Yes! As bonkers as the actual show was, these plots are even more so, and I wish the show had been that way. I also find it hilarious that Fonzie, the noble hero, brooms off some homeless guy and just assumes “the Cunninghams will help him”.

I like how the one cover hints at a “Pirate Fonzie” story and the image has NOTHING to do with it, it’s just a stock cast photo.

Jack Davis doing Sesame Street is a perfect vibe.

Yes, there was a “Happy Days” comic. Yes, it was weird in all the best ways.

There’s another one I have in this series that was made into a frame tray puzzle, I’ll post a pic of it if I can dig it out.

Lol CBS is just eliminating their “Late Night” content altogether, no replacements. Colbert said so himself in his broadcast statement.

Still love the scene where McDowell stumbles into a McDonalds and quickly learns to mimic the other customers to place an order (even faking an American accent), and then he just sits transfixed admiring the decor, the behavior of the patrons and stroking the fiberglass furniture while he eats

While grocery shopping today I found these. I don’t normally go in for this type of thing but I couldn’t resist, I love the designs. I also almost bought Superman/Krypto Milk Bones for our dogs, but resisted since they weren’t any different from normal ones, just the box was different.

That time Superman outwits Brainiac and he gets so flustered that he decides to just take himself out, and Lex with him. Then of course despite their hatred of Superman, their ghosts still have the courtesy to reassure him that they’re better off dead. Hey James Gunn, we need this in the sequel.

Just finished this in IMAX. WOW. Absolutely terrific: fun, uplifting, positive, full of great cameos, Easter eggs, action scenes (things you’ve never seen) and messages, and heavily/unashamedly influenced in tone and style by the comics and animated series. Lots of fun surprises too. Will see again.

Did manage to get one sketch at Heroes Con, this amazing Red Vengeance sketch by Lee Gatlin, someone who’s art I’ve been enamored of lately. Gorgeous drawing in there. @neilaglet.bsky.social

Some of my dollar bin and 50 cent bin comic pulls from Heroes Con. Cheap dopamine to try and quell the anxiety and depression from current events.

I’d argue this is an absolute classic of Batman merch. It’s so much worse that it’s multitudes better on all levels.

With the housing market continuing to be unaffordable, many are resorting to refurbishing old Mazingers as a solution to home ownership.

To be a true Gen X’er your mom wouldn’t have been home, she would have been working the night shift somewhere so you’d be getting your own latch key hose water by yourself, unsupervised in the middle of the night outdoors. After of course you made your own dinner and out yourself to bed.
