Inspired and sketched while watching the MST3K version of Manos, the Hands of Fate. Forget Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Giant Claw, even Reefer Madness. Manos is, without question, THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!.
And I've seen the damned thing -- TWICE!
Thankfully, both times I had Joel and the 'bots to help me make it through this interminable travesty that dares call itself a movie.

Good lord. I tried three times to get through the movie, the un-MST3K'd version. Fell asleep on my friend's couch each time.
I don't envy the crew of the Satellite of Love having to watch the thing enough to create jokes and figure out how to edit the thing. Makes me want to riff on the quote I once heard about polishing a turd.
The easiest way to get across the gross wrongness of the movie is that it's the only movie for which Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank apologize to the audience for screening the thing.
THAT SAID. This, your drawing, is an awesome concept that I fully endorse. I hope you decide to finish and color this one. I saw that you've uploaded more pics, but didn't catch their content, now I dearly hope there is a Torgo among them.
Also, I go strange rambly places when I'm exhausted and on pain meds, sorry about that. :p

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the drawing. Sorry that I didn't upload any Torgo drawings; perhaps I can come up with something (depicting him as a proper Satyr, perhaps).
As for the movie, Manos is close to un-watchable, but the commentary (and skits featuring Mike Nelson as Torgo) make it bearable.
On the other paw, my MST-ie friends and I have discovered that there are certain films that are so bad as to defy parody from either Joel and the 'bots or Nelson's RiffTrax [tm] crew. Among them are Red Dawn, starring the late Patrick Swayze, and The Star Wars Holiday Special. What can you say about a program where the first 15 minutes is nothing but Wookiee grunts? Without any subtitles, even! Not even Bea Arthur's musical number can save that TV train wreck. Yow!

Actually, I count The Creeping Terror a bit lower than Manos... at least Manos had a ridiculously frisky fight scene (and I use the term "fight" loosely ^_^) with some nice begowned ladies. But otehr than that, Manos was indeed almost unwatchably wretched.
Why aren't you surrounded by begowned roo babes arguing among themselves? ^_^

LOL - Torgo!
One of my MST-ie friends told me that Torgo was supposed to be a satyr, hence his curious, shambling walk. But there was no costume budget -- heck, there wasn't much of a budget AT ALL -- so he was mostly shot from the waist up and thus you never got to see what were supposed to be his "hooves."
