Fury Road, if you're half the codpiece-to-the-face bugnuts bananas fun the trailer makes you out to be, I will be ever so happy.
Robot-arm Charlize Theron leading some group of post-apocalyptic Delphic priestesses through massive Jovian sandstorms while Tom Hardy beats people to death with other people looks just so

Out of curiosity, I went over to Youtube to check this out. And holy moly, is the Paul Reubening of Marilyn Manson ever complete.

I have yet to read Drawn Together, and I don't know if I will, as I have a difficult time getting comfortable with Aline's art style. But a copy of Genesis shouldn't be too hard to dig up on the cheap and I really recommend it.
Incidentally, Freddy Avatar, have you read Syllabus? I got a copy for my brother for

Feiffer seems to have honed an age-proof style. The shakiness and lack of line confidence that naturally occurs as we get older was already baked right into his technique. The three panels shown here of the boxing match are a marvel. Feiffer does kinetic action like that as well as Eisner.

I'm sorry to hear Crumb felt Genesis was a mistake. I found reading the book to be a great joy. His distance and innate wryness never devolved into derision or condescension. That perspective provided a very human understanding of an evolving regional belief system.

Nice use of the New Batman Adventures Gotham backdrop for the Penguin's umbrella segment.

I recently got The Last Tinker: City of Colors to play with my kid. It is indeed colorful and a light platformer in the Banjo-Kazooie vein. It's very remedial and I don't know how satisfying it would be on my own, but it's a fantastic introductory platformer for kids. Fun, colorful, not too many buttons to master.

Mr. Meeken, I'm very happy to see your illustration work again. The color palette in particular on this one is gorgeous.

My wife got me into this show despite my protestations. I dislike the reality television format for a myriad of reasons, but the reliance on misanthropy and schadenfreude are the biggest.
Seeing all these kids commiserating, reassuring and honestly seeking advice from each other on their mind-blowing cuisine won me

I love the new podcast graphic.

Not receiving a single cent for a creative venture that you spent hours of dedication and effort into creating? HBO's all, "Hah! Now you know what it feels like!"

Seriously. I think how perfect they would be for my kid to eat her lunch on, but how if I had them I'd never let her touch them.
It's not sending her to work in the textile mills or having her hold my bourbon while I drive, but in our own humble way, our generation has found our own method to be terrible parents.

I'm a little disappointed that in the maelstrom of promotional t-shirt doffing shenanigans, Teti didn't lose count of his articles of clothing and accidentally just tear of his skin, resulting in a leering skeleton man for a senior editor. Or if the shirts could be torn into ribbons quickly enough, a spooky

And your heart will always be number one in Hannibal.

Discovering a long-time Gameological commenter is a British scientist living in Switzerland because he simply has to tell you about a Swedish Parliament simulation board game is the nerd equivalent of discovering Batman's secret identity because his cowl falls off when he's rescuing you from a fire.

Oh, don't be such a downer! Put another Gremlin in the microwave and enjoy the season!

Further evidence Sonic's new wrist bandages are protecting the stitches on his wrist from a thwarted suicide attempt.
You just couldn't let him go, could you Sega!

It's similar to Martin's world, where it's incredibly rare and a product of a long-ago era than anything practiced currently. But it's both more rare and more problematic than in Song of Ice and Fire.

I don't think he's terribly cynical, just brutally realistic about the human condition.

I've just sort of accepted that particular quality of his writing as a literary tic. Kvothe's propensity to comment on his current state of being with a Dickensian earnestness is just one of those quirks that you kind of have to take as part of the greater story.
It's a quality somewhat ameliorated by his story being
