About ragheadthefiendlyterrorist

Hi, I'm Raghead E Villdoer, your honest, hardworking, murderous fiendly neighbourhood terrorist. I happen to be the protagonist of my newly-launched cartoon, named, eponymously, "Raghead". All comic strips appearing on this site are the copyright of my creator, Biswapriya Purkayastha, alias "Bill the Butcher". He however allows anyone to share and pass on my adventures on the net as long as credit is given and no changes of any nature are made to the strips. Thank you and happy terrorising.

Raghead: Drone Man

Uncategorized View all 4 comments

Somewhere at a particular address in Washington DC…

By day he is mild, inoffensive Barack Obama – His Divine Messiahnity, Nobel Peace Prizident, object of adoration to millions nationwide…

Bringer of glad tidings to “good terrorists” round the world… like, say, in Libya or Syria…

But let the whiff of evil touch his nostrils, and a remarkable transformation takes place. Meek, inoffensive Barack Obama vanishes, and in his place stands –

The implacable foe of bad guys everywhere
He’ll teach you the meaning of fear
The dreadful, the awe-inspiring…

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
 
Is it a zombie looking to eat your brain?

NO!

It’s Drone Man!

Lethal, is he? You’re gone, dead meat
Don’t look up as you walk the street
For he’s hovering right overhead
And you’d better be filled with dread.
If you have a bad thought in your head
He’ll know it, and punish it –

DRONE MAN!

“Brothers and sisters, repent your sins, for our Lord Drone Man
watches all with His holy eye, and
He may punish you with damnation and Hellfire.”  
You can run, but you can’t hide
He can cover the world in his stride

And he’ll kill you till you’re dead
Without mercy, without pity

DRONE MAN!

Brave as a lion, steady as a rock
The new superhero on the block

His targets always deserve their fate
If you demur, he’s irate
And he’ll be coming,
He’ll come for you,

The one, the only

DRONE MAN!

Metapost: The Evolution of Raghead

Uncategorized View all 2 comments

For those of you who read Raghead:

I was just comparing the evolution of my drawing abilities in the months since I began the strip. I can’t answer for content (one of the things that I don’t want to do is become stale and repetitive like many burned-out cartoonists; please let me know if my work becomes disappointing) but as far as artwork goes, compare this post from last July:

to this, for instance:

Yes, I am getting better. Also my depiction of individual characters is getting more standardised. People don’t look different from post to post anymore. (Note for instance the way Raghead’s head and face covering is depicted then and now.)

This standardisation is a common feature of most cartoon strips but I’m happy to see this happening with me.

Again: my gratitude goes to all of you who read my strip, and please continue with feedback. I need it to keep functioning.
