Dog-former...?

Which is stranger, the image from yesterday, or the idea for this? Debate amongst yourselves.

Why not?

No reason to post this, but less of one not to post it.

Rules of a different game

Suddenly that idea of the aborted tobey hooper spider-man film in the 80's seems alright.

An alternative Stan Lee (with pizzazz!)

I think people missed out by not casting Handsome Lumberjack Stan Lee in their films (I'm looking at you, Fellini).

Don't be a punk, you know these are fabulous. To think otherwise is daft.


(oh, the punnery! It hurts!)

Dance or Mosh?

Agree, disagree (I'm conflicted myself) but damn did I giggle. Tee-hee-hee.

Bubbly Lizard

Ahh These Lazy February Days, so nice to sit back and enjoy the simpler things in life.

Boneless Fools

Impossible to justify showcasing, but equally so not to like.

(Apparently not all were amused by this, as some complained and forced Whole Foods to make artist Paul Maybury quit.)

Your Monster Pals

On ce again, Monster Brains comes through. One of the many good posts they have, check this one out, then them all if you haven't already.

MONSTER BRAINS: Vintage Monster Stickers

Yes, there goes my lame joke quota for this month I've given my fair share. From a kooky 1950's catalog order form.

Monster Mash-Kaiju Style

Admittedly, this artwork is sorta shoddy, but in an endearing way, and its sheer kitsch and sentimental attachment (ah, gojira) more than makes up for it.

Turtles, Honeymooners, and Advice

This is an image from an unpublished turtles comic made by the great Milton Knight, who was kind enough to put it up on his website.

More cartoony cartoon fans wonder why I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they don't appear very often in such adventures. I always felt the potential [I mean, ninja trained reptiles named after Renaissance painters? How delightfully surreal!] was there, it's only the people who never follow up on it. Knight, influnced by the new york 1930' s animation(among others) does just so. And he adds in the Honeymooners, one of the few worthwhile sitcoms in tv's hisory. Bravo.

The Turtles meet the Honeymooners

Artwork for a collection of the little oddities called the Madballs. Never cared for them, but this illustration is much more fun.

History redacted

Video Games from MUSCLEBEAVER on Vimeo.

A very bizarre video covering the history of video games (somewhat, and eccentrically). Done for a German documentary, stick through the minute of pong and you will be rewarded.

Someone needed these badges

Some known, most lost to time; these characters must have been notorious enough at some point to warrant material value. A curious relic. (One wonders what conversations get brought up when wearing a "press" badge, bloody or not)

A magazine that deserves its own salute

If you don't appreciate this, I truly feel sorry for you.

Polish posters for all

Polish movie posters

Wonderful site full of odd little posters for foreign films, in an attempt o make exotic goods appeal to natives. The above only represent one of my favorites, find yours.

The Mechanical Hand of Baddies

Perhaps this is something inexplicable to a generation that didn't have a NES and the Mega Man games, but the announcement of the a new game (done in the old 8-bit style) is something to be celebrated. It's an interesting take on modern nostalgia, something of Orwell meets Bradbury.

There is something about the aesthetics of the game, the simple(but not simple minded) graphics,the instant appeal of the in game graphics of these baddies that feels delicious and evil at the same time. I'll have to continue with this thought at another time, when I feel a bit more confident about the roots of the appeal of this. Any thoughts of your own would be welcome.

If nothing else, enjoy the pictures.

Now these are buttons you can wear proudly, especially Natwick and Crumb.
Once again, because of Atomic Surgery

(Is anyone else having trouble with their spell-check button? Mine on blogger doesn't seem to work. And the add picture button is inconsistent.)

Thy Name is. . .

Nerdy, but undeniably cool.
