The Cardboard Tube Army Cometh

I made a lot of references to the Cardboard Tube Army in some of my older entries, but now that I at last bought up some fresh batteries for my camera, I can stop referencing them...because here they are! Or most of them anyway. There are about nineteen intact, there were 20-something but a number of them were lost to some water damage (some smears are evident even on some of the intact ones).

These are based on a silly/fun project British comicker Jamie Smart did in his own blog once--drew little faces on used toilet paper tubes and set them up on top of the tank, along with a little sign that said "we're watching you poo." For my own I've omitted the sign and rather than giving them all the same face as he did, I tried to make them all look very different. I even named them. Check it out:

From left to right, starting at the top: James, WideAwake, Simple, The Sclurrious Flurge, Nippon, Count Tilde, FrankenTube, Tube-Bot, Admiral Agent General Scarrson, Tikiman, Wyso Sirius, Nom Chompsky, Hotep, Randolph Wiffles, Zaan, A Walrus, Lindsey, Lisa, and Steve. Lisa had to be elevated a bit to be seen since Lindsey and Steve are paper towel tubes rather than TP tubes.

Soon, they will be lords of the restrooms.

Holden Out.
