Description
A couple of weeks ago my wife was fiddling around with Netflix and pulled up the "Rebirth" episode of Futurama. I watched as the "dead" Leela was laid out for that ferocious beast known as the cyclophage, which only eats cyclopes. I had never thought of it - was there ever really a cyclops planet? The beastie had to feast on something with one eye. Anyway, I got to dorking around in the later part of my shift at work and came up with this, a cyclops planet where Leela could meet cyclopes like herself. She looks like a bureaucrat, or possibly a tour guide of some kind. I was also proud of the dress, which is typical of my science fiction type designs. This is marker on Strathmore drawing pad, and the sky is a sheet of construction paper.Now all that's needed is some music for her to chill by; how about some Allan Holdsworth... www.youtube.com/watch?v=UML1q4…
Leela is the property of Matt Groening. The other gal is my property.

Now this would be a most interesting Futurama scenario: Leela finding a planet inhabited by cyclopeans like herself. Once again, I commend you on the two-piece futuristic outfit worn by the cyclopean with the light blue hair and the single-lens spectacles. At long last, Leela has somebody she can finally relate to. As for music to chill by, might I suggest the Beatles, "And Your Bird can Sing," www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSR3iE…. Well done, good buddy.

Oh, we're big Beatles fans here...always have been. I'm rather proud of the fact that their first album came out four days after I was born, on March 22 of 1963.

And yet, the Beatles did not become a landslide hit among teens in America until the following year, 1964. I was in grammar school then and, though I did like their music, I thought, as did my father, that they really needed haircuts badly.

Oh, I used to be really stunned by the hippies that would walk through Beechmont Mall in the late 60's, with their bare feet and torn up levi's. We were definitely the "straights," with our buzz cut hair.

We didn't have any hippies in my suburban neighborhood, but I distinctly remember seeing them in news broadcasts on TV and in the newspapers. And my opinion of them, then as now, was that they were a bunch of freaks and losers. And in the end, I was right. And even though I didn't wear a buzz cut haircut, I most certainly was a "straight."

Well we sure had them in Cincinnati for some reason. They scared the hell out of me. We mainly had the buzz cuts because they were easier to take care of.

Short haircuts are always easier to maintain and more important, to keep clean, which was often not the case with long hippie hair, so I've heard. Hippies didn't scare me so much as they filled me with contempt. To me, they were lazy bums who lived only to do drugs and screw like rabbits.

::laughs:: I just remembered a quote from Rob Reiner in an interview. "Whenever they needed a pissed-off hippie for a part, they came and got me."

Well, to quote Archie Bunker, Rob Reiner is truly a "meathead," 'nuff said.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We used to like that show so much because Archie reminded us of dad; my father was like Archie without the bigotry.

At least your father didn't call you "meathead," or tell your mother to "stifle yourself," n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk!

Oh, they would lock horns, but dad wasn't about insulting - I told you what he thought of Don Rickles. Interestingly enough, he and Don had an almost identical New York accent; but dad would have hated the comparison.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I recall your tale of your father and Don Rickles and how your father didn't care for Rickles' brand of humor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He sure didn't; he loved having a laugh with people, but he didn't like having it at someone else's expense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perfectly understandable. I like jokes at other folks' expense, too, but only if those other folks are celebrities or politicians.

I take exception to that stunted circus midget in North Korea - I'd just as soon spit Workhorse on his shirt as look at him. If I'd have known him in high school I would have taken his lunch money and knocked him down the stairs.

Believe me, if a guy like Kim were in my high school, my buddies on the wrestling team and I would've given him the mother of all "swirlies."

I would have loved for my uncles to have gotten a hold of him...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd hate to think what sort of shape the "Little Rocket Man" would be in after your uncles had gotten through with him. If my Rhonda were to get ahold of him, Kim would end up in a body cast from his toes to his bottom lip.

there probably is a cyclops planet out there in the world of Futurama, excluding that time that the grasshopper thing made himself look like one to fool Leela into marrying him or something

I know...that was such a great episode, and was one of the things that hooked me to the show in the first place. It was neat having that glimpse into a cyclops planet, if only for a few moments. BTW, I did a whole follow-up story on Alcazar... www.futurama-madhouse.net/foru…

Thanks! That's sort of what I thought.

The extra cyclops got a name? I like the hair colour choice - could they all have hair in the blue-purple-violet range?

I hadn't really thought of a name for her, although I had considered Saranya. It would definitely be a surname first thingee, which I thought should be common among cyclopes.
