"But I don't personally know him or are related to him, so how good can he be?"

OK, this is interesting because....I took a trip to Hawaii in 2000 and there was a restaurant called "Cheeseburger In Paradise" there. This was two years before the first of these opened. Was there a trademark conflict in Waikiki?

If they are, I wish they'd say something. Performing for a vacuum is no fun

The six year difference makes for a bit of an art bump, but it doesn't clash TOO much. I didn't want to draw Karen "worse" to match my 2019 skills.

Welp, I did it. I pulled a Lucas (George, not Sinclair) and updated Karen Wheeler's model on all three pages of "Stranger Things Season 2 1/2" in which she appears. It's to my eternal embarrassment I got the models for Mike's mom and Dustin's mom mixed up.

Cool! Here's where you can find the full comic series:

This seems like a good place to tell you: I make a Stranger Things webcomic, and your post a few days ago inspired a pretty great opening scene for this week.

This post from Discontinued Foods nine days ago inspired the opener for this week's comic. Thanks to the nameless psychiatrist who runs that account; this turned out pretty great

Then, don't miss the second half of THE FORBIDDEN CARTOON REVEALED, where things really ramp up -- and you might find out where a very familiar character came from!

Who is Natalya, the Soviet assassin who's now after Eleven? What is Natalya's "special ability" that may make dealing with her harder than El realizes? Find out in the latest #StrangerThings comic, now live!

You've got more talent in your little foot than most have in entire factories

"I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for life that isn't plant-based."

Natalya is an 80s-era Soviet assassin spy in a black skintight outfit and fingerless gloves, with a belt to store all her knives, of which she has many. Her purplish hair is tied in a bun, wrapped around a knife.

Tomorrow you'll meet NATALYA!

A stylish Russian assassin who's on the hunt for Eleven!

I thought for a second "random team-up, but it's cool to see fanart of her"...then I remembered that's your character ^_^;

Yay, she's not dead!

The problem with the Top Cow comic is that it often had crossovers with their characters, like Witchblade, and so there are holes in these new collections where those issues can't be reprinted.

Why are you lumping "personal websites" into that list? They are not and will never be obsolete! They will always be superior to a social media site that controls what you see.

Red Riding Hoods assemble!

Always impressed by people who can shift artstyles and make it look easy. Not all have the gift!

Good heavens, man, this can't be canon. Has she ever been seen eating this monstrosity? I guess there are eight episodes yet to be released, so it could still happen, but...yikes

Here's the overall mound I wound up with after the luckiest PRGE in history. I'm not a reckless spender, I budgeted months in advance for this event

This is the line waiting for the second panel I went to, "The Charles Martinet Experience." No photos or videos were allowed. Martinet was one of the warmest people I've ever heard and gave a speech about kindness and loving yourself. It's a crime that no one will ever hear it outside of that room.

The Discotek Media table is back! I wasted a whole half-hour idling in this area because I simply could not decide what to buy. Could you?
The one I picked is in the last post. #PRGE #PRGE2025

Artwork for "Seawitch" pinball machine

Artwork for "Comet" pinball machine

Old pinball machines have such interesting art (though the gang on that "Comet" one looks rather unnerving). As I was taking these pictures, the guy who owns the machines walked by and showed me how to play. Lucky Moment #3

Your goal is to rescue Will from the Upside Down by playing through eight "chapters," collecting tree-light wall letters and mashing a Demogorgon head in the kisser whenever it appears. I sucked at it, so this is what I gathered from watching other people play

Surprised Pikachu saying "THEY'RE MAGNETS!"

A magnet-ized version of the Spider-Man meme

Actually, forget the "as if" pillow -- what I REALLY need are two Spider-Men pointing at each other on my fridge forever. Too bad they were $30 each!

You know what? Archie, Urkel and Stimpy would actually get along really well. Somehow, this doesn't feel random at all
