Artist AKADoom has created an awesome mashup series called 'Breaking Ned.' These sweet illustrations combine two great television shows, The Simpsons and Breaking Bad. If you're a fan of both shows, then you'll know The Simpsons character Ned Flanders and Breaking Bad's main star Walter White.
AKADoom plays off the theme of Breaking Bad, which is about the good unsuspecting neighbor turned badass drug dealer in this series. He Turns Ned Flanders into Walter White, and illustrates him without his hair, still in his good guy clothes, glasses on, but looking pretty pissed off with a black eye and bandaged nose.
He then adds text to the pieces, suitable of what Ned would say if he turned into Walt like "I am the ding-dang-diddly danger." This is a hilarious series that is definitely worth checking out.
