A very special thank you to the real King Bubadibu!!! He is now immortalized in Planet Tomek fame and is the first human to stand in as one of our characters! He and his wife are a couple of our best friends, huge Planet Tomek fans and not surprisingly fellow enthusiasts of bizarre-ass humor.
It was a fine photo shoot and session of Planet Tomek Cultural Fusion that evening: a couple helpings of General Tao's (some spell it Tso's) chicken, a few pints of irish stout and a some sips of Casa Noble tequilla! It could be argued that we got drunk and took pictures of each other with our shirts off! It was much more than that...King Bubadibu was conceived! We are excited to finally introduce this character and bring in a new, even more ridiculous component to our already strange world!
Hey! As long as you keep eatin', we'll keep slappin' those ridiculous cold cuts on this nonsensicle pictorial hoagie!
Now, referring to the joke on this page (written by Julie, the nuttier one of us two, if you can believe that!)...
I've always found the "they're more scared of you" philosophy kind of funny...I mean, if I'm scared shitless of a shark or a wasp or a raccoon with sharp claws or an ape...I'm scared! I don't give no damn how scared they are of me (supposedly) - I'm more scared! Also, don't remind me of the "they can sense you're scared" business either...Of course they can! They're predators, that's what they do. How can you actually pretend to not be scared? If I'm being chased by a Cheetah or an ostrich or a mole should I just stop and act cool? Yeah, if I want my arm gnawed off while I'm pretending it's not happening! To ignore it is not an option either. Remember the bully on the playground? It just pissed him off more to be ignored. Don't even say "Play dead"! That only works if you're a fire ant, a bison or a pill bug.
Be smart...run like hell for a tree or the hood of a car!
Tom
