The Kirby Uke: Now in 3-D

Here’s something pretty cool: Issac, over at Satisfactory Comics, has posted a 3-D version of  my Jack Kirby-style Ukulele from a few days ago.   He did one version that should be able to make work without glasses, but my eyeballs weren’t cooperating.   He did, though, kindly post a traditional-style version of the image that you’ll need 3-D glasses to see.  I was a little surprised to find that I actually have two pairs of 3-D glasses readily available in my house: that 3-D Steve Ditko comic book, and Grand Funk’s LP, Shinin’ On, which features the glasses because the entire album–gatefold and all–is entirely 3-D.  You kids try to get that in your “i-tunes” internets music store!

    Ben, tell me you’ve read this already–the obituary of a ukulele virtuoso:

    I also had to resort to red-green specs, by the way. My pair were from a National Geographic book about Mars–with 3-D photos from the Mars rover! Just imagine the space uke there…

    Thanks for passing that on… I actually hadn’t heard about that unfortunate news. I get the Ukehunt.com newsletter but I’ve been so busy of late that I’ve not had time to read it.

    I discovered a third pair of 3D glasses in the house: this set in an old issue if Dynamite magazine from the 70s!
