Talk Like William Shatner Day!
Today is William Shatner’s birthday. He’s 78. Wow. Hard to believe that Captain James T. Kirk is pushing 80. Denny Crane, yes; Captain Kirk, nope, not possible. But it is.
So in honor of the Shat’s birthday, I suggest we all participate in the first annual TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER DAY! Not to worry, here are instructions on how to talk just like Willam Shatner. Once you’ve listened and learned, jump right in.
Oh, and… Happy… Birthday! [SHORT INHALE and SHARP BREATH] Mr. Shatner!
The Goon Lookin’ Good
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since it was announced that Eric Powell’s The Goon had been optioned by David [Se7en] Fincher for an antimated 3D feature. Harry, at AICN, posted a first look at what we can expect with two huge images that you can see here.
If Frank Miller Drew “Peanuts”
I’m really digging the time I spend at DeviantArt. There are tons of great artists posting some really cool work.
Frank Miller and Charles Schultz fans should get a kick out of Schultz City. It’s a two page piece written by Jean Luc Pham with art by “Ninjaink”. Here’s page one and this will get you to page two.
Enjoy!
Celebrate Each Step
This is pretty funny… especially if you stick around to get a look at the score.

Everything is Amazing and Nobody is Happy
Louis CK makes some very perceptive and funny comments in support of his belief that “Everything is amazing and nobody is happy!”

Another Bad Day for Jack
Although there’s a lot of discussion about Jack Bauer’s methods and use of torture, fans of the show have been given some relief. 24 is scheduled to begin filming it’s eighth season starting in May. Bauer will be back [along with potential love interest Annie Werching].
What’s the Difference?
A policeman pulled over a car, walked up to the driver’s window, and asked the man if he knew why he was pulled over.
“No,” the man replied.
“You failed to stop at the stop sign,” the cop explained.
“But I did slow down!” the guy argued. The cop shook his head. “You are required to stop. That’s why they’re called stop signs.” The man started to get belligerent. “Stop, slow down — what’s the difference?”
The cop pulled out his baton. “I can show you. I’m going to start hitting you with my baton. You tell me if you want me to stop or slow down.”
A Duck Walks Into A Bar…
A duck walks into a bar. And he says to the bartender “Got any grapes?” The bartender says “No, I don’t have any grapes.” The duck walks out, sorely disappointed.
So the next day, he walks back into the bar, asks the same question, gets the same answer.
The day after, he walks back into the bar, and again, asks the bartender, “Do you have any grapes?” The bartender, having still not figured out why this duck seems to think he may have some grapes, says to the duck, “No, and if you come back in here tomorrow and ask me if I have any grapes, I will nail your bill to the bar!”
The duck frowns, turns around, and walks out of the bar. So the next day, the duck walks back into the bar, and asks the bartender “Got any nails?”
The bartender says, “No.”
So the duck says, “Got any grapes?”

Kyle Baker is a busy man. He’s currently producing, directing, and starring in an animated version of The Bakers for Fox.

He also wants to do a new Bakers book to appear with the Fox release.
Whew! Talk about a workload. Everything Kyle Baker is involved in, is worth a look. It shouldn’t be hard to find something he’s involved in.
Fun with President Awesome
I love Evan Bryce’s approach to art. His blog is a daily stop on my internet travels. Now it looks like I’ll have another stop to add. Evan has teamed with Dean Trippe to create a weekly web comic called President Awesome. Dean and Evan say they will…
...have fun with the media coverage and the cultural phenomenon that is Obama!
Well, who doesn’t love a little fun?
Jim Ivey Says, “Slap ‘Em!”
Although I try to limit political discussion [this blog is supposed to be about fun stuff], I do love talking art [comics, movie posters, paperback covers, etc.]. President Obama had a series of political posters which made such an impact with their design that the style is being copied everywhere.
I decided that it would be cool to create a “Obamicon” using a vintage photo and favorite saying of my buddy Jim Ivey.
The Apocalypse is Coming!
I’m a big fan of Victor Gischler’s Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse. Yesterday at his blog Victor announced:
I’m happy to report that producer Brad Wyman — the dude responsible for some pretty cool films — has optioned my novel Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse. Mr. Wyman is eager to make the film version as close to the novel as possible, and I’m thrilled as hell.
Me too, Victor, me too.

Time for a Laugh
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said. “No” and explained the situation. Then the police explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
