Can you see this? I've had to jump through hoops to bypass the security software on MY OWN COMPUTER just to post my comics.

Let me know if you can see it.

MODOKTV

There's a tiny little pop culture blogsite over in the far corner of the web called The Fake Life (or TFL as all the hip kids like to say). It's operated by some net-friends of mine. Is "net-friends" a real term for internet friends? If not it should be. Anyhow, I scribbled a spot illustration for one of the columns. The author, Carlton Stevens, ran my rendering through photoshop and came up with a super keen looking bit of awesomeness. Check it out here.
And while we're on the MODOK tip, run out to your local comic shop and buy THIS!

EW's Obsessive Fan Of The Week

A few weeks ago my friend Dan made this feature with his Ultra Man fetish. This week's issue (the one with the Oscar on the cover) has my friend Rob coming out with his Aquaman collection. It even gives the link to his blog! I feel compelled to complete a local nerd trifecta by submitting an obsession of my own, but Dan tells me the Hulk has already been featured. We tried to come up with another obsession, but zombies are just too vague and I'm so completely over my corn dog phase. I was starting to become pretty dejected about not having a good obsession. Then Dan pointed out a great one- my love of Archie comics digests. Pocket-sized digests collecting all the hilarious adventures of not just Archie and his gang, but also featuring fun with Josie & The Pussycats, That Wilkins Boy and Lil' Jinx!
I can totally top Dan and Rob here. Archie is nerdy even by geek standards! If I can find a Jughead hat I'll pose for a pic with all of my treasured digests! Except for my Betty & Veronica issues. Cause that would be totally gay.

We Are All Disgusting

Yesterday I saw a mouse in Wendy's. Actually, I wasn't the only one. There was a pack of about thirty or forty teenagers there who first spotted it and screamed and carried on. Kid's today, I swear!
Anyhow this little grey critter ran all through the crowded eatery and still I ordered lunch for myself and my darling wife. As a matter of fact, not a single person left in disgust. Nobody even complained. Some of us just kind of laughed.
No wonder Fast Food Nation tanked at the box office.

My Stupid Friend

I have a friend. We'll call him "Joe". Joe is very stupid and I will tell you why.
Joe actually walked away from Superman Returns thinking that the little boy was not Superman's son. This is supremely retarded for many reasons, not the least being that the kid hurls a giant piano at 60 mph. Forget all the clever little clues in the beginning. Forget the creepy midnight visit Lois' baby-daddy makes, the one where he talks about fathers and sons and Marlon Brando and I don't know what. Even without all that, the fact remains that the kid threw a piano across the room at 60 mph. That's it. Don't bother calling Maury, that's all the proof you need.
I can't believe I'm actually friends with a half-wit like Joe. I wish I knew how to quit him.

Smell like Hulk! Be smash with ladies!
