Art Direction: You want to know what we need art minion!?! Let me tell you. The bigest TINGGGGGGGG anyone has ever seen! Make sure even the man holding his mighty sword is blinded by its awesomeness. Oh and… make sure he’s pretty much naked. Why? Well… why not? Eh?

Oh and plenty of defined muscles but a face like a blue square premier league physio.

So much Ting…….

The new Ken doll is WAY too anatomically detailed.

And behold the confusion at the top of the page!
Several titles and names are competing for attention:
“Anticipation”
“Budy Matieson”
“Shea”
“Chroniques du Retour Sauvage – 2”
Perhaps the French editor has multiple personalities?
Personality 1: “Ze title is ‘Anticipation!'”
Personality 2: “Non! Ze proper title is ‘Shea’!!”
Personality 2: “Zatapatique! Shut up both of me, ze title is ‘Chroniques du Retour Sauvage Ken et Barbie!!”

“Hey, Conan – you like gladiator movies?”

“Billy, do you like hanging out in gyms?”

After a relative dry spell of TING! action, Good Show Sir rebounds with a year’s supply.
I don’t know what a “fleuve” is (let alone a black one), but it’s been well placed to conceal our hero’s modesty.

Why are his armpits so big?
September 26th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Oh dear he’s got the same hair as my old history teacher.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
His large backpack full of hair care products must be on the ground somewhere.

Fleuve Noir is Black River and retour sauvages is back to the wild, more or less. Post-apocalyptic Charles Atlas methinks.
September 28th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
But if it’s a post-apocalyptic scenario… how come he looks like he just ate a bloody steak with steroids after three hours in the gym?
Shouldn’t he be scrawny, half-starved and have boils?
September 28th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
He’s really good with that sword . . .
September 29th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
I think his face looks like that because the awesomeness of the sword (or was the awesomeness of the TING?) melted it.
October 1st, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Oh, that’s a sword?
I thought he was into puppetry..

if this isn’t freudian, i don’t know what is.

“I HAVE THE TOUPÉEEE!!!”
December 2nd, 2013 at 6:10 pm
This cover was way ahead of its time: All the hot celebs are getting their skin upholstered now.
December 2nd, 2013 at 7:42 pm
Ah, mon cher Sir Tag—weird pecs or wot? My god they’re 3-D!
Also, I think that’s “I HAVE ZEE TOUPÉEEE!!!”
February 17th, 2014 at 12:29 pm
Ohh its fleuve noir. The fleuveriest of all the noirs.

“It is the year 2070. World War III has burned up every last item of clothing but left all human skin intact….”

Shyeah.
February 19th, 2014 at 12:49 pm
Does he shiver with antici….?

I’ve spent thirty-five years wondering what Feargal Sharkey’s cousin Kevin looked like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnEgSxM8_Aw Now we know.

After a while the ting burns off all facial features.

LE ROI DE NUDISTES

Was this guy another French variation on Dick Blade?
Also, “Shea”? Like the stadium? Or the butter? He does look pretty oiled up.
April 26th, 2017 at 9:54 am
@GSSe-n: It’s obviously an early gig for Shea Whigham, one he had hoped would lie buried forever…
April 26th, 2017 at 10:40 pm
@THX: A mite too buff for that gent.
The Ting! here is so mighty, it removes all body hair. And maybe all hair, if the Ken-doll-like stuff atop his head is what it looks like.
“Weird pecs” for sure; they’re pyramidal! Not sure he has nipples either.

The scabbard’s belt was all that held up his pants – once he brandished the scabbard and sword, he also brandished his nether parts as the trousers descended tout suite.

@Ryan: It’s OK, no one could see his équipement de gentilhomme since he’d blinded them with the TING.
