official post

It’s official. On November 17th, the House of Rock will have a Fifth roommate.

Jon Abad.

Yes, the rumors are true. Jon Abad will be moving into the House of Rock.

In celebration of Jon Abad’s return to the North East, I have made this House of Rock Crest:

housecrest
Rock music, Rock climbing, Hot Chicks, and Batman fighting Dinosaurs.
We are… The House of Rock.

    I think this is one of the better drawings Mike’s done since I’ve known him.

    While writing up my announcement, I said in passing to Mike: “Does the House of Rock have a crest?” and he replied “Hold on.”
    Then this.

    Intense.

    Dear Jill,
    If you’re not mature enough to go to the House of Rock and hold hands, make out, and have tickle fights with other women, then perhaps you should keep your comments to yourself.

    Sincerely,
    Tim

    Those two ladies do look like the Wayans in White Chicks.

    Dear Jill,

    I agree with you – what’s up with the strangely huge breasted women who look like men, or men who look like women pretending to be men dressed up as women? In any case, it’s the weak corner of the crest, and I suggest the artist revisits it.

    Sincerely,
    Theresa

    The story behind the women.

    As I started the Crest I asked for advice from my roommates as to ways to improve it. Sander motioned for a rock climbing corner. Jesse motioned for a corner including large breasted bisexual mermaids. I think they look slightly manish because I’m terrible at making feminine facial features. Do others think that I need to fix this corner before the crest is finalized?

    What amazes me most is that people are talking about the picture of the women, and not about Batman fighting Dinosaurs!?!? Seriously people.

    Batman.
    in a fight.
    with a dinosaur.
    who would win? I don’t even know! Dinosaurs are vicious, but batman is crafty.
    I think that this frame really embodies the House of Rock chi.

    No kidding — I was immediately drawn to the Batman vs. dinosaur corner. It would be a mighty battle, indeed, but I truly believe that the dinosaur would ultimately perish. Nothing stands a chance against the dark knight.

    As for the manly women… I think the facial features are all right (higher cheekbones and smaller chins couldn’t hurt, though). The main issue is the torsos. Men have wide torsos and small hips; women have small torsos and wide hips. Just reverse the curves and you’d be all set.

    Those babies look like too much for me to handle.
    Hey Mike, not all hot women have huge breasts…

    I’d like to point out that Jesse specifically requested “large breasted bisexual mermaids” The fact that they Happen to be hot is likely just a coincidence.

    Dear Theresa,

    Please come up with your own format for comical and witty replies. I already do this, and there’s not enough room on mikedidonato.com for two parody-letter-writers.

    And you haven’t written back to my email. Work on that, please.

    Yours Truly,
    Tim

    Dearest Theresa,

    Your appreciation of my literary wonders is duly noted and nestled in a special place in my heart. I hope that you continue to find enjoyment in the silly things that my fingers type.

    Stay dry,
    Tim

    Benjamin,
    My sweet fire-haired freak. I believe that you are just jealous that we once had this.
    Perhaps we should go shooting sometime. How about this weekend? Will that make you feel better?

    Batman would totally win. Have you ever watched the Justice League, or the Super Friends? Sure, both could get along with just Superman, but the bad guys always have a way to overpower him. Green Lantern is too emotional, the Flash is a smartass. Who always saves the day? Not aquaman, that’s for damn sure. It’s Batman! Oh yeah! Plus, he totally has Wonder Woman in his pocket. If you’re hooking up with an immortal demi-goddess, you’ve got to have confidence to spare, and confidence is what allows you to tackle dinosaurs.

    In summary, yes, batman would beat a dinosaur.

    Batman was hooking up with Wonder Woman in Justice/Superfriends? WHOA PLOT TWIST! I had no idea! How long has this been going on?

    I disagree. The characters that Batman always defeated were small in size, at least in the old TV show and the movies I’ve seen. Human-sized people. And yet those little human-sized people managed to routinely “almost” get him.

    Dinosaurs wouldn’t tie him up. They’d just eat him.

    This is mainly from the JLA comics series, but yeah, there was a little bit of sexual tension in the Cartoon Network series too. Superman wanted Wonder Woman too, but the Dark Knight is just too mysterious and charming. Bruce Wayne wins again.

    Batman doesn’t beat the bad dudes by overpowering them, he’s just a rich dude with gadgets. He outsmarts them, and uses their obsessions/strengths against them. Ras-Al Ghul even goes so far as to call him “detective”. Dinosaurs have very obvious obsessions and strengths, i.e. they are hungry and very large and stupid. Check and Mate.
