The Battalion
Tubularmcm
Continued from Page 3
spent drawing for Houston’s
Cyprus Creek High School
newspaper under the comic strip
title of “Fast Times at Cycreek
High.”
When he got to Aggieland,
Cardinale still pursued drawing. In
the spring of 1990, he met Matt
Kowalski, creator of another
Battalion comic strip,“Spade
Phillips, PI.” Kowalski encouraged
Cardinale to submit some of his
work to The Battalion.
Cardinale had tried once before,
but was turned down. After
several brainstorming sessions, he
came up with his new character,
Tubularman.
“I knew most superheroes had
the word ‘man’ in their name,”
Cardinale said. “I tried to come
up with a word to go in front of
this. First I considered
Awesomeman, but this sounded
more like an exclamation rather
than a name. So, I decided to go
with Tubularman because ‘tubular’
was a word I always used when I
was a kid.”
Cardinale gets most of his
“Tubularman ’ ideas from actual
experiences.
“When I’m sick,” he said.
“Tubularman is usually hung
over.”
Occasionally, he runs into some
spurts of writer’s block. His ritual
for curing this frustrating ailment
involves three simple steps. First,
he scans the Battalion for current
events to focus on. If this doesn’t
work, he’ll turn on the tube and
flip until something looks
interesting. The third step is
Cardinale s favorite — what he
likes to call, “movie ripoffs.”
In the span of Tubularman’s
career, he has used “The
Terminator (I and II),”
“Apocalypse Now,” “The Good
Kyle Huniett/Tftffci

Tubes' favorite hangouts, Duddley's Draw. "The Legend of Tubularman 1990-1994,"
Son,” “Jurassic Park” and others as
his satire subjects.
In the future, Cardinale plans
on starting a comic book company,
called RocTetship Comics, witn
Kowalski in Houston. Tubularman
will once again take the page with
longtime friend Spade Phillips for
a long-awaited reunion.
“A little dream of mine is to
someday come back to The
Battalion as a syndicated strip,”
Cardinale said. “But if
‘Tubularman’ becomes syndicated,
I’ll have to make some changes so
he can be enjoyed by everyone.”
Tubularman would have to slow
down on the drinking and take it
easy on sexual innuendoes, he
said.
“The Legend of Tubularman
1990-1994“ will make its debut at
AggieCon today, an event put on
by the Sci-Fi Club. The book will
then be sold at Hastings for $8.
With plans of graduation
quickly approaching and the
realization of job-hunting slapping
Cardinale in the face, Tubularman
will take on a new look to appeal
to a wider audience.
This summer’s Tubularman may
be unrecognizable to those who
are familiar only with the non
stop party machine. Cardinalti
big plans for his superhero-1
beer-guzzling, for once, isnitT
of them.
As for his up-and-coming j
departure into the real worldofl
comic strip land, Cardinalesiicl
would like to leave the followri
advice to those who aspire tobj
cartoonists. Make sure you cm I
write. Always have yourcreaiil
wheels turning, he said, andgt)
experience somewhere. And, I
above all, keep drawing.
“Do whatever you want,"
Cardinale said. “But don’t evei|
stop drawing.”

Buttafuoco explores
post-jail career options
MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. (AP) — He might go
Hollywood. He could headline in Atlantic City
or Las Vegas. He already commands $100,000
for an exclusive interview — and he just
walked out of jail Wednesday.
Joey Buttafuoco stepped out of his cell and
back into the spotlight, secure in the knowl
edge his twisted celebrity grew during 129
days behind bars for the statutory rape of an
underage Amy Fisher.
“I’m done,” the public-enemy-turned-pri-
vate-citizen said outside the Nassau County
Jail, flashing two thumbs up for photogra
phers. “Everything is cool. I did what I had to
do to end it, and now Tm going home.”
A tree in his suburban front yard, just a
short distance from the porch where Fisher
shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco just 22 months ago,
held 129 yellow ribbons.
The 38-year-old auto body mechanic had
other things on his mind: Career options. No,
there won t be a movie — there have already
been three, and who wants to watch the se
quel, “Free Joey”?
There could be a movie career. “Personally,
I think Joey is Hollywood-bound,” said his
brother, Bobby.
Or a boxing match against the equally
camera-shy Geraldo Rivera. Buttafuoco
dropped 30 pounds in jail to reach his fight
ing weight, and his attorney Dominic Barbara
said there is interest from casinos in New Jer
sey and Nevada.
Or Buttafuoco the author. He is consider
ing a deal to publish his jailhouse diaries.
There’s already been an exclusive interview
with “A Current Affair.” It isn’t clear whether
Buttafuoco will get to keep any of the money.
Under New York state’s Son of Sam law, con
victed criminals are not allowed to profit from
their crimes.
And Thursday evening brings a huge “Get
Out of Jail, Joey” bash for 400 guests, includ
ing newly announced gubernatorial candidate
Howard Stern.
None of this is amusing to Roseann Fisher,
whose daughter is serving a five-to-15 year
sentence for putting a bullet in Mrs. Buttafuo
co’s head.
“It’s revolting and vile,” she said. “It goes
beyond the standards of decency. He should
hang his head in shame for what he did, and
not be smiling into a TV camera.”
While behind bars, Joey received nearly
4,000 pieces of mail — about 3 1 pieces a day.
By all accounts, he handled himself well in
jail.
Streisand said in a statement Tuesday tk
the warm reception to her two New Yeai
concerts in Las Vegas led to the tour.
“It was such a lovely experience, feelii
the. connection with (he audience after:
these years, that I decided to do a limited tot
to express my appreciation for the love at
support 1 have received for such a long timt
she said.
