BLADE RUNNER themed RuBrats Sunday 08-15-1999!

We're not worthy.

You're DEFINITELY not, but I figured I'd share it with you anyway.

Canadians are so rude.

I know, right? Why can't they be more polite, like most Americans are known to be?!? And the French! Let's not forget the French! Especially how polite the French are towards American tourists. In Paris in particular. Oh, how they LOVE Americans there!

Quite quite fun (the art, I meant ^^).

But hey, it's NOT fate, destiny nor history if this does not lead to a movie and you can then flip it for an insane amount of money, is it?

I have to admit, as the single most valuable piece of art (of ANY kind!) in the entire world, it IS every tempting to sell it. After all, as long as everyone lives an average lifestyle as I do, the money would surely take care of all my heirs for hundreds if generations! But, I have to remind myself that Marcus sacrificed that same ability to financially take care of HIS heirs for eternity in order to gift this to me, so this has to remain in my possession forever.

This cracks me up!

YOU crack me up. I forgot to mention that the only thing that could possibly make this piece even more valuable than it already is, are dem titties! Unfortunately, this strip doesn't come with any of those....

You can always add some!

OMG, that's true! But, this is a priceless original. I could never sully it be having it modified!

a Sunday strip about 2 Fools watching Blade Runner, gifted by the biggest Fool our hobby has to offer....April Fools!...really brave of you to share this on CAF as it was written (don't forget Roberts, his scribe is second to only Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman...whoops I meant, Master Neil!..Gaiman is cancelled!) and illustrated by the greatest creative team in the history of narrative art (Fields and Blyberg are second only to ULAN and MANIX of course). I look forward to seeing this with an entire corner display dedicated to it at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts in 2026, with champagne glasses in our hands, while discussing our newfound love of cover recreations! HUGE CONGRATS!

Hah ha, awesome opening line! You know what's funny though? Until I read your comment, I didn't even realize that today is April Fool's Day! I simply posted it today because I always prefer posting on Tuesdays whenever possible!

By the way, how did YOU know that Lucas and I are in negotiations to do just what you revealed?!? Does having admin privileges on my YouTube channel also give you access to my email account?!?! Either way, now that you've spoiled the surprise, yes, I look forward to that day brimming with champagne wishes and caviar dreams, as we regale one another with tales of all our cover recreation acquisitions!

The Ark of the Covenant has been found! I am frozen with admiration. 

Yes it has indeed! Behold, young squire, and gaze upon its magnificence!

The THRILLS!! The ACTION!! The SUSPENSE!!  From the "P.U." to the prophetic "Flipped", this is a Sunday strip for the Sunday show guy to be enjoyed over root beer floats.  Looking forward to the puce colored mat for the frame.

I am forever in your debt, my friend. I shall indeed raise a frosty glass with root beer float in your honor! But, are you sure it should be a puce colored mat, or did you mean to say a pubes colored mat?

I had more hair back then!  

Well yes, but keep in mind that while it was drawn in 1999, the events depicted happened in 2024, when you DIDN'T. Miki explains how that's possible down in his comment below.

If it was not April 1st I might just believe this.

Peter, as I mentioned to Kavi up above, until I read his comment, I didn't even realize today was April Fool's Day. Purely coincidence, I assure you.

" this event happened just last fall in 2024? How could the event have already been immortalized in a comic strip back in 1999?"

They obviously took a trip through the quantumverse!

EXACTLY! Thanks, Miki, I've referred a couple of people who commented up above to this post explaining the timeline.

I had to look away lest my eyes melt due to the massive luminescence of this life altering piece of art!  In fact, I am not even worthy of commenting, lest I tarnish the brilliance of this historic piece.  Thank you, sir, for allowing peasants such as myself to ogle this stunning piece of artistic mastery!  And as to the origin of this masterwork: obviously, the artist and writer time traveled to the future to behold this historic showing of Blade Runner!  Many congrats!

Yes, avert your gaze, peasant, lest your unworthy eyes sully the ineffable purity of this masterpiece, a creation so divine that mere mortals dare not behold it without reverence! (And thanks!)

Im not sure what's better, the art or the description. Fantastic and glorious pinacle of your collecting years. ALl is complete now. Rest, your work is done!

Thank you, Jason. Indeed, I shall take a respite from my day's work.

The best Ford is Hanover Street...

Well, considering that every one of his movie appearances is basically a retinal hazard and an assault on the ears, I’m not sure that’s a huge compliment.

And to be clear, the best Ford is Age of Adeline, only because it's an amazing movie, yet Ford is such an insufferable & forgettable actor that it took someone else to remind me that he was even in it!

This would be even more impressive viewed while wearing rose-colored glasses ;)

OMG, can you even imagine what that would be like, Rick?!? I think you'd risk passing out if you even risked THINKING about what that would be like!

This belongs in a museum!!  (And if you think this one's good, you should see the strip where Rubén saw 'The Secret Life of Pets 2' for the first time...)

Hearty congarts (not a misspelling)!  The only thing more special than locking down the priceless original is sharing it here with us on AFD (April Fools Day, or "Air Force Dunce", whichever you prefer)!

No, it definitely belongs in my home. Museums would just lock it away in their basements and not show it to anyone. If you think today being April Fool's Day makes the art more special, then more power to you, I say. But as I told a couple of other guys up above, I posted it today because I usually post on Tuesdays. I didn't realize it was AFD until Kavi mentioned it. Frankly, it's not a fake holiday I ever liked or cared about. I always thought it was stupid, with so many people telling stupid lies and making stupid jokes. So I usually don't realize it's AFD on April 1st until I see someone mention it. To me, all April 1st ever meant was that my dad's birthday was one day away!

Down with Han Solo! Down with Harrison Ford!

In my view at least, this is the best reverse-reverse-reverse-psychology I have witnessed in a long time - unless Rubén's subconscious did a double-take on him. And I receive the email notification for this artwork together with an email notification from Jeff himself about the sale of artwork. A coincidence? You decide! That having been said - I'm sorry, Rubén, but I don't really care for the artwork - your description is, as always, worth the time I took to read it. And here ends the first non-comment on CAF I have ever written. Please give me a No Prize, Rubén. Excelsior!

Just to be clear - it's about reverse-reverse-reverse-psychology that April 1st had nothing to do with the posting of this particular piece of art.

"Reverse-reverse-reverse-psychology"? Is that even a thing? I'm not sure exactly what part of my very obviously serious description would ever make you think I was being anything other than serious, CAB, but since you've already admitted that you don't even like this artwork, which by any measure is greater than any other artwork the world has ever seen, then I suppose it doesn't matter. I still thank you profusely for your first ever non-comment and your No-Prize is on its way!

Many thanks, my friend. And a nice try at reverse-reverse-reverse psychology yet again!

😅 😂 🤣

Oh, of course not. Absolutely nothing.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Rugrat strips on fire off the shoulder of the EXP. I watched Al Williamson inks glitter in the dark near the OAX Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

That's what I was thinking!

Is it for all time, this feeling of joy?

Indubitably!

Says the guy with a partially covered, hot redhead, as his avatar. I presume that is the joy you're feeling?

Have to admit, loves 2049.. but failed to like the 1st one..watching a couple of times to see if I would get to like it. 

AsI keep saying, the cinematography really stood out to me, it was beautiful. But I don't watch movies in hopes of seeing beautiful cinematography, I watch in hopes of being entertained by a good story with good acting. With the cinematography taken out of the equation, it was an okay movie. Average. Not bad by any means, but certainly nothing great, either, let alone the greatest Sci-Fi flick or God forbid, the greatest movie of all time like some people like to convince themselves it is.

Nice and fun!

Thanks, Nick, it sure is!

So wrong it's right! 

Or......so right, it's wrong?

The resemblance is spot on.  Subject mattee is uncanny.  The perspective skewed as always.  Harrison Ford simply nails the performance.

If by "nailing the performance" you mean like nailing the coffin shut on good acting, yes, he has definitely been nailing it shut since 1977.

Wow...somebody "get to the choppa."  lol

Are you suggesting he is wooden because he was a carpenter?

I wasn't, but now that you mention it....
