Another undisputed classic: ‘George Washington.’ And, a story from times past!

Today’s blog theme is apparently sharing my favorite YouTube videos with the masses, but what better way to recapture sitting around with some buddies on laptops drinking beers and perusing the interwebs?! By the way, if you haven’t ever partaken in a night of casual drunkenness and online laughter, you should! In fact, I have a story about that which I’ll recount after the video and after the jump, so read on!

‘Things I shamelessly love that I should probably be ashamed of’ #2: dlisted

Now, I’m not normally a fan of celebrity gossip magazines or Web sites. Aside from reading the headlines of Us Weekly while in line at the grocery store or waiting at a doctor’s office and flipping through People, I pretty much can’t stand that form of media. So, why would a gentlemen such as myself have any sort of affinity for a rag blog like dlisted? Well, let me explain…

Quicker Hits, aka “Few Line Reviews”

For whatever reason, my super short and super sweet comic book reviews went a little longer this week. So, instead of “two line reviews,” they are now “few line reviews!” See how fun rhyming is?!

Here’s round one for this week’s books (“this week” being in reference to books that dropped on April 29, 2009), enjoy’em after the jump and then come back in a day or two for more!

No stranger to danger!

After drawing up my swine flu comic and feeling as if I had spent more time on it practicing perspective and scenery than actually on the characters and the humor of it, I really felt I needed to draw and post something a bit more…well, awesome.

Here’s what I came up with, and I think it turned out pretty darn good…

One slap-happy remix

I don’t like to make a habit of posting videos here without some sort of interesting and detailed post to explain them, but I saw this on guilty pleasure celeb gossip blog dlisted (I’ll explain why I even check that site in an upcoming post) and it was too damn catchy and amuse not to post here.

And now, I want a mutha luvin’ Slap Chop! I want it bad…real bad.

Watch out for these little piggies in your market!

I won’t claim to know much of anything about this whole swine flu thing, but—like everyone else, I’m sure—I keep hearing the name bandied about left and right. Anywho, a weird little concept spinning out of swine flu mania and a children’s story came to me last night and I figure I’d draw it up as a one-panel comic strip. About halfway through drawing it I kinda of thought, “Hmm, this was funnier earlier,” but I was enjoying spending some time practicing my doodling of entire scenes, and not just people, so I think it was a worthwhile exercise either way…

…and if that doesn’t completely undersell it, then I don’t know what does?! I best just let it speak for itself and hopefully people get a few chuckles out of it.

Choice Comic Covers: ‘Uncanny X-Men’ #308

This one’s all about the nostalgia.

Uncanny X-Men #308
Uncanny X-Men #308

It’s not the most striking image, but I think the reason this cover deserves to be among the entrants in CCC (my Choice Comic Covers!) is because I saw so little of it that it as a kid that it became somewhat a novelty. When I flipped through my comic collection, this classic cover would always remind me of the last time I pulled it out, read it and loved it. I was normally so engrossed with the interiors that I never thought much about the cover, till I’d be searching through my comics again weeks, months or years later and it’d call out to me. I picked it back up so many times during these shuffles through my childhood comics, giving it another go with each rediscovery, that I literally read the cover right off my copy of Uncanny #308.

Jump up, jump up and get down!

Hey folks!
I’m going to start using jumps on my posts from here on out in hopes of a little more front page organization and a little less scrolling through some of my more massive posts when you really just want to get to the short one right after that. So, when you see the little orange text blurb at the end of a post on the front page that says, “Read the rest of this entry →,” click on it!

Try it out right now…
