No Time To Get Dressed
I had thought that Blondie’s 75th Anniversary cross-over event was over. Yesterday’s strip, posted above shows that I was wrong. I guess that The Phantom was in a hurry to make the plane since he didn’t have time to put on his full costume. [Another tip of the cowl to Mark Evanier!]
Who Will Show Up Next?
I really don’t read comic strips much anymore. You would think that I still would since I love the form. It’s just as I got older, I just found myself reading fewer strips. One that I still take the time to check out is Blondie.
It’s hard to believe that Blondie celebrates it’s 75th anniversary on September 8th. What’s really cool is that many comic strip creators are joining in on the celebration by having their characters make appearances in the Blondie strip and vice versa.
Here Dagwood shows up to personally invite Garfield to the party. Rose . BC has a gets her invitesubtle reference. Many characters decide to show up early for the party. The Wizard of Id plans to attend. Dick Tracy is on a case but takes time to make mention of the event! Mutts‘ invitation arrives as even more guests arrive early. Dagwood sends the Wizard of Id a gift. Beetle Bailey and Dagwood hang out playing poker. Mother Goose and Grim provide a witty set of directions to the Bumstread‘s. Dagwood drops off an invite for The Family Circus. The Wizard of Id decides on the perfect gift. Blondie shows up in Shoe‘s hangout. Even little Trixie is welcome. And of course there are many special guests showing up in recent Blondie strips.
If you like this kind of stuff, then keep your eyes peeled. The cross-overs will be going on for at least another week. [A special tip of the derby to Mark Evanier for pointing out all these great guest appearances!]
Treat Your Mother Right
You may remember the sage advice of The Mayor of Carter Country… No, not “Handle it, handle it, Roy.” His words of wisdom were, “Always be kind to your mother.”Mr. T agrees. So Treat Your Mother Right and quit yer jibber-jabberin’.
And don’t give me no backtalk!
Mariahs’s Fake Abs – You Make the Call
Remember when I told you that I thought that Mariah Carey looked like she had painted on her abs for her 4th of July Macey’s performance?
I thought it was just a funny little item and was surprised when it was picked up here and a bunch of other places.
The July 25, 2005 issue of US Weekly even has the story in it’s This Minute You Want to Know About section.
The piece, Did Mariah Fake Her Six-Pack? brings everyone up to speed: “Sure, Mariah Carey‘s back on top of the charts, but who knew her stomach muscles were also making a comeback?” The author then asks a make-up expert and a rep for Mariah Carey to weigh in on the subject.
The make-up artist [Sally Blenkey-Tchasova, owner of one of the places that started the whole “spray-on” craze] was quoted as saying, “It looks like she was helped by make-up or air-brush tanning. Even if a woman is really ripped, abs are generally not that symmetrical.”
You’re probably as surprised as I am [meaning not very], that Mariah’s rep denies that the abs are fake without every really saying their not. “This is ridiculous. She has been eating right and working out for three hours a day. Mariah has never looked or felt better.
The picture to the right was taken about three weeks before the one at the top of this post. So, ZONErs… what do you think?
Mariah and the Painted-On Abs
Last night as I was flipping the channels, I happended across Mariah Carey performing at the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular. Now normally, that wouldn’t be worthy of commenting here but…
As I was watching the performance I said to my wife, “Hey, doesn’t it look like someone painted on Mariah’s abs?”
She didn’t think so and attributed it to Mariah working out and dancing. Still it looked kind of funky to me.
Before flipping on to new channels, I said, “I still think it looks like she had those abs painted on.”
Well guess what…
Rock On… Crazy Frog!
This little fellow is The Crazy Frog. And in case you didn’t know it, he’s taking the world by storm.
I first read about The Crazy Frog a while back. I thought he was amusing in an irritating way. Then earlier in the week I saw a link posted to this video.
Then I read about The Crazy Frog in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Whoa.
What’s amazing is that The Crazy Frog ring tone kept Coldplay’s premiere of “Speed of Sound” safely in second place on the UK music singles chart. The Crazy Frog has the #1 selling single?
Now THAT is CRAZY
Are You Stressed
With Christmas quickly approaching, I’m sure that many of us are experiencing various levels of stress. As a public service to Zoners everywhere, here is a quick stress test that was used in a major hospital study to determine stress levels in patients.
The picture below has 2 almost identical dolphins in it. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical.
A closely monitored, scientific study of a group revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
If there are many differences found between both dolphins, it means that the person is experiencing a great amount of stress.
Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a vacation.
Only One Man Can Play "Dubya"
You just know at some point someone is going to have to play President George W. Bush in a movie. But who could do President Bush justice?
Watch this short video and you’ll know.
Amazing, isn’t it?
Trick or Treat?
Ah, Halloween is here.
And since I have a TON of work to complete before the Trick or Treaters begin to arrive… Let me leave you ZONErs with just this little treat.

Get Your Goon On!
Without a doubt one of the most enjoyable comics going today is Eric Powell‘s The Goon. Dark Horse says The Goon “is a hilarious blend of pulpy horror and slapstick comedy following the ongoing misadventures of the man they call the Goon and his spastic sidekick Franky as they battle the legions of the undead!” Yeah, that pretty much sums it up!
I’ve been buying and loving the Goon since it was a little self-published comic. Now that it’s one of the most popular comics going today, I’m still pumping it up. Although I’ve posted this link before, here it is again in case you missed it… read The Goon #1 for free by clicking HERE.
Then if you’re so inclined check out the first and second trade paperback and here’s a link for the third which is just now being pre-ordered. [That’s the cover for it to the left.]
Hellboy & The Goon Team Up
If someone asked you to name some great team-ups you might think of Abbott and Costello… Batman and Robin… Bogie and Bacall… Hellboy and The Goon… Wait a minute! Hellboy and The Goon?
But hey’ve never teamed up… Oh yeah, you guessed it fanboy…
Hellboy and The Goon are teaming up in Goon #7 which ships in June from Dark Horse Comics. Click [HERE] for full details.
Now how cool is that?
Cool enough that I’d call my local comic shop and reserve a copy or two now
Goon or Bust
I’ve been a fan of Eric Powell and his creation “The Goon” since Eric first started self-publishing it a few years ago.
I talked it up as each issue came out… and again when Eric put out each Goon trade paperback… and again when Dark Horse picked up the series. Well, I’m talking it up again since Dark Horse is providing a
free on-line preview of The Goon! Check it out, and if you’ve never picked up an issue, you’ll see what you’ve been missing [and what I’ve been yapping about all these years]!And by the way, isn’t that the coolest Goon bust?
