Storks: Rental
This could’ve been worse. I was really drawn to it in the hopes of more Goldbergian machinery as the trailer showed. Instead it’s just a buddy/road trip flick as the stork named Junior and human called Tulip travel to deliver … Continue reading
Bugs Bunny meets The Doctor
Got it just in time for WizWorld. I received a lot of positive inquiries about the shirt too.
The Amazing World of Gumball is an understatement
One little luxury I’ve allowed myself during this stint of housesitting besides spoiling a couple cats has been binge watching this gem on Cartoon Network. Since Adventure Time and Regular Show are on hiatus (sadly, the latter will be starting its … Continue reading
This month you’re stuck with ZOIDBERG!
For 2016, I got a Futurama calendar in which each month is a different character I can convert into a mask! Sadly they skipped Amy and Bender’s setup is the centerfold. September is everyone’s favorite loser and inept ship’s doctor (probably … Continue reading
RIP Jack Riley
Farewell to the man who was Bob Newhart’s grumpy patient Mr. Carlin in the Seventies but to my generation and younger people he was the voice of Stu Pickles on Rugrats. Jack had a very distinct voice. I think he also … Continue reading
Emo Phillips
Last night I was re-united with the stand-up comedian who really started my brief radio career in promotions and collecting autographs…the absurd, acquired taste, a proud product of the Chicago suburbs…Emo Phillips! He actually remembered performing at Marquette! I told … Continue reading

My new Bugs Bunny watch!
Watch OS 2 finally brought the ability to have the watch face I wanted, my personal hero and totem animal/character in this pushy world. I didn’t have him on there right away but Somara took the time to work on … Continue reading
Finally, some merchandise for this overlooked show
I broke my promise on acquiring new T-shirts yet I will have something “retire” to make room for this. However, I had to have it. Thanks to the show’s co-creator, Bill Oakley, for plugging the vendor on Twitter. I’ve ditched … Continue reading
Get away from him you bitch!
Not sure if Shaggy is trying to save Scooby from the Alien Queen or the new girlfriend getting in the way of their friendship! Give it a moment to let the joke sink in. Another hilarious creation by Texas’ own … Continue reading
The Good Dinosaur: Time killer
Inside Out was a demonstration of Pixar regaining its mojo and The Good Dinosaur shows they don’t have a consistent plan to maintain another good streak. When I saw the trailer for Finding Dory which appears next Summer, I have serious doubts they won’t be releasing … Continue reading
My Little Pony cake 2015 edition
This year has been a bit slow for Somara’s cakes. It hasn’t been a lack of demand, more along the lines of time with her current work. She did manage to squeeze this one through at the last minute for … Continue reading
Happy 75th Birthday to Bugs Bunny
A landmark birthday for a signature cartoon character. I regret not having anything bigger for him but I think the first fly-by of Pluto and more urgent matters in my life give me a pass. The Time-Warner Empire on the … Continue reading
Inside Out: Must See
Pixar has finally regained its mojo! After five years and two disappointments Pixar returned to its roots, namely by making a movie they wanted to see and telling the Wal-Mart crowd to suck it! As for Brave and Monsters U., if they were Dreamworks flicks, … Continue reading
Star Wars: Rebels proves Disney fare is not weak
June 20 was the Season Two premiere for Disney’s first outing with Star Wars as an animated show. The kickoff was decent but nothing terribly revealing other than Darth Vader appearing and giving the two low-end Jedi Knights a serious ass kicking. … Continue reading
