This — is not one of those times.
Good Evening.
My name is @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself.
This morning I present to you the tragedy that is my life as an artist sometimes.
Working day in and day out. Sun goes up. Sun goes down. Trying to create all that is the next masterpiece.
I have failed.
Bags under my eyes for — nothing.
Twenty gallons of coffee and three packs of cigarettes all for — nothing.
The children were young and now they're old. Their life flashed before my eyes. "Daddy. When will you make us rich?"
Never.
At least, not if I keep this up. "Sorry children. Daddy has failed."
Unfortunately, the show must go on.
All lovers of the comics and the superheros should probably shield their eyes now.
You can stop the drum roll.
Behold!
I'm ruined...
I can already hear the reviews from the web pouring in now:
"Captain Catastrophic doesn't deserve to be a number one hit on Google."
What does that even mean? Jeez. These people...
I'm reminded of the time I tried to draw Batman:
To this day, people still don't believe me when I tell them, "He's standing right there! Looking out the window! What do you mean you can't see Batman!"
And when I put Superman in a blender with a dash of kryptonite:
... all they did was boo and say mean curse words.
Maybe I should just retire from the world of superhero creation. I suck at it.
This is so embarrassing.
Then someone is going to read this someday and think I'm being serious which only makes things worse!
I'm having a bad day.
Such a bloody mess.
This post was supposed to be about Captain Catastrophic, and I can't even do that right.
Now these people on Hive will be afraid to speak to me.
All that work and I just keep digging my hole deeper and deeper.
Soon this post will be over and that'll be the only thing to happen here that actually made people happy.
. . .
Have a nice day.
Are we 'social distancing' here now as well? I didn't get the memo...
I'm telling you man, reading this post while looking at my screen through binoculars ... it ain't easy!
Btw, I saw Batman.
Speak up! Can't hear you from all the way over here!
Batman is about the only obvious thing here today. What a strange sentence...
'What a strange sentence...'
Don't worry, this social distancing can cause strange things to us.
To make sure I called my shrink yesterday, to ask hime if it is normal that I talk to the walls and plants a lot lately.
He said I'm fine for now but I should call him again when those walls and plants are talking back ...
I've been staring a lot at the walls lately. One just said, "Do I look like a window?"
That's normal, right?
It's ok man.
Just another wall with a major inferiority complex.
Damn dry wall.
People aren't taking any chances.
Don't worry. I lysol wiped my keys before saying this.
I bleached my eyes before reading.
I snorted vinegar because a meme said it might help.
Memes are the best source of health advice - second only to Gwyneth Paltrow
i thought social distancing was always cool in steem and now hive. i lived in a lie?
hey I can see batman looking out the window! And for the life of me I can't see those 3d pictures that you are supposed to squint at. But I saw batman, and I am taking that to the bank
Oh my god someone spoke to me!
I named that piece Depressed Batman. It tells an entire story. I think I made it about three years ago. You might be the first to see him. Incredible.
batman actually seems pretty obvious to me, but then again I am a bit of a weirdo.
This time around I published a map leading exactly where to look. I don't normally do that with my art. For instance, this post probably doesn't make much sense. Reading between the lines, it basically describes Captain Catastrophic. I couldn't think of a better way to do that.
Captain catastrophic looks like he has a worm coming out of his ear.
And yes I can see Batman.
That's probably just an ear worm. Nothing to be afraid of.
Congrats on the Batman thing.
I'm Batman!
Stop with your voyeurism you creep!
They said I could be 50 meters away!
I need to self isolated myself on hive blockchain right
Thank you for caring about us.
Captain Catastrophic has a very fitting blobfish helmet
Hey couldn't find one his size.
Ha, yes! I freaking love it! And I definitely see Batman, somehow I get the sense he's looking out the window at Captain Catastrophic. Bravo!
Maybe he wishes they could be friends again.
I think Captain Catastrophic head a good career ahead of him/her/it as a soft toy plushy thing!
I guess that's still better than stocking shelves.
Almost...
Captain Catastrophic looks like he's blowing a kiss to someone. He sort of looks like a middle-aged guy that is out of shape from sitting around the TV too much, but has recently discovered his superhero powers, and now doesn't know how to handle his popularity with the ladies.
I remember Batman. And Robin who is behind him. Or is that his nemesis about to get him...
Captain Catastrophic has many more problems on top of those listed. It's not my place to talk about these things though.
And to be honest, I can't remember what was going through my mind when I made Batman. I think I was simply moving colors around and noticed how something looked like Batman and just went with it. I don't know.
