Okay, I’m feeling kind of burned out tonight, it was busy at work and I just feel like having a bazillion few beers. My plan was just to wander around on my way and stop in a few places and get a beer. I’m just about to leave, but the only thing that could throw a wrench into that plan is the fact that there could be a major thunderstorm going on right now. I have no windows in the room where I work, so I’m not sure what it’s doing out there. If it is storming, I’ll have to take the subway home...and I think we all know what that means. Al, you better pray the weather gods are on your side. You’ll see in the first photo because I’m just getting ready to leave now.
Holy freaking guacamole, it's coming down in sheets out here...to the Fortress of Solitude!
I made it to the escalator, but I'm soaked. At least people are standing still on here for once.
Let's check that nasty card section at the Duane Reade and see if they've cleaned up their act.
I've got to talk to a manager about these things soon. The cards in here are really starting to personally attack me!
Almost there!
Ahhh...the Fortress of Solitude!
The beer is poured...
And it's time to settle in.
Gumby's comfortable and tonight I brought some paper to draw on instead of using the shitty napkins from here. I thought I'd draw a trilogy of rock stars and here's the results of tonight's Papaya drawings.
Uh, oh...they're bringing in supplies and look who's stowed away up there on the right...aaaahhh! Time to get out of here!
Up the escalator...
And out into the night where it's stopped raining! Hurrah! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.

Bonus Artwork!
MAD commenter csp commisioned a special piece of art for MAD from the artist, Blü. It's a sad portrait of the Cardboard Box Man and a hot dog. Check it out below.
I almost feel sorry for him now! And below is a piece of artwork from csp himself, hanging at the CMWHYKAY Gallery in the heart of the fashionable garment district in Manhattan. Fantastic work, csp!

Bonus Photo From Jaws!
Jaws just sent in this photo and here's what he wrote: "In honor of your umpteenth visit to your Papaya heaven, I'm including my own tiki style concoction with (Ta-da) my very own steel swizzle stick! The Screwyapapa Royal...one part fresh squeezed orange juice, one part vodka, and one part Fanta pinapple soda...cheers!"
Looks delicious, Jaws! Cheers to you!

That's a mighty big wiener you've got there!
P.S. That owl looks high.
Beatles "Rain" video was worth the ride today,,,,,just to see Paul missing his front tooth was funny. Did you get your weekly Papaya fix? hope so,,,,lol
Did you get your customary "Norm!" greeting there ?
@Biff: That's what they said to Anthony! Owl be damned!
@Al: I've always wondered about his missing tooth in the video too! He had Beatle money, couldn't he have gotten it fixed before they shot that?
@GENE: I did!
Love the drawings! carry paper with you at all times, plz!
Your best drawings yet! Loved them! And the boxman drawing is sad, but I refuse to feel sorry for him! LOL!
All of that Zappa talk has got me thinking of when Zappa would mangle his Beatle covers. Actually, they were great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVF66GVj8zU
@Isabella: Will do, I promise!
@Barfly: Thanks and it is hard to feel sorry for the evil Cardboard Box Man!
@Mike Hunt: Great Zappa link! I've never seen that, thanks for including it!
I'm just kinda sick of weiners in general this week.
HA!
no really i think it's cute you have a papaya dog to retreat too.
i look forward to you showing this personal side of yourself.
box man is gonna eat you.. it was sad..it was having sweats form not eating marty!
and it was watching you eat at papaya to make sure you fatten up!
its like when a vampire bites a drunk and gets a buzz.
more beer marty more beer.. box man needs a buzz!
and he likes hot dogs.
good hot dogs
I think Gidgie would like My Tony Weiner cartoon, but I won't ask you to post it 'cause you don't need the hate mail. Instead I sent a photo of my own Tiki style masterpeice with / recipie. Check your e-mail!
@Gidgie: I hear you on the wieners! As far as your Cardboard Box Man commentary, it's scaring me!
@Jaws: I just posted it, thanks! I wish I had one right now, work sucks!
@jaws.. send it to my email..
i like to scare you marty:)
Good seeing a fresh supply of "Box Face" arrived!
Great "scribblings" Daddio!
@Jaws: I just had to say what a great picture of that cocktail,,,,sitting on that wooden plank,,looks so appealing,,,,a real pro job there.
@ Al....I've just had three of the motherfuckers...it's geting hard to work th' fuckin' keyboard...bwaaaaaahahahahahaaaa....uuurrrrk......
If you prick Cardboard Box Man does he not bleed? Well, I guess not.
@MAD: Ha, ha! That's hilarious that "untitled" is still there. That Blü my mind. Still no bids? I forget the year it was "painted" and what the asking price is.
@Jaws: Fanta shadowboxing and a Wu Tang cocktail. If what you say is true, the Fanta and the Wu-Tang cocktail could be dangerous.
@"Boris:" Thanks, Daddio! Let's try and yak tonight!
@csp: I just checked and your art is priced at $400 and it was put up in 2002! Ten fucking years! Unbleievable! As I always say, "fun flies when you're having time!
I love your drawings!! And Gumby too.
hey thats an accurate caricature of EVH and Dylan, Marty.
@Jaws: Thats a nice looking bev!
@: uuhh.... yeah Clacky..uh....uuhnnn..........uuuuhh.....uhhh,,,, yeahuh......oooorrrrkkkhhhh...........
@Melanie: Thanks!
@Clacky: Thanks! Where the hell have you been, on a bender?
@Jaws: How many are you up to!
personally i enjoy the trips to the "fortress"...the Duane Reade card are always a hoot as is MAD's renderings...the dawgs and the beer always look invitin'...what more could a MAD follower want?...
the bonus art and all the links were all great...
jaws...that drink made me want one but i don't have the fixins...i'll just throw down a couple "rotgut" 45s and imagine...
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

damn...forgot this one from "down under"...

@rr: Glad you enjoy the Fortress trips! Great Zappa quote, I've never read that before! And the adland link is hilarious! Thanks!
@Jaws..... that was yer weekend ration. We gotta go to the liquor store again????2?.......
I was going to say something about that card store and how terrible their cards are, but my daughter draws zombies on everyone's birthday cards, so maybe our house isn't much better. Nothing says Happy Birthday like something that will eat your brain.
@Jaws - that looks delish!
I wonder how many papaya dogs you've eaten since you moved to NY. I love the rain, one of my top 5 favorite things. But I mostly prefer it when I'm inside looking out at it. @Jaws drink looks yummy. Had a whipped cream vodka and orange juice recently, tasty.
@csp "If you prick Cardboard Box Man does he not bleed? Well, I guess not." Awesome.
@MAD: I wish I'd been on a bender!! No, my piece of shit internet connection again....! I get about 40 mins of good service of a morning. Sometimes I make it here before it peters out.
@Britta: Post some of those zombie drawings, I'd love to see them!
@kari: Rainy days are nice, I'm no sunshine fan at all.
@Clacky: That sucks, why such short service?
Zombie Dorothy has reached quite the level of fame in our family - this is the most popular drawing that's she's done to date: http://justicegirl.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/for-uncle-colt/
@Britta: That is too great! I just left a comment over there.
