Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Daily doodle. I don't know why I prefer my lake creatures to have giant eye(s), but I do.

Have you ever stumbled upon a show that's equal parts weird and wonderful? If not, let me introduce you to Lodge 49.

This quirky TV series follows Dud, a down-on-his-luck ex-surfer, as he stumbles upon a mysterious fraternal order called the Order of the Lynx. This peculiar group, housed in a dilapidated lodge, offers cheap beer, strange alchemical philosophies, and a sense of belonging.

As Dud dives deeper into the lodge's enigmatic world, he embarks on a surreal journey of self-discovery. The show blends elements of fantasy, mystery, and comedy, creating a unique and captivating viewing experience.

What makes Lodge 49 so special?

* Whimsical Tone: The show's offbeat humor and surreal atmosphere create a truly unique viewing experience.

* Character-Driven Story: The characters are quirky, endearing, and often hilarious.

* Philosophical Undertones: Beneath the surface of the show's humor lies a deeper exploration of life, meaning, and connection.

If you're a fan of shows like Twin Peaks or The Leftovers, you'll likely appreciate the strange and beautiful world of Lodge 49.

Day 3 prompt - Bot-dog



Tonight, we are watching Lisa Frankenstein, and I found it entertaining for a Diablo Cody flick. The unliving, yet animated thing holding a wiener is pretty appropriate, actually.

Day two of premature Stinktober doodling - keywords Fat Cat. We have our uncarved pumpkin out so, I figure this spherical chonk can be setting out a jackolantern and eat some seasonal ice cream, too.

Thank you again to @chrispiascik and @flakesarts
For pitting me on to the challenge!

I'm just getting a head start on #stinktober with @chrispiascik - day one is Spooky Bob - Scaredy Pants. (I know I'm going to need time to catch up with some of these !)

Day 20,313: Witchy and Kitty



We had a lovely duck date day today. We visited the @kittycitycatcafe, @blueridgeindiemarket, and the local nursery together to breathe some outdoor air and get some little treats in the form of lovely art and vegetation suitable for autumn. (Images of those to come sometime in the near future, no doubt.)

We passed on Old Salem Days because it was just way too crowded, even as an outdoor venue. Next year is a definite goal, though.

Day 20,312




We started watching the Sleepy Hollow TV series last night, and it has been surprisingly entertaining thus far. The first three episodes are oddly star-studded with folk I enjoy as secondary characters (Clancy Brown, Orlando Jones, John Cho), and although it has very little to do with the original story (or the actual Sleepy Hollow location in New York), it has a rather entertaining premise.
I figure this will be nice seasonal filler to lead us up to Halloween, at least.

Note—the doodle is based on the more classic Headless Hessian tossing jack-o'-lanterns from a black horse, rather than the decapitated rider on a pale horse swinging an ax.

Of course, Ichabod Crane looks nothing like the classic version of that character, too. This is TV, after all...

I hope they keep Clancy Brown for a while, fun seeing him in a mentor role to the modern-day lead character.

Day 20,311

Found this old drawing of a pumpkin dashed off back when I used a palmtop before the days of smartphones with a stylus. I think this was done about 20 years ago, give or take. So I guess you could subtract ~7300 days or thereabouts from that number at the top.

Different times, back then. I certainly prefer now to then. Married life in Virginia is certainly more my speed than being a single person in Florida. Prior to the Clie, my drawings were on a monochrome device, with even lower resolution. The original doodle was jaggy, but I upscaled it years ago, and I have no idea where the more pixilated version is now. Perhaps I will stumble over it sometime later.

My brother and me, Easter, on or around day 1490 or so. (Today is 20,311), bro, left, showed up around day 750.

Note my groovy teardrop peace sign necklace and his amazing ash-blonde hair. Even I was dishwater blonde in a captain kangaroo-style bowl cut (which was the fashion on the time)

Not shown, my matching jacket that went with the pants, channeling Herb Tarlick before WKRP ever aired.
