Recently, my brother picked up a DVD set of campy scifi TV shows. In the collection was one called Ark II. Technically, I was alive when it was on the air-but just barely. So needless to say, I don't remember it. I have to say though, keeping in mind it's an old Saturday morning show, I've really liked it.

It's so bad that it's good. If you know what I mean. The show is about three "highly trained young scientists," and a chimp, who are roaming around a dystopian 25th century. A light-hearted premise, really. They travel in their bullet shaped winnebago mobile lab, the Ark II. Inside that they also have a small buggy vehicle, the Roamer, and a jet-pack. That's right, a jet-pack, baby!

Anyway, I did a sketch of a couple of the characters, Jonah and Adam:

If you've seen the show, then you know I made Adam (the chimp) a little out of character. He's smart, but not that smart. He actually sounds like Solomon Grundy using Stephen Hawking's voice box thing.

For some reason, though, I find a chimp with a British accent hilarious. But maybe that's just me. :-)
