I Survived Manos: The Hands of Fate – sketches
Some sketches today for a t-shirt idea that came from “The B-Movie Cast.” They’ve been talking about Manos: The Hands of Fate lately, and, judging from their reactions, the listeners seem to feel it’s the worst movie ever made. I’ve only experienced the MST3K version. I don’t think there’s any reason to try to watch it without Joel and the Bots.
I have the final look in my head, something that should look good in Adobe Illustrator. Is it possible to make Torgo hip? Even with those monstrous thighs? We’ll see tomorrow.
I recently got a Pogo Sketch stylus for my iPhone, so I’ve been sketching in an app called “Sketchbook Mobile.” So far I like it, though it does feel a bit slow and non-responsive at times. But hey, I’m drawing on my phone! Here’s Torgo tripping, drawn in Sketchbook Mobile:
And to get you into the mood, here’s some chilling music from Manos: The Hands of Fate.

I too, have only experienced Manos, MST3K style. I can’t imagine trying to watch it without Joel & the Bots. It wouldn’t matter any way, since I’ve seen the MST3K version so many times, that if I did try to watch it without the commentary, I would still be hearing it in my head. I love the sketches! Especially the one of the Master & his big master mustache.
