I used to want a Delorian so bad... There is actually a guy who bought the company or the rights to make them or something a few years ago, but they are prohibitively expensive. Still awesome, just expensive.

HISTORICAL MAD SCIENTISTS IN NEAR-CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
HISTORICAL MAD SCIENTISTS IN NEAR-CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

Forgive the sloppy formatting; I don't believe in the use of rulers or other straightedge thingies.
Time: A little over/under an hour? No colors, which makes it quicker
Medium: "Ink roller" type pen on 100% real paper (lightly sketched with pencil first)
Note that Galileo doesn't have crazy eyes. That's because he wasn't actually crazy. Also note that Pharren has crazy eyes but doesn't say "lol". That's cause he's mad AND angry. I'm not sure if Tesla really invented a time machine, or was assassinated by oil barons using it, but he really did want to give everyone free, wireless energy by electrocuting the stratosphere (or some other part of the atmosphere, I can't remember).
EDIT: I decided after a few days to edit in the original portraits that I copied, because maybe with that frame of reference the pictures will make a little more sense and thus be a little more funny
GALILEO GALILEE

NIKOLA TESLA

ALBERT EINSTEIN (fuckers made me link to their blog because I'm too lazy to parse the image out of the whopping 26 characters of bbcode lol (nevermind, the forum stripped the link code or something for me. thanks, forum!))

It all started with a silly question some twit asked on an internet forum, but Dr. J Sexton couldn’t seem to let it go. Would she, given the opportunity, make out with a clone copy of herself?
She thought she might. There were numerous ethical questions involved, and of course there was the practical element, but she thought she could make it work. As a scientist, she had learned to methodically and relentlessly pursue her own curiosity. She had a healthy sense of adventure. She was brilliant.
Those dumbasses calling her ‘crazy’ could suck it.
Her cloning experiment deviated from the plan pretty much the moment she started implanting memories. The little shits (she’d made several for statistical rigor) spun out of control with alarming rapidity, and worse yet, none seemed the slightest bit inclined to try making out. And a couple were trying to undermine her authority as the Original Dr. Sexton. One spent an hour just yesterday trying to convince her that –she- was the real Doc, and she’d nearly succeeded. Fortunately she’d given every clone a marker, but now she was becoming paranoid; what if one of the little sneaks figured out how to mark her in her sleep? They were all a bunch of dangerous lunatics – how the hell had that happened? She’d only used her own DNA to…
…oh.

Pharren I think Galileo is my favorite, though Noah is also in the running. Delightful idea, and I too love the crazy eyes.
Mileron yours took me a minute to get - I forgot the dog was named Einstein. Recognized that Delorian right away though and I think you captured the Doc wonderfully.

Priceless forum reference!
I like the one with sad eyes. She's kinda hot for a cartoon.

That's what Gongaa's cat does when Gongaa is at work! No wonder he's so strange. He's actually his kitty's science experiment. I wonder if the experiment was a success.

okay, boredom and patheticness go hand in hand on this one lol

ps. I always loved the "You got Peanut butter in my chocolate! No, You got Chocolate in my Peanut Butter!" commericals when I was a kid. guess it shows haha

Were Reese's Peanut Butter Cups really invented by a woman? Also, lol @ "flavor singularity", because it's funny no matter how you define "singularity".
PS: I like to eat the outer edge first. Those were the commercials I always liked, and my favorite was the Dracula one where it showed a Reese's cup with two fang holes.

actually, it was a man. It was Harry Burnett Reese, who used to work for Hershey. I only know that because I grew up 30 mins away from Hershey and was educated thoroughly in chocolate lol
But you know women and chocolate :P

I like to push out the middle and eat that first, then look through the hole and giggle, then eat the outer edges. I, too, chuckled at the flavor singularity. Quite fun.
Gongaa's kitty makes a fine model to be sure! I should have used him for kictopus last week *has regrets*. Wystro I love the crazy colors and evil laughing in yours, and of course it's a delightful idea :D.

Thank you, Veri =) I find that cat to be compelling and unnerving, like Gongaa himself. And Kilandra, you've captured the mind-bending insanity that is the Reece's Peanutbutter Cup!
