Major Excellent! See? It’s like Captain Marvel, but less copyrighted.

So here’s the lowdown on the magical shiny wristbands.  Yeah, it’ll make more sense a little later.  For next week, we find out how they work and who exactly the Blue Guard is.  Stay tuned gentle reader!

Who Wants the Watchmen?

 

All the social networking sites are spewing hatred at 20th Century Fox because they just won a ruling against the release of “Watchmen”.  And I understand hating Fox.  How many franchises have they driven into the ground?   Hell, what’s the last good genre movie that company even produced?  Fucking X2Continue reading ‘Who Wants the Watchmen?’

Mediocre! Jimmy Revisited.

I wish I could drop an angry anthropomorphic Jack-o-lantern on the small children from downstairs that wake me up at eight o’ clock on Saturday mornings.  That’s really all the insight I can put into this one.

Not Dead Yet

I’m coasting.

Didn’t nab my pull yesterday (Chirstmas Eve), don’t have my web comics made and together. 

This is one of those things that occassionally happens when your hits lurk below four digits all too often.  It’s not your fault.  You didn’t do this. 

Cartoonist Max Rinkel and resident scientist IgNobel have been bringing the goods in my stalling… but IgNobel is literally headed to Peru to, (in her words) “kill things in the name of science”.  I have no idea exactly who she will be destroying, but it will no doubt be awesome.  Less awesome for all of us for a small time, but we’ll make it.

Speaking of making it… if you are so inclined to make “it” and write for the Towel, at this point you need only say so.  We have had great spurts of articles from our authors, but regularity has not always been our finest offering.  There will be, of course, be chest-thumping New Year’s resolutions to change this. 

In the meantime… I’m stuck at work and there’s a Next Generation marathon on.  Merry Christmas to you.

Major Excellent: We’re getting closer to violence now.

Yep, time again for Major Excellent.  This week, we see the first bits of the planet Cobalt, home of the Blue Guard and Democratic Order of Star Systems.  We also learn a bit more about what’s going on and what Hank’s here to do.  Next week: what the heck are those wrist thingies?

Mediocre! Let’s meet Jimmy.

I think everybody has a dumb neighbor at some point in their lives.  I’ve been fortunate to have many at the same time in virtually every place I’ve lived thus far in life.  One of them was not Jimmy.  One of them was like Jimmy but not funny.  Jimmy is funny and doesn’t own a shirt.  He’s the funny without the really soul-crushing sadness.

booya, Jim.

booya, Jim.

Pull List for December 17th, 2008

Well, let’s get the bad news out of the way– I’m missing a lot of this week’s pull as of THIS MOMENT.  Local comic book store was missing half the shipment when my wife was kind enough to pick up the pull on her lunch break yesterday.  I’ll be checking later today to see if I can get the rest of this week’s books, but even once I do it’ll take awhile to read everything.  IN the meanwhile… I’ll give you what I have, tell you what’s still coming, and update this post as soon as I’ve got more to give you.  Fair enough?

New Comic 12/18/08, Comics by Committee: “Not Worth It”

Stridex here. 

Today, I’m happy to say, I skipped on the whole committee thing and ended up doing my own caption.  So not only is today’s comic way more awesome because I rejected everyone else’s lame ideas, but I also insulted everyone I know.

Before you scroll any further, in some prudish workplaces the image may end up being NSFW… but there really isn’t any equipment visible.
