  • Arrest made in errant Adult Swim publicity campaign

    There has been at least one arrest made in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force farce.

  • Ignignokt and Err wreaking ever more havoc

    Here’s a follow-up about Cartoon Network’s inept campaign to publicize Aqua Teen Hunger Force. See the video on the right of the page. Some more pictures would really help us to understand the nature of the “devices” scattered around Boston, but from what I can tell, they appear to be a computer keyboard and a…

  • Kids still love superheroes!

    Shhh! Don’t tell kids that they’re not allowed to read comic books because they’re all PG-13 content (except for the hard R-brutality). So far as kids know, superheroes are still for them! The proof is all around me. This summer, my neighbor kids went nuts when they saw all the comic book stuff I was…

  • Gerald Ford senselessly eaten by wolves

    This seems relevant:

  • The unproduced finale to Dungeons and Dragons

    Did you ever wonder if those cartoon kids whose theme park ride trapped them in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons ever got home? Alas, the show was canceled without a finale. Yet, now it can be told: the Final Episode of Dungeons and Dragons. The Unproduced Dungeons and Dragons Finale, at least the rough…

  • “Mask of the Phantasm” composer dies

    From Paul Dini’s Live Journal: Just learned Shirley Walker passed away at age 61. Shirley was the composer we worked with on many of the Warner Bros. animated adventure series: BATMAN, SUPERMAN, BATMAN BEYOND, THE ZETA PROJECT as well as a number of direct to videos.
