A pencil sketch for a 3-D comic book cover:

The Podium Chronicles follows the adventures of The Podium, a hero who fights crime while wearing a wooden podium costume. (He chose this guise to evoke the primal fear of public speaking.) The drawers in front were added to hold all his crime-fighting gadgets, such as the huge grappling hook he carries.

I sketched this cover illustration in pencil, then scanned it. I shaded it and added the depth in Photoshop. And no, I have no plans to make this comic book really, it was just a sketch I felt like doing. I invented The Podium character two months ago, in this humor story on Discarded Lies, the best blog in the universe.

Also posted to Discarded Lies is a very funny Swell 3D Questions and Answers article. (None of the answers are true; it's a work of humor.)
