Frank's Sketchbook Entry of the Day

This is it! The Battle of the Century fans have demanded: Ms. Mars Vs. Language Lass! No dream, no imaginary tale! Who will win? The Grandmistress of Geology or the Sultana of Sanscrit? Find out in what is sure to be the tale to end all tales!!!

OK...for various reasons I have wound up casting two friends in the roles of superheroes and had to figure out who they would be. Once I decided on the names, everything kind of started to slide into place (except my sanity, which has been sliding in the other direction). It reminded me of the classic team-ups, where the two good guys have to duke it out until they figure out they're on the same side.

Anyway, I was in a flying club board meeting and doing my doodling as I am wont to do, and this was the result. I have recently purchased a small camera (suitable for using with web pages, browers, and servers) and wanted to test it out. Sure, I have a real camera that's much higher resolution, but what the hell, why not? I de-warped it a little and cropped it in The Gimp and adjusted the brightness and contrast but beyond that I didn't touch it. Sadly, I will probably not have time to draw the REAL images, let alone the entire story but who knows...
