Lament for Markerbored

Happy Subterranean Holidays to you all, world.  This is the last true Markerbored, begun in June and completed six months after Pat moved out.  Fans of the site and whiteboards will realize what a severe blow this is to Markerbored's continued success.  Subsequent whiteboard jams will be melancholy affairs at best, since brief visits are the only way to really work it out.  But just so you know, faithful fans, Markerbored's not dead, oh no siree!  

Alright, enough of my crying.  Enjoy that nerdfest.

She Sells Seashells by the Seashore

Hot weather's messing with our markers, so we messed back! Cool off with an ocean breeze, babies.

Edit: forgot to link to Dan for the boredgames playing boardgames.

Founding Fathers

This is it: the original. Our first backsy-forthsy, takesy-turnsy, callsy-responsey dry erase board. And it shows. Still, I'm not embarrassed. This is the internet after all, and I've seen worse. Graffiti and Casey Jones by Dan, more graffiti and a cat-or-a-rabbit by Jen. Even more graffiti by Caitlin. It's from November, 2006.

Showdown at the Angkor Corral

See, when you draw a cowboy, he's usually in a desert. And then when your roommate eventually draws the Katamari Prince rolling a tumbleweed, it's generally an indication that this is definitely the desert. So then, when you draw Odeko rolling a pangolin, you feel confident that we are, in fact, in the desert. And then your roommate goes and draws a giant Cambodian head and suddenly we're in the jungle.

An Underwater Extravaganza

This one started with disaster: a diver running away. It was later revealed that he was running from a mermaid. Then things got ratcheted up, with drownings, swallowings, a snailhag, the Titanic, Atlantis, etc.

Volcanoes in the top-left of these things is all my fault. It's for extra over the top-ness. I'm sorry. Also, an interesting note: look at how differently Todd and I draw octopuses (my octopus monster on the previous board, and his Beatles octopus on this one).
