Scooby Doo Lego!
I know at least several people who will be first in line for this. According to the various stories, the two sets will be arriving this Summer. Seems about right. The people I’ve met at the Lego Store say the … Continue reading
The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh
Last year was the show’s 25th anniversary and luckily I got this fascinating book completed before the year ended. Even the most jaded critic who says, “Oh, the show was better back during [insert season here],” will enjoy the observations … Continue reading

RIP Christine Cavanaugh
To the world she’ll forever be known as the voice of the sheep-herding pig Babe, a movie I will never deny made me well up at the end. Sadly, due to a financial dispute EG Daily took her place in the weirder, … Continue reading

This Holiday Season I’m closing out all the Brushes with Greatness I procrastinated about and boy howdy there’s a slew, one that’s a couple years behind that I have no excuse to putting off. I will start with this gentleman because … Continue reading

A family portrait homage to the Belchers
I almost forgot to include the other tribute via TeeFury. Sure it was the loser against the Beefsquatch but I loved this design. It definitely captures the kids’ spirits: Tina feeling awkward, Louise wanting space and Gene getting goofy. The … Continue reading
1989: The Simpsons Christmas Special
I double-checked to make sure I wasn’t repeating myself from five years ago! Firstly, I want to kick off with yet another link from the fine folks at Mental Floss, many of the facts they divulge aren’t new if you’ve watched … Continue reading
Rick and Morty play Portal
A great take on what I think was the breakout show on Adult Swim this year, although Black Jesus is pretty close too. This was being worn by a staffer at my comic book store Rogues Gallery. Unlike the video game, watching … Continue reading
Notice me!
One of the funniest episodes of Bob’s Burgers. If you haven’t seen it, check it out on Netflix. I think it’s the second season finale. Then you’ll see the context of the name. I must admit the Burger King logo lends … Continue reading
Rodger Bumpass
The first big guest I wanted to meet at InvaderCon, the voice of Professor Membrane (aka Dib and Gaz’s remote, scientist father for those who’ve never seen the show) but you probably know him better as Squidward Tentacles…Rodger Bumpass! What … Continue reading

Huh uh uh huh uh…nacho dogs rule
Haven’t seen the moronic duo in a long time. I guess their return on MTV hasn’t been very memorable but they do make a great mashup.
InvaderCon, the Final DOOM
For once, really diving deep into the regional paper paid off. The puff-piece-laden attempt at local news tends to be full of plugs on businesses opening/closing and gives Congressional schmucks Michael McCaul, John Carter and Bill Flores a soapbox. Buried … Continue reading
Tina is sooooooo Metal
A must have I scored while shopping at Hot Topic for some friends’ daughters who love Frozen. You could say Tina is the anti-Elsa and anti-Anna.
OH! MY! GLOB! Light a match would you! It’s burning my lumps
The new, well, the first, design on my comic-book store’s bathroom door. I myself have issued a few edicts from here.
