Warp Hustler is the latest bit of weirdness from Unlikely Heroes Studios. Just when you think AI is gonna take all artists’ jobs, this company times travels back to the viable analog with it’s latest Kickstarter run by chimps! If you thought that expression lost its weight, that’s just because humans are too out-of-shape to think outside the box! Only problem is, according to the copyright it’s co-owned by the company backing the hustler behind Miss Medusa!
Warp Hustler: Nonsensical Advertising
Wait… either Paul Hanley’s stealing this Typist Chimp #23xZ.999’s work, or the simian’s trying to work around the copyright issues of animal-made art. If you look on the credit’s page, you’ll notice that they’re one and the same. Hey, it’s more convenient to buy grasshopper products at your supermarket with your own money. I just wonder if this chimp has to deal with that English drummer’s lawyers.
Hey!… Chill Man…
That’s pretty much the attitude of Warp Hustler as a whole, it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Which isn’t to say there’s no direction, there’s a heart in all of the madness.
All of the visuals and out-of-the-box artwork from Art Chimp #23xD.3 (Martin Simmons) gives a sense of going on a wild ride. The first read through will probably be rough and disorienting. But that’s why Hanley focuses the reader’s lense through POV character Janice Hoffman. She went through a traumatic event but came out (just) okay thanks to a drug that sent her back-and-forth through time. Janice connects to readers by saying it’s okay to feel stupid on your first try on something.
And if you wanna try and predict the plot going forward with these images:
Go nuts! But don’t be disappointed if one or more of these don’t play out. Remember you gotta roll with the punches, not obsess over every little thing. Simmons does that somewhere else.
Can’t We Get Some Idea On WTF is Going On?
Alright, alright, Janice gets recruited by a thief and his demonic partner who injected her with the drug that helps her time travel and see three legged bison. She’s not the only one, and they all don’t like Bob McDemon.
What; I told you not to take it too seriously. Who can take the universe being destroyed seriously anymore anyway? Wait it’s because of a color mismatch?! It’s the worst kind of way to go out… nitpicking perfectionism!
