Moronism #3

Sally hates Dan because he pulled her hair, Dan had pulled Sally's hair because she told Fran that he had a fat head which Sally had said because Dan had told Jeff that she had a big mouth which Dan had said because... Well he can't really remember why he said that!

Moronism #2

I present you with Moronism #2:

Jonny loved to start fires,

that was until he burned his house down!

Moronism #1 and a quick shout out!

Before I post my Moronism #1, I forgot to thank a couple of other freaks:

David and Ben (aka - the DirtBoy's): You two made my day brighter. Little Maggie Simpson - (aka Maggie Simpson) First person to dawn the new 'Bully' T-Shirt which is also now available online and I least forget the talented Ruben DeLuna (aka - artist for BugGirl): it was great to have him come by and hang out on Saturday.

Now to Moronism #1 - I am going to start posting new Moronisms every Tuesday and Thursdays. On Wednesdays I will post the continuing story of the 'Saint of Liberty' and whatever news falls on me on Mondays and Fridays.

That said I present Moronism #1:

Sometimes you have to be bad

to learn how to be good!

(like refusing to eat your Brussel sprouts, only to make your mom really mad and have her put a bunch more on your plate and tell you that you aren't leaving the table until you have eaten them all. Then realize that your favorite TV show is about to start, so you cram every freaking Brussel sprout into your mouth so that you can leave the kitchen and go to the front room to watch TV. Only to have your mom demand that you swallow your food before you can go. Hearing the theme music to your show you attempt to swallow the ten Brussel sprouts that you had stored in your cheeks. Only to get a couple stuck in your throat. Not being able to breath you run to your mom and give her the international choking sign with both hands at your neck. She screams the loudest she can, "Oh my god! My baby's going to die!', as she spins you around and gives you the Heimlick maneuver, which not only sends all the Brussel sprouts in your mouth and throat flying, but also brings up the rest of your meal that you had eaten earlier. Before you have a chance to hold back your dinner flies from your mouth. All you can hear is the splat of your dinner as you puke it all over the kitchen wall. You spend the next 25 minutes cleaning the puke of the wall and floor just in time to watch the end credits of your favorite show. Next time your mom serves you Brussel sprouts you make sure that you either chop them up in to tiny pieces and mix them in with the other food, making the other food taste a lot worse but not as bad as Brussel sprouts by themselves or feed the Brussel Sprouts to the dog when your mom isn't looking. Weeks later you realize that your thirty years old and finally move out of your parents house and get a place of your own, where you never make Brussel Sprouts ever.)

The Love Fest that was WonderCon!

WonderCon was freaking great and just wanted to say thanks!

First of all - I can not tell you how great it is to have kids and grown-ups alike come up to our booth and say how much they love our comiks and movies. Nothing makes me happier! I want to thank everyone that came by, you Rock!

Nextly - I would like to thank Colin (Artist for Dirtboy) for all the hardwork this weekend. I would have had to pee in a jar at the booth or something, if he wasn't there. I doubt that I would have had one-tenth of the visitors say for sooo long if the booth smelled like urine.

Lastly - I would like to thank all the freaks that came to WonderCon. Be it the skin headed Bush hater with make-up or the Funking girl walking the isles with serious bed head and butt crack or the fifteen year old looking alcoholic with a hangover that had puked on her party dress the night before. without you, there would really be no reason to go! PS- you all need help and if there is anything I can do, please feel free to ask.

WonderCon is Emanant!

WonderCon, Northern California's premiere pop culture convention, is this weekend. February 10 - 12 (http://www.comic-con.org/wc/index.shtml). Not only are Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca from the Star Wars films), Herbert Jefferson Jr. ("Boomer" of the original Battlestar: Galactica), and Creature Features hosts Bob Wilkins going to be there, but so will I.

If you have the time this weekend and want to come into The City and see a bunch of freaks in costume, you should think about coming to WonderCon. Moronik Comiks will have a booth there and it would be great to have you come on by. My booth number is 716, right behind Slave Labor Graphics.

If you are going to WonderCon please don't forget to go by Rhode Montijo and Jamie Baker's: Abismo/Nerve Bomb Booth (number 812). If you are not familiar with their work or even if you are, you have to stop by and see the magic!

But come on, even if you don't want to see me, Peter Mayhew. How can you pass up Chewbacca!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
I hope you are doing well,

"The Saint of Liberty" - Part 7

Now before I present you with Part 7 of "The Saint of Liberty", don't forget to read the prior entries to get caught up if you need to. Also remember that A week from tomorrow is WonderCon and Moronik Comiks will have a booth there. Are booth number will be 716. We are located right behind Slave Labor Graphics.

Lilly moved towards Ms. Bates looking down at the shattered glass said, “Ms. Bates if there is anything that I can do for being so clumsy, please tell me.” Mr. Sugars grabbed a handful of butterscotch candy and put them into Ms. Bates’ hand as he said “Don’t you never mind, like Ms. Bates said ‘It was an accident!’” Ms. Bates having taken the candies and put them in her pocket started to pick up the broken pieces when Mr. Sugars said “Don’t you worry about that mess Ms. Bates, you have had a crazy day. I will get to it as soon as I give Lilly her ice cream." Mr. Sugars and Ms. Bates eyes met, Ms Bates feeling a little embarrassed made a b-line to the door. As she opened the door she said a quick goodbye to both Lilly and Mr. Sugars. Mr. Sugars now alone with Lilly helped Lilly get her boxes back into her arms. As Mr. Sugars move to the back of the counter to get Lilly’s ice cream the door to the shop opened and in walked little Steven Spazcosi.
Mr. Sugars felt flush with anger that Steven had dared to walk into his store after he had been banned. Not wanting to make a scene in front of Lilly he continue to move to the back of the counter, all the time glaring at Steven. Steven just stood a couple of feet away from Lilly staring at his wringing hands. When Mr. Sugars got behind the counter he realized that the cup of ice cream he had made for Lilly had dumped over. Mr. Sugars frustrated with the day he was having turned to his attention to Lilly and said, “I must have dumped your ice cream over during all the commotion. Let me get you another”. Lilly turned to face Mr. Sugars and said, “Mr. Sugars, I have been such a nuisance today, please don’t go though any more trouble on my part.” Mr. Sugars glaring at Steven said, “Lilly, YOU have never been a nuisance.” Just give me a quick second to get that for you.” Mr. Sugars turned his attention and body to the back wall that house his ice cream freezer.
Steven the whole time just kept staring at his red hands. Mr. Sugars turned back to give Lilly her ice cream. Lilly trying to figure were to put down her boxes said “Oh let me get your money. I must have put it back into my pocket after I dropped the boxes.” Mr. Sugar expecting Lilly to say this replied “Keep you money Lilly. This one is on the house. He stretched down to put the ice cream into the two fingers that Lilly had free on her left hand. Lilly trying to keep herself from dropping her ice cream said “Mr. Sugars you might be the nicest man in the world.” Seeing the bus out the window waiting for her, Lilly stared for the door and said “My bus! I have to go Mr. Sugars. Thank you again for everything.” As she got to the door she tried to position herself to get her hand on the doorknob. Mr. Sugars was angered that Steven had not moved a inch to help Lilly rushed to the front door. As he passed Steven, Steven looked up at Mr. Sugars. There was a look of grief on his face. Mr. Sugars bushed by Steven and said, “I will deal with you after I help Lilly out.”
Mr. Sugars open the door for Lilly and watched her as she bumped her way out of the shop and towards the bus stop. Before she reached the bus stop Mr. Sugars heard Steven starting to talk from behind him. Mr. Sugars had noticed that while he was helping Lilly out the door Steven had move right in front of the counter. Steven unable to face Mr. Sugars looked back down to his wringing hands as he said, “M…M...Mr. Sugars…..I…I…I need to talk to you. It’s about the candy. I just wanted to…I just wanted to tell you…” Mr. Sugars, afraid that looking at Steven who might make him even angrier than he was, looked towards the counter top. What he saw there just outraged him even more. There on the counter was the jar of ‘Drippity Droppity Double Dense Dutch Chocolate Bars’. Not ten minutes ago Mr. Sugars had filled it. Now it was less that half full.

There he goes again; Cloud Boy!

The Great Jamie Baker has just reviewed Rhode Montijo's new children's book 'Cloud Boy'. I know that if you been reading this blog lately you have noticed that I have been giving a lot of love to Mr. Montijo!

The Saint of Liberty - Part 6

Life is crazy and so am I! As I bang my head with a fury rarely seen against my over inflated ego, I must ask for your sweet forgiveness for not adding a post in a long time. So here it is Part 6 of the story of Sweet Lilly. Enjoy!


Mr. Sugars remembered how for years after Ben’s disappearance, Janet walked though her days in a daze. Mr. Sugars, now knowing Janet so well, knew that even at that young age she had planned out her whole life. It was apparent to Mr. Sugars that a huge part of Janet’s planned life had included her being married to Benjamin Packard. With Big Dumb Ben’s mysterious disappearance Janet’s dream life had come crashing down around her. It wasn’t for over ten years until she accepted that Ben was never coming back. It was at that time, after Janet had taken inventory of all the available men of Liberty that she settled to be Mrs. Sugars.
When all was said in done Mr. Sugars didn’t know what hit him. Not three months after Janet asked him out on their first date, they were married and the Philips family had given him the building he was now standing in and a huge chunk of start up money to do whatever he wished. Helen’s father stopped talking to Mr. Sugar’s upon hearing that his son-in-law was taking the hard earned cash he had given the young man to open a candy store. Janet didn’t take the news well either.
Mr. Sugars seeing Lilly did not see Ms. Bates, who was bending down to grab a handful of butterscotch candies, tried to prevent the collision by saying “Watch out there Lilly!” Mr. Sugars warning only made things worse. Ms. Bates wheeling around to see what all the commotion was smacked right in to the boxes Lilly was holding. This sent not only Lilly’s boxes for Jefferson City flying but also sent the bag of Glass horses that Ms. Bates was bringing to the Toy store which was owned Mr. and Mrs. Pearl. All Mr. Sugars saw was flailing arms, flying horses, Butterscotch candy and properly labeled boxes flying every which way. The crash was thunderous. Even though the glass horses were rapped in tissue paper, when they hit the floor, they shattered in to thousands of pieces, sending glass shards everywhere. Ms. Bates ended up on her back with her long hair completely covering her eyes. Lilly was completely covered in the boxes. With flurry Mr. Sugars ran around the counter, help Ms. Bates up and started to remove the boxes that cover Lilly. Ms. Bates followed Mr. Sugars lead trying to extract Lilly from the bottom of the pile.
As Ms. Bates picked up the boxes revealing a no worse for wear Lilly she began to laugh. Mr. Sugars and Lilly befuddled by the laugh look up at Ms. Bates. Ms. Bates seeing the wonderment on their faces showed both Mr. Sugars and Lilly the box that she had just picked up which was labeled and taped shut and said “The ten year old is smart enough to pack her goods in boxes and tape them shut! And what do I do? I just wrap my delicate glass figurines in tissue paper and put them in a bag.” Ms. Bates in fits of laughter continued, “I need to have my head checked.” Lilly seeing the shattered glass stopped stacking the dropped boxes, picked up a broken horse head with one hand and put her other hand to her mouth as she said “Oh, Ms. Bates! Your beautiful glass horses… I am so sorry! Can you forgive me?” Ms. Bates stacking Lilly’s boxes looked directly into Lilly’s eyes and said, “You don’t need to apologize. It was an accident. I bowled you over, right?” Lilly quickly looked away from Ms. Bates’ stare, scanned the room until her eyes found Mr. Sugars broom next to the door. Lilly started to move towards the broom and said “Let me clean this up.” Mr. Sugars stopped Lilly and said “Don’t you even think about! I will get to that later.” Mr. Sugars was pointing to the mess as he noticed Ms. Bates sifting though the broken glass. Ms. Bates seeing that both Lilly and Mr. Sugars were staring at her tried to explain her manic search, “I had created a special silver and glass horse for Mrs. Pearl. I spend so much time on it. I just wanted to look at it, even if it was just pieces. I can’t seem to find any of it. It must have shattered really good.”
