Pinball is in Everything I Draw!

It's like that Wu Tang song, except with pinball!  As you all know, Alec and I just aren't completely radical, pinball playing kings among men, we're also both accomplished cartoonists!  For my part, ever since I got into pinball, I've been finding a lot of pinball popping up in my published work for children. I've taken some zoomed-in screenshots of the pinball sightings I could fine.  Truth be told, I'll probably find more.

This is page from a book of mine slated to be published in September 2013!  You faithful DTZ readers are getting a little sneak peak now!  The name of the book is Leo Geo and the Cosmic Crisis.  Somewhere in the deep reaches of space, Leo's brother, Matt Data, finds a herd of wild pinball machines and a pinball constellation.

This is zoom up of my submission to the Cartoon Crier, which was a wonderful, oversized anthology about crying that I was asked to be a part of.  Specifically, I was asked to do a factual science piece about the biology of crying.  In it, my main character Ben Bio is wandering through a lab while explaining crying.  Apparently, there is a pinball mezzanine hidden in the lab : )

Lastly, I have a close up of a page of 2012's Leo Geo.  It's pretty ironic that the flipper in this page is buried underground.  It's ancient!  This is the first instance of me putting pinball into non-DTZ projects.  It's nice to unearth this evidence of how ba-zonkers in love I am with pinball!

Well, I can't imagine that I'm just going to STOP putting pinball references in my work, so I'm sure we'll get to sit down and have this talk again!
