I drew a very similar comic strip about two years ago: http://mustardhamsters.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-fangled.html I'll be re-releasing these (with some new ones) in a new format on my site soon.
Epic characters in the modern world are just funny. As for Heraklean tasks, I'd vote for changing the water in the water cooler, reorganizing the bulletin board, filling out all the paperwork in triplicate, doing the dishes, and covering for his boss while he goes to play a round of golf.
While Photoshop is neat for a lot of good things, motion blur is at its coolest when it's natural. A lot of these photos were taken by taking a long exposure followed by a flash to illuminate the detail in the image. A quick flash is the equivalent to the shutter in these dark photos.
For those of you unsure, at least the photo of the dirtbike, the blue grid third from the bottom and the gun had their woops shooped. Not even particularly well I might add. The photo of the stairs may also be shooped, definitely for color removal if not for blur. Popular vote around here says that the photo of the dice is the best image in composition and originality.
Well, what I did right now was really dig around in the links you posted. I went to the high jump page, then to the Facebook album Jake linked on one of his pictures, then to the other pages of the album with the pictures Jake didn't include. Here's a gem: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=776054&id=519667937&l=324d6
Things you could do right now: Blow a raspberry Grab someone's butt (two scoops) Scratch yourself all over Stretch your eyes Throw the change in your pocket on the ground as hard as you can and yell something like "Damn kangaroos!" Take a homeless guy out to lunch or order them a pizza Draw a mustache on your finger for instant 'stache on the go Imagine you're a whale or a cop car Profile suspects Mail something cool to someone you don't know Whistle a song in the highest register possible Lowly hum a buzzing sound and make up responses as to what that noise is when people ask Take crotch shots of yourself or your friends (I think Jake already hit on that one)
We need to visit this guy!!! What's his address? What's his phone number? How do we contact this fine gentleman?? Please respond!
Yeah baby, play that funky bass.
