Currently reading: Craig Thompson’s “Habibi”. Let it be known that this graphic novel is an absolute work of art.

Kickass Christmas presents!

  1. “The Trial of Colonel Sweeto” - Nic Gurewitch’s published PBF collection.
  2. A box of DC vintage comics postcards.
  3. A Holga 120 CFN. Beware the impending onslaught of wanky, artsy fartsy photography.

Halfway through reading Orc Stain and I was trying very hard to suppress a barrage of prematurely positive hyperbole. “This is fucking good shit!” kept creeping through my head as I sifted through page after page of James Stokoe’s kinetic artwork and clever storytelling. True, there’s a fair bit that would turn the average nun off (see: penis fascination, overzealous gore, general grossness of orcs) - but put that aside, there is so much to appreciate and marvel at when you consider Stokoe wrote, drew, inked, colored and lettered all of it himself. Am almost done with Volume 1. In a short moment, I will be sadfacing at the thought of having to wait at least another year or so before Volume 2 is wrapped up.

The Avengers Trailer (Sweded)

There’s something ineffably charming about well-executed Sweded videos. Sweded videos in and of itself seems to imply a high-level of awareness of poor production values and hilariously low-cost.

And yet, when someone decides to pull off “shitty homemade video” with an extravagant dose of (low-cost) panache, you can’t help but feel that it deserves an Asgardian-tavern ale toast and a hearty slap on the back. 

Particularly for the impressive Thor performance and Black Widow’s red hankerchief “wig”.

Viruscomix: The de-evolution of alternative music Personally, I’d put Nickelback at the end of any de-evolution chart. It edges just a wee bit ahead of Kid Rock and the Jo Bros.  Via: Bel

When you’re hairy, brown and incomprehensible (see: token gargley-throated guy), you’d better not expect to be given the benefit of the doubt. As far as the caucasians are concerned, you’re to blame for everything (see: token tech support guy from India who’s vilified for sub-par work despite doing his best to deal with the language barrier, poverty and twenty years of oppression).  Via: Space Avalanche

ilovecharts: How a SENTINEL Works When I was a kid, I thought these things were so cool. The one thing that always bugged me was how it looks like they’re wearing spandex instead of being constructed out of durable metal plating. Also, they look like Galactus. Which in turn, I’ve been told, makes them look like an army of grape flavoured Push Pops.
