Super Cloudman and update on Hero BLOB XI!

Dear ones,

I've had a bit of an idea/epiphany, and it concerns Cloudman. As many of you will know, Cloudman is one of my favorite and one of my first superhero creations.

Now, I've come up with a symbol and a new name for him, about which I'm eager to hear your feedback!

I'd like to call the fellow the Super Cloudman, or just Super Cloudman. I think there's something in this name that works, and something about the symbol that has a bit more recognizability than the original lightning-bolt C.

Here's a pic of the new design (click on it for a larger version). Tell me what you think! Email heroblob@gmail.com or just leave a comment here! I think it's a good change, but tell me what you think.

Also, don't forget to think pleasant Hero BLOB related thoughts tomorrow! The wonderful Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion will be recorded by a full cast tomorrow afternoon (GMT)!!! And there's been a last-minute cast addition, the talented Guillermo Martinez de Velasco, who is replacing the Mystery Guest whose name you will never get to know! Guillermo is visiting Scotland from his home in Mexico and his various other study locations around the world, and I'm thrilled to have his radio-ready (and experienced) voice added to the show!

And don't forget that you can listen to my reading of Killer Brother: Target Genesis at the link provided below, on the last post. An exciting week for my readers!

And, in celebration of the completion of the BLOB XI recording, I'll be (God willing) releasing BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite online tomorrow, which has never before been available for online viewing! It's a great one, and probably the best of the Hero BLOB film series, so watch and enjoy!

Hero BLOB Update, with Cloudman!

Well, my dears, it's been a long while, but I haven't been idle. I've finished both 'Killer Brother: Target Genesis' and a new Cloudman novel, 'Jack and Betrayal' in the last couple of months. I'm currently sending them out to some magazines to see if I can get them published. But Hero BLOB isn't just on the back-burner, no no. Our favorite Hero BLOB is oozing his way into the new Cloudman book, and the plot for 'Hero BLOB 12: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry BLOB' is completely crystalized, as it must be, since its events are mentioned in 'Jack and Betrayal'! Hopefully, I'll have some good news on those soon, as to publication.

Now, I've moved on to the next Cloudman novel, 'Cloudman's Secret Identity', which significantly alters the state of things of Cloudman's early adventures by expanding on the behind-the-scenes relationship of Cloudman and the mysterious Cloudwoman!! Exciting times.

And check out some Hero BLOB and Cloudman -related poetry on the blastocyst.org.uk website, featuring 'Hero BLOB: Nadir' and 'To Cloudman', a poem written by Pengy, Cloudman's sidekick penguin! All are by yours truly, the Author, Schedel B. Luitjen!!

I remain, as ever, yours xx

Erm... Happy New Year....

Been a while, friends. How about some good news?

I haven't been entirely inactive in my time apart from this blog; I've written a lot, and I've done an awful lot of research for my dissertation, on Demonology and the movie 'Drag Me to Hell'.

In any case, you obviously only care about BLOB, so here's some news about him, and the related series.

I've typed up Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion, and, as is my wont, I have sent it to Nicolas Nadeau for approval. I applaud my mother's valiant efforts to send me copies of the manuscript last semester so that I could type it then, but I do not applaud the British Postal Service, which, due to its strike, never delivered the package and, instead, sent it back.

Not that I would be bitter.

In any case, I have also recently written some verse works for the various BLOB series, and have finalized the plot details of BLOB 7D: Rise of the Jive Turkeys, which will incorporate the portions earlier filmed for it, along with new footage.

The poems I've written are the following, and will hopefully soon be available in the arts/literature website 'Blastocyst':

'Song of BLOB's Nose'- In this poem, mixing iambic pentameter and dactylic hexameter, the story is told of what happened to BLOB's nose after it was wickedly removed by the Red-Head (with the help of a little Red Blobtonite) in 'BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite'. It seems that the Nose has some problems and nearly falls into the pits of Hell, where it meets the souls of some of BLOB's victimized villains.

'CARMEN PENGII'- Pengy, Cloudman's sidekick (you should know that Cloudman is BLOB's best friend, who features prominently in the upcoming 'BLOB X: Actaeon' and 'BLOB 12: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry BLOB'), is the star of this iambic pentameter poem. It documents his attempts to fly and fulfill his destiny as the son of the Penguin President Pingy of the Penguin Planet.

So those things are all typed up. Next, I'm moving on to the enormous task of typing up my excessively long script for 'Chicken Man 2: Last Flight of the Chicken Man'. I'm getting nervous and restless because I haven't actually produced any work lately, so I will hopefully soon get some people together and film either BLOB X, BLOB 7D, or some other such work. More updates soon!
