Buck A Duck! A Random Twiki Doodle | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #044

Somebody blasted a “Buck Rogers In The 25th Century” publicity photo (circa late ‘70s) into my Facebook feed and… well… I had nothing to do, so my mind went to a moronic place:

Doodled for an audience of one: me!

Tonight on Buck Rogers : Twiki vs The Tamagotchi!

Remember that Tamagotchi fad decades ago? Anyone? Well, as Twiki quickly discovered, those things became exceedingly annoying pretty quickly!

An ol' gag of mine, originally published in Starlog #255 (20+yrs ago) in b/w, but recently colored here for your viewing.

Penned as my first published pseudonym “Big Bad Bubba” - c.1998 - back before changing to ”Bort”.

From the (poorly scanned) pages of Starlog Magazine #268 (pg. 22 to be accurate) comes a “crossing the streams” gag - where one universe merges somewhat with another.

In this case, it's Vader sporting a new life support control box in the form of Dr. Theopolis from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century (Universal, 1979-1981). And thus, Vader's trademark breathing sound now sounds a lot like Twiki.

FYI: from 1998, my pen name for my gags was "B.B.B." (Big Bad Bubba) until 2006 when my BortQ. pseudonym took over.
