Pages from the backs of magazines. Back issue comics found for less than a dollar or even as cheap as fifty cents. Slithers from other collages in publications. Leave it up with some blank space on the walls and the result varies...

There are at least sixty-six different clippings to spot in the photo alone. All this on the chance of capturing a dusty old cobweb linking from one corner of of the ceiling to another.

Doing a shocker to the system, the pilot of Heat Vision and Jack. Found on the popular dig of the del.icio.us beat.



With Jack Black as Jack Austin and Owen Wilson as Heat Vision, the production values on this look remarkably 70s and the dialogue so within that era. This for a pitch made in 1999 and the joke is the kind of cracker to salt sea water. Ron Silver, the bad guy of this aborted series, is wicked and oozes the kind of menace lacking in too many villains in the current crop.

Tragicool it is.

Remembered one time at an OzCon, probably OzCon 7, trying to score as many freebies as possible from the MAD magazine booth. Badges, couple of magazines and that was it. And, there signing away a few of the mags, Chris Wahl.

Now Chris Wahl has started his own art blog and decries it as a place for "...daily sketches, illustrations and some personally selected older pieces."

Which, if all other currents are to be tasted like they were dipped in the same gunk, might be a challenge. Especially on the daily ritual side of things. Bad feeling about reading out the intentions from the out set.

The count down is now on to the first lapse followed by an apologetic posting about not posting.

Steven Grant put out the call for any sort of question to be answered on his column at Comic Book Resources. Naturally, most of the ones that got through, or were sent, related to working in the comics industry or about his column.

So...

Sarcasm is often seen as the lowest form of wit. In a family analogy, it would be the one you leave to its own devices at a dinner, not paying much attention. What then of satire? Is it the one that leaves you feeling unsure and too set to say on either side of applause or dismissal?"

And the response:

Sarcasm is not the lowest form of wit. Sarcasm is the lowest form of irony. The lowest form of wit is generally considered to be the pun, though I would suggest the lowest form is superhero parody. At a dinner, satire would be the one that leaves you laughing.

Slips through!

Months on and the Marvel Database Project (MDP) still continues pumping along like a Juggernaut into She-Hulk. Other contenders along the way have had their take at the title, but none can outlast the sheer behemoth that the MDP has become.

So damn large and heavy that at times the load is too great and a wait on the other end can seem like a go at the toilets.

And of course, like the recent revamp of IDW, Marvel are back in the game. This time, they've brought their Marvel Universe along with them.

And the duking of wiki projects is on.

Sweet Moses. Nearly a week without a computer and the only thought pervading the nights turns into what crossword to do next.

And of course, no crossword actually gets finished in the one sitting. Three even seems to be far on the outside. Damn references outside the scope of frying the brains and pumping iron into the neck.
