The Martian has been keeping a low profile since issuing his directive to Madame P about winning the Miss America crown. As usual, that one turned into a fiasco, and he knows full well she'd have some retribution for it. She's refused to help him invade Poland, so all those months of planning are down the drain, and he has to start from scratch with something new.

The Ministry grapevine says he's considering spreading rabies to our current crop of politicians, as that's the only way to get rid of them, so he can take over. Word is, he's contemplating the use of volunteer rabies-carrying canine suicide 'dumb bombs,' as he calls them, to bite anyone in office.

It's positively diabolical.

The look of determination on his face is not to be messed with Randy!! Those mesmerising eyes, I think anyone he asks to carry out this deadly deed will obey him......watch this space!! Super portrait of the Minister, excellent work.

I was browsing the "newest photos" feature (thank you, admin!) and instantly recognized this as one of your creations, Randy! Super-duper work.

I think I could get onboard with a Martian-run world :)

I was originally drawn to your posts because of your outstanding feline portraits, Randy. I'm still a huge fan.

Thanks, Sylvia. The Martian has been thwarted again and again in his quest for world dominion. Will he succeed this time with Madame P by his side? We'll have to see.

But at least Poland can rest easy. Or can they? ; )

Thanks for your kind words and visit, always enjoyed and very much appreciated!

Thanks, Linda. They are fairly distinctive, lol! Probably could have used a little less Glow on this one, but I get going and... LOL

If you notice, his pupils are unequal--he was facing a dark wall on his left and in light shadow. Looks a little odd. But he was giving a nice stare, so used the shot anyway. Again, just a cell phone.

Glad you liked it. As for a Martian-run world...Hmm. Maybe not the best idea. But given how screwed up things are now, might be worth a try, lol.

Thanks for the kind comments and your visit. Always grateful!

Thanks, John. Pleased you enjoy them, and thank you for that. This one was just a quick cell phone shot done up. Liked his stare. I'll admit I've been somewhat fixated on doing Madame P lately, but it's partly out of laziness! Easier to do her than chasing the cats all over the place and trying to get a shot of one of them. She actually sits still, lol!

She's also easier to please! She smiles at some of the photos, whereas they're quite impossible, all kinds of attitude, never satisfied with anything. Cats. What can you do.

Thanks for your visit and the very kind comments. Always grateful!

Thanks, catgirl. Glad you enjoy them. I do have all kinds of fun processing the kitties. Sometimes along with the Topaz I'll toss in a little NIK filtering as well these days (they're free now, if you don't have them already).

As for murdering politicians, there's probably a law against that now, too! But I'm told you get a pass on your first one... ; )

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments. They're very much appreciated!

Well - there is some merit to his idea Randy. The politicians would all need some sort of shots for treatment. Martian would no doubt engineer things so that the shots would be many and administered in the behind with a long blunt needle.
That cat is not only very good looking (an understatement) but very smart.

The look says it all!!!...great shot!

Thanks, Pierre. I have just the thing in my Controlled Drug safe. One shot fixes everything, including exposure to rabies. Permanently. LOL

And while those bottles carry a lot of warnings, I've never seen one about not injecting politicians with it... LOL

Oh well. We can dream.

Thanks for your very kind words and visit, always appreciate it!
