STEAMPUNK PALIN

Tuesday, January 25, 2011



Somebody made a comic book about a steam-powered, bionic Sarah Palin. The plot sounds even more wacky than you'd think.

I can think of several possible explanations for how this thing came to be...

* The book's creators were brainstorming one night, and they came up with a seemingly foolproof plan: Steampunk is popular, and Sarah Palin is (sadly) popular... So, steampunk + Sarah Palin = PROFIT!!!

* It started as one of those improv writing exercises where you scribble a bunch of random crap on pieces of paper, draw them out of a hat and then try to combine them into a story. So it was either Steampunk Palin or something about Lady Gaga and a rollerskating bear in a waffle house. (Actually, I think I'd much rather read that comic book.)

* Somebody has a very exotic fetish. The cyborg Sarah Palin pinup pages (Choke!) in the book would seem to bear this one out.

Come to think of it, this book may well qualify as a Hi-Fi Pizza of the Apocalypse.
