Ron Burgundy works for Fox 5 New York
Yes. You may need to replay that a couple times… He DOES say that.
Would the supergroup be called Iron Monkee or Monkeemaiden?
Ever wondered what a Monkees/Iron Maiden crossover would sound like?
Me either.
Do they have pub crawls for dogs, too?
Billy Mays would have sold the SHIT out of these.
When I was a kid, this commercial made me want an Oldsmobile.
They look like they’re having so much fun!

In honor of the new Tron film, here’s one of the original suits

The Logistics of ComicCon Amazes Me…
I’d be interested to see how much trash Comic-Con generates. Before you get within a block of the convention center, people are shoving cards and energy drinks and ads for dating sites in your face.
Inside the Con, the large media companies hand out free pins, free bags, and free hats that turn con goers into [...]
The Rules of ComicCon…
Much like “Fight Club” – there are rules. Rules that must be followed, and not knowing the rules doesn’t make you exempt from them.
Today’s story involves my friend Tom Brysky and Harry Potter.
Tom is a Chicago area artist. Tom buys an exhibitor’s table at the event with several friends. One of his friends wanted [...]
SDCC – Day 3
About midway through the convention center are all the big media companies and their gigantic displays. One year, Lucasfilm had a full sized X-wing fighter at their booth.
We weren’t so lucky this year. Instead, we get statues of stars from the ‘Clone Wars’ series and a bunch of Mandalorians.
Yesterday was Tyrese’s people handing out a ton of cards…
…today, it’s eHarmony for nerds….
The Celebrity Comic Book
Rosario Dawson did it.
Stone Cold Steve Austin did it.
Now Tyrese is doing it.
At least once a Comic-Con, attendees are ‘treated’ to a celebrity-based comic. The celeb hits the show floor, does a few interviews about how great the show is and how original his book is. Speculators rush in, buy the first few issues, sales [...]
Who’s Ready for new Dexter??
I can’t tell if that baby is Photoshopped… But, I love the ad. And I guess I now know what happened last season…
Raise Your Hand…
…if you are surprised L. Ron Hubbard has a booth at the San Diego ComicCon.
Now, put your hand, and your head, down in shame. OF COURSE he has a booth.
How else do you get new recruits than by showing them some magical story of a man who died, and then magically rose from the [...]
The Dark Side of the ComicCon
We’ve been here 5 minutes, and I’ve been given 4 advertisements for Tyrese’s (Gibson from Transformers fame) shitty comic.
Nerd Riots
Most media and blog posts focus on all the stars and the wonderful panels at Comic-con. They usually gloss over several truths about the show:
You can either attend panels or walk around to see displays. Not both.
The areas around the booths run by the large media companies are hot and FUNKY. Seriously. The air is [...]
Welcome to the San Diego ComicCon!
For two weeks every summer, the sleepy town of San Diego becomes the center of the geek universe.
Movie studios hawk their tentpole films for the following summer. Video game companies show off their big games for the holiday season. TV studios give fans unprecedented acess to their favorite stars.
Dog Bites Man. And woman. And Doberman.
If you ever find yourself in Van Nuys, watch out for vagina-chomping dogs.
