To paraphrase Heidi: WANT.

If you can look at this pic and not hear the Dethklok theme in your head, you're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

This picture of Uncle Stan circa 1947 absolutely fills me with glee. Found via Pappy's.

OUCH- that's gotta smart. From a funny old Golden Age story, posted (with amusing commentary) by Brian Hughes. Go check it, yo. I'll wait. Another from the same story:



Yeah, this one belongs on scans_daily. Context is indeed for the weak. Geez, can't a superhero get a little "private time" with his boy sidekick without being interrupted by a maniac with a garden implement attached to his wrist? Sometimes I think Wertham was on to something.


Anyway, greetings! I know, two days, no post. Combination of allergy misery, busy busy busy work schedule and other commitments is to blame. I'm slowly but surely whipping out reviews that I hope to post over the weekend, so bear with, please.

Happy TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, mateys!

Here's a special bonus TALPD image, ganked shamelessly from the great Golden Age Comic Book Stories blog because, well, it's always been a favorite panel of mine:

You're a scary old place out there world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Well the light can be bright there
And everything's right there
The end of the night there might be a big band
Or a heavenly choir--Or it might be the fire
But no matter what happens
I bet it's OK

You're a scary old place out there world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Your mountains when you're mad
Your rivers when your sad
And those deep blue seas
I love you for your snow
Your deserts down below
I love the way you wear your trees

The most beautiful world in the world
And though there are times when I doubt you
I just couldn't stay here without you
So when you get older
And over your shoulder
You look back to see if it's real

Tell her she's beautiful
Roll the world over
And give her a kiss and a feel

"The Most Beautiful World in the World" by Harry Nilsson, slightly edited.

First thing that crossed my mind when I saw this cover, starring Ego, the LOVING Planet. Jeff Parker, he'sa crazy fella. Everybody else has been having fun with it, so why not me?

I don't usually post web search terms from my referral site, since plenty of other people do it and I've never had the patience to collate them all, but I got one today that I thought was pretty funny:
