We'll be taking a break through the next week...
Best wishes to all of you and yours.
Now, enjoy some cartoons...
And, just because I was playing mandolin in a band that covered this last week (and quite well, I might add)... My favorite Christmas song:
Merry Christmas, fellows.
Y'know what would have been Awesome?!?
Things that made me happy this week:
vs. 
Noticed in the latest Previews, via Sims:
So, I picked up a copy of the digest version of Marvel Adventures: Hulk / Powerpack on the cheap (read: free) the other day at my LCS's anniversary sale. And, while it's no Marvel Adventures: Anything Written by Jeff Parker, it's a pretty fun li'l read. It'll make a great stocking stuffer for when the Roller Girl's li'l monster comes to visit. Why, parts of it are gosh-darn adorable....
For 'zample:
Another quickie, untouched weird cover. In case you couldn't tell, I'm kinda in low content mode for the holidays. And other stuff. It's complicated.
Anyway ... from the "What the Hell?!? Wait.. I'd totally buy that" files...
And, we're back! Back with a quickie, but back.
Apparently the holidays don't end after the actual "holiday." I'm still cleaning up and putting things away. And of course, preparing for the next holiday. But, I'll have 2 weeks off for that one. Not that I want to take 2 weeks off, but there we are.
Anywhoo... Here's more fun with romance comics...
Happy T-Day, everyone!
Boy, has it ever been busy around here.. I'm having to cook for everyone this year! Well, cook everything except the turkey, anyway.
That still leaves so much to do! I have to make the potatoes, cream the corn, splinter the beans, stuff the stuffing, fix the drinks, bake the desserts, arrange the house, clean everything, and .. well, there's a *lot* of work. Li'l ol' domestic me. Jeepers!
So, I'll most likely be much too occupied to post anything new until Monday .. unless something really interesting happens. Like Apes riding Pterodactyls or something. I should be able to continue regularly posting after that, though. Hopefully.
Gosh, where to start? And, I could use some help! Hey, Hulk!?!? You wanna start with something? Help me out? What could you do?
Another quickie with "Lisa & Sluggo:"
Life's still far, far too chaotic around here for my own good. And for decent blog posts.
Here's a disturbing cover from a Swedish "Lisa & Sluggo" to better kink out my kharmic zenniness.
Another day, another missed opportunity to poke fun at wacky comics. Unfortunately, strange days and awkward restructuring at work is forcing me to spend less time goofing around with funnybooks these days. Plus, there's that whole "Holiday" thing...
I'm going to be quite busy in the upcoming weeks, and well.. badly-rendered photoshops will be taking a back door for a bit. Gotta take care of the home front, ya know. So, I'll blog when I can, and I promise to try and keep the quickies coming, at least. Case in point:
Spotted in Jack of Fables #25..
Sorry for the lack of postage yesterday. I was in the emergency room for most of the afternoon. Nothing serious - just a long, long day ending with an official, "Huh. Don't know what it is, then..."
Still.. I got some free rubber gloves! And tongue depressors! And Bio-chemical hazardous waste in a handy disposable bag!
Nevermind.
Anyway, here's Lois again:
Hey Kiddies! Heads up!
Even if I only give lip service to the original premise of The Want List, and completely blow off recommending Gud Comiks, I would be completely remiss if I didn't give you a reason to read Marvel Adventures any time Jeff Parker writes it. I don't care if it's an "All-Ages" book... trust me on this one. Look! And laugh!
I love bacon. Don't you?
Gonna go eat. I just got a new dishwasher and feel like trying it out. Bacon-style!
Happy Halloween, kiddies! I'm in the midst of dressing up for tonight's various appearances... gotta a lot of spirit gum, rigid collodian and fake hair to go through. Oh, and a Derby bout with the after parties. So, only a quickie this time.
But first...
Ah, Little Lulu! The world just doesn't understand you.
How jokes escalate:
OK, you're searching for some wacky Halloween cover to make a joke about when you find one to which your (admittedly) perverted and juvenile mind can only take one way - down the bawdy path. Or, as I refer to it: "The Road Well-Traveled." So.. you go that way and add the joke's necessary ball gag and realize that because you're putting it on a pig, it really should be an apple. See, that's more of the funny. Then, when adding the tag-line joke, you similarly notice that it really should be stuttered. Triple the f-f-f-funny!
Hey Kids! Guess what's coming up this weekend! Halloween! Yay! Let's try for a theme week! Why the hell not...
Still in low-content mode. Actually, I was in court yesterday for several hours and just didn't feel like doing anything else after that massive bureaucratic waste of time. Gosh, I hope these guys can somehow be put in charge of my health care! Ug.
Look for something new later this weekend - I'm working on several (read: Two) longer photoshop thingies, both of which are making me laugh as I do them. Hope they turn out like envisioned. And are less work than I think they'll be.
In the meantime, here's a disturbing Jughead panel to ponder over:
Eh, what the heck... let's make it a three-fer...
I really didn't set out to start STD Week at The Want List.
Really, I didn't. But, you gotta go where the river takes ya! And something about Jughead's reaction just made the joke too easy to ignore.
Still on low content, house-hunting mode. But a few of the houses we're checking out are looking better than before. No batpoles as of yet.
In the meantime, here's a zinger from Veronica:
So, yeah. I own an issue of Areala: Warrior Nun. Don't judge me*.
