We know why..

Cracked brings us 5 Upcoming Remakes of 80s Movies (That Must Be Stopped)

Who's going crazy..

Again, I know it's fashionable of late to rip on Alex Ross, but I think this cover looks awesome.

Not when I need it..

It's funny how when I don't really have anything to talk about, I can find a million things to blog about, but when I have big things going on or a lot of exciting things to talk about I get what amounts to "blog-fright" (Note to self : Get Curt to get the lawyer to trademark that phrase).

I just end up feeling like the task of organizing my memories into coherent thoughts and those thoughts into interesting word-collections ("sentences") is hell of daunting. Or that I'm never going to be able to re-tell my adventures with the same kind of incredible adventure-y-ness that they deserve.

And then I keep putting off doing any regular blogging as well because I keep telling myself, "Dude, you really need to get on that SPX report." And now I've got this Post-It note on my desk filled with post ideas I need to get to, but can't until I get the SPX report out of the way.

So having said that, I should say that SPX was really awesome.

I mean, really.

It's where we need to be.

There is no way Curt and I (and thus, Let's Be Friends Again) will not become a permanent fixture of SPX.

I don't have everything scanned or uploaded yet, so I can't post all my pictures, but there are pictures forthcoming.

I will tell you in advance I own the two greatest things Bryan Lee O'Malley has ever drawn.

Oh, and before I forget, the above art was a 2 minute coloring job I did on a panel from page 5 of Let's Be Friends Again #1 which is being syndicated in it's entirety over at (you guessed it) letsbefriendsagain.com!

As today is Thursday (and Tuesdays and Thursdays are the days we've deigned fit to bless you with new content), there is a new comic/page up as well as insightful writer's commentary from Curt.

Please go check it out, subscribe to the feed, and tell a few dozen of your friends so that we can be friends with them too.. again... for the first time. 

We have stories..

Curt Franklin is basically the best guy anyone could ever know.

He's honest, trustworthy, dependable, upstanding, courageous, intelligent, handsome, clever, witty, sharp, understanding, forgiving, encouraging, funny, and most importantly the ballin'-est dude I know, all without being a dick about it.

Thanks to him I've seen places and done things I otherwise never would have seen or done.

Some of these things include meeting Evan Dorkin, James Kochalka, Patrick Gleason, Mike Mignola, Tad Stones, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Nate Bellegarde, Benito Cereno, Becky Cloonan, Dan DiDio, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murhpy, Bill Corbett, and Darth Vader.

Some other things include finding myself passed out in strip club bathrooms, seedy motels in shady parts of town, and in rehab.

That last bit might be a joke... since he's helped me develop this drinking problem it's hard to remember everything clearly.

My point is this, Curt is as good and true a friend and talented and supportive a creative partner as anyone could ever hope for, and I am very thankful that I am able to say he is both to me.

Today is his birthday, and I hope that it is a wonderful one.

Friends won't let you down..

This is a quick little Batman I drew.
Full SPX report coming soon!
I may not post it here though, I may have to go ahead and post it at http://letsbefriendsagain.com/ since the trip was a Let's Be Friends Again-Brand Adventure.

Pardon me..

This is where Curt and I will be this weekend, pushing Let's Be Friends Again on the masses!
I'll probably be live-tweeting it on my Twitter account, so feel free to keep up with that if you like hearing about me talking to Bryan Lee O'Malley about Sloan.

OH!
HEY!
While I'm on the subject of Let's Be Friends Again, LETSBEFRIENDSAGAIN.COM is now officially open for business!
Seriously.
Go check it out.

I don't know what you're doing..

Celebrities who don't want you to vote.

The steel industry collapsed..

Do not listen to this at work..

Bo Burnham.
Basically, this dude is a great rapper.
Definitely not work or family friendly, but I know of little rap that is.
Giving mc chris a run for the best white rapper title?

He's for every one of us..

Art by the amazing John Martz at RobotJohnny.com & colors by me.
As is usually the case, I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so here are both.

I colored and posted this for three reasons.
1) I find great joy in doing simple little coloring jobs like this.
2) I wanted to point you towards RobotJohnny.com if you weren't already aware.
3) News broke this morning that The CW has ordered a pilot for a Smallville style show about Robin before he was Robin called The Graysons.

Anyone have thoughts on any of this?

Won't you come on over..

James Kochalka celebrates the release of Mega Man 9!

He double majored in philosophy & drama..

Via Super Punch.

Does anyone else see this and feel like we are tantalizingly close to Kaneda's motorcycle becoming a reality?

Oh, wait, nevermind. Someone in Japan has already made one.
In fact, apparently a LOT of people have.
It is now my feeling that Ferrari is trying to rip off Kaneda's motorcycle.

So cool in that new Camaro..

Okay, so Terence Stamp is my hero.
You'd think being General Zod would be enough, but he's also written three memoirs, a novel, and a cookbook.

Plus he was mentioned in the Kinks song, Waterloo Sunset.

The message is clear..

It made you, it made me..

- Original pencils for part of a chrishaley/Big*Red*Robot collaboration project.

- Someone found my blog by searching for "Boner Man Costume". I kid you not.

I am completely uncertain as to how I should feel about this.

Is this person planning on making a "Boner Man" costume for Halloween? If so, how can I insure that they send me pictures of said costume to post here?

- Two posts ago, I presented my review of Hulk #6, and apparently some people were not aware I employed some Photoshoppery to have the Hulk himself sum up my opinion of the issue.

It was supposed to be.. what do you call it.. funny.

I'll try to be more blatant with my "humor" next time.

Lightning shot from the sky..

All I'm trying to say is that is a fine looking movie poster.

No farther than you'd normally go..

A Series of Images Wherein I Review a Comic : Hulk #6

Let's do this thing!

This review thing!

I'm not innocent, in my defense..

Check out Project : Rooftop's "Most Likely To Get Me Fired For Checking It Out At Work" Competition!

You're trying to pull me back..

I think putting the quotation marks around the word actors would be more accurate.

Every other day is a kick in the shins..

This dude has the baller-est library ever.
