Wonder Woman pilot: Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince?

12 Apr

Wonder Woman live action actresses

Wow. It’s amazing the things one can uncover when one dredges the bottom of the Internet. We’ve mentioned live action Wonder Woman appearances before (Brooke Shields in college, Angie Bowie on drugs, Cathy Lee Crosby in a goofy jump suit, Lynda Carter in all her voluptuousness, and dozens of times at comic book conventions). So, here’s one we had never heard of before. It’s probably not obscure to the average Wonder Woman aficionado but to the casual browser, here’s a piece of the Amazon Princess’ history you also may not have been aware of before you stumbled on our illustrious blog.

Back in 1967, somebody got the bright idea that Wonder Woman might make a hot property for a TV series since the zany and campy Batman show had done quite well. So, Batman producer William Dozier picked up the rights to create a show around the femme héroïque and hired comedy writers Larry Siegel and Stan Hart to do the honors in scripting a pilot episode.

It’s a confusing mess. The pilot was titled Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince? which could have been more appropriately named Who the Hell is Diana Prince?. The title character is some self-possessed, man-needy, mother-oppressed annoyance that does not evoke at all what one might expect of the Mighty Amazon. Whereas the comedic turn of Batman in the silly TV series still portrayed the Man with the Cape and Pool Boy Partner as capable, dashing, and successful, Diana is portrayed as a awkward young woman that doesn’t even deserve a good spank.

The pilot was never aired. There are small things in life that sometimes give us a little pleasant surprise. This is not one of them.

Comics A-Go-Go! Blog

If you’ve been around the Comics A-Go-Go! site before, you’ll know we pride ourselves on our superb talent for laziness. Whenever possible, we cut corners on our posts to ensure we have as little time dedicated to real research as possible. OK, that’s partially a lie (hey, we do that a hell of a lot on our site too). If it’s something that grabs our interest, we’ll actually waste a ton of time reading up on the topic (although that effort doesn’t usually translate into something profound for you, oh dear reader). Case in point is the previous post on Samaritans. We didn’t know if the Samaritan ethno-religion even existed anymore. When we discovered it did, we tried to find out what was new and interesting about their culture. Apparently not much. Samaritanism is almost a dead sect. And, go find reading material and images about Samaritan women. We wasted over an hour trying to get details on females that practice the religion. Pretty much nada other than the thing we found out about the Ukraianian brides.

Scene from Network, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Now, now. No reason to get angry. Just breathe and accept Fate. Let it go, man. Let it go. [Note: What the hell?! "...daily savings!" It's supposed to say "Daylight savings!" Aw, phooey. We should probably change it. But it'll take a few minutes. And we just don't feel like it. Ah, the laziness sets in again, all snuggly-like. Mmmm.]

Jerry Falwell gives admonitionSooooo, anyway. We’re tired of writing and editing images all the time. We’ve had guest contributors before and we think it’s about time to solicit more. If any of you have any interest in providing content for a post, let us know by dropping a comment below. We don’t even care what it’s about so long as it isn’t completely immoral or useless.

We’ll post your contribution with credits (actual or anonymous depending on your preference) to you. We’d love for the post to be about comics, movies, music, or other pop culture items. We welcome news pieces. We don’t mind posting a rant or two. So, show us what you’ve got. And if we don’t like it, we’ll probably still post it with a disclaimer.

Time Magazine Gay Marriage Cover April 2013

Holy damn! Time magazine has jumped into the fray and has released variant covers of their April 8, 2013 issue on Gay Marriage. The folks at Image Comics should be impressed. Just wait until the Chromium Holographix Limited Edition cover with Alan Scott and Sam [what's his last name anyway?] is released next month.

Gay Superhero Alan Scott kisses Sam on the cover of Time Magazine

Exclusive! This is the extremely rare Time Magazine cover for April 8, 2013 that highlights gay marriage. Only one of these comics exist. Now, that’s rare.

We’ll start you off. Here’s an example from someone that commented a while ago.

Subject line: Glam Rock doesn’t suck. You do.

How can you say glam rock is no good. Glam rock ROCKS!!!!!!! Mott the Hoople New York Dolls Slade David Bowie Roxy Music and more more more!!!!!! [editorial comment: no mention of Gary Glitter]. These R bands that live 4ever!! You suck. You dont have good music taste’s.  Only people that [editorial comment: this is a PG-13 site, mostly, so we're going to edit this phrase and just say that the commenter indicated we should do certain things to ourselves and our mothers that we are pretty sure are illegal and painful] dont like GLAM rock!!!!!

OK, so we clearly touched a nerve. Well, what can we say? We don’t like the whole glam rock scene. But we respect the desire of others to dress up like drag queens and spew gallons of bombastic music upon those that enjoy that sort of thing.

Anyway, you get the idea.

The 2013 Academy Award Red Carpet: The A-List

6 Mar

OK, this isn’t a comprehensive list, but we pulled out pictures of red carpet celebrities for special attention whose attire we really liked.

Charlize Theron is sporting a short hair doo. The dress is OK, but we like stylish short hair on women and we like Charlize Theron.  Stunning isn’t she?

Charlize Theron - Academy Awards Red Carpet 2013

We usually hate big dresses, but Jennifer Lawrence makes it work. And we liked she laughed off the fall it caused her on her way up to collect the award.

Often, a dress that blends into the wearer’s natural skin tone can mute her appearance. We typically like colors that accentuate a woman’s look with contrast. However, Jessica Chastain surprises with the former with just the right touch of red and auburn.

Bradley Cooper is making us rethink the whole “we hate bow ties” thing. Here he is with Christopher Waltz.

Hugh Jackman: Yep.Thumbs up, as always. He’s accompanied by his wife Deborra-Lee Furness in an “his and hers” ensemble.

Corinne Bishop is Jaime Foxx’s daughter?! Really? He’s that old? Corinne’s gorgeous and so is her dress.

Corinne Bishop and Jaime Foxx on the red carpet at the 85th Academy Award Program

Wow. See, bow ties are sucking less and less. You are one dapper fellow, Chris Pine. Suggestion though, at least shave your neck next time. You are also one hirsute fellow. BTW, are double-breasted jackets back in? Why don’t we hear about these things?

Chris Pine on the red carpet at the 85th Academy Award Program

See, this is how you grow old. You stay beautiful and you wear elegance elegantly like Salma Hayek.

Here’s Zoe Saldana … Yeah. We liked it.

Nancy O’Dell  sports a fresh look in a flowing Sea World blue gown. It works perfectly on her figure.

Nancy O'Dell on the red carpet at the 85th Academy Award Program

We started to do a Worst Dressed List but we just don’t have the meanness in our hearts tonight. However, some things just need to be said.

Kristen Stewart: This girl needs a serious break from the cinema so she can get her act together. In both senses of the word. Was she hopped up on pain killers? Or is she always so bored?

Kristin Stewart on the red carpet at the 85th Academy Award Program

Anne Hathaway: We like Anne, but sadly, we usually don’t like what she wears. And nipple seams are tasteless. Thumbs down.

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton: These two are the last ones to think quirky goth chic has a place in style. Now that Harry Potter’s been put to bed, there’s really no point anymore.  Freshen up a bit for the kids’ sake, Hels and Burts.

And here are the ladies that are going to show up on sites that specialize in “Celebrity Nip Slips.”

The Top 10 Countries that Haven’t Visited Comics Go-Go! Yet

22 Feb

Depending on how you count “countries,” our website has been visited by 155 to 171. Not bad, but that leaves us with between 40-80 laggers. Here are the ones that we’re most disappointed have not stopped in. Shame on you (assuming you’re reading this for crying out loud).

Flag Country How we feel about it…
Flag of Andora Andorra OK, this one is iffy. We recognize that we haven’t written anything specifically about Andorra, so we’re sorry about that, but c’mon. There are 85,000 of you. Someone needs to step up.
Flag of Burkina Faso Burkina Faso Just because we like your country’s name, we’re calling you out.
Flag of Cuba Cuba Really? Still with the oppression thing? Isn’t Fidel loosening the grip yet? And, we thought Raúl was a reformist, sort of.
Flag of Djibouti Djibouti Again, another name we like. We have a post in the works titled: “Big Booties from Djibouti.” We expect a flood of activity after that.
Flag of the Falkland Islands Falkland Islands Oh, this one is unexcusable.
Flag of Greenland Greenland Yeah, didn’t expect much here. Thanks for nothing Greenland.
Flag of North Korea North Korea Oh, now it’s personal. We have written post after post about your hell hole of a country and we haven’t even gotten so much as a finger wag from the Chosŏn’gŭl. What-the-hell. Fine, we’ll up the ante. Expect some viscious attacks in the near future. Not against the people, though.  Of course, we’re going to do what we can to protect the down-trodden citizens of your bizarre little fiefdom, Kim Jong-un (and cronies).
Flag of Seychelles Seychelles With tears in our eyes, we sadly admit that the reason we have not gotten any visitors from Seychelles is because we have not paid our property taxes yet. Fortunately, the government lackies haven’t boated out to Bird Island yet to cut off our satellite uplink. It terrifies us that soon enough, though, Comics A-Go-Go! may go into haitus if we are not able to acquire funds to come current. So, won’t you donate to our cause and keep the 3,247,380th best website alive and bringing you the sauce? You can submit your donations through Paypal to user: “ComicsAGoGoIsBeingASmartAssAgain.”
Flag of Uzbekistan Uzbekistan This one really pisses us off. We wrote a post about Kantubek and it wasn’t even disparaging. Yes, of course we lied about the 900 hits from Yuri Grabianko. Half our posts are lies, but that’s no excuse. Step up, dammit.
Flag of Vatican City Vatican City This is curious. In a recent survey, 72% of Catholic priests polled indicated they read at least one Comics A-Go-Go! Post a month. So, what? Cardinals are elitist. That’s what. They choose to read from our competitor’s blog (Comics Go Pro) instead, we’re sure. That’s fine. They are old school, bland, and witless.

The Divorcer – splitting up famous people, starting with Tom Cruise

17 Feb

We were scouring Google Images looking for who-knows-what for a future post (hey, we sometimes run out of ideas), and stumbled on a picture of some famous couple divorcing. That made us think of a gimmick. So, we’re going to grab a bunch of pictures of legitimate split-ups and then make up a few of our own. We shall call our stupid joke “The Divorcer.”  Here are several examples at the expense of one of our favorite punching bags – Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise divorced Mimi Rogers in 1990

The Divorcer Strikes!

Tom Cruise divorced Nicole Kidman in 2001

The Divorcer Strikes Again!

Tom Cruise divorced Katie in 2012

The Divorcer is almost getting embarrassed  for you now, Tom.

As you know, Tom has been divorced three times, but betcha didn’t know about his cohabitational arrangement with Val Kilmer back in the 1980s. Yeah, seems that they got it on during the filming of the movie Top Gun and then shacked up for several weeks until Val found out Tom was seeing Mimi Rogers. The break-up did not go well. Oddly, they both sparred over Zac Efron’s affections in 2005. Val had kept an eye on young Zac and as soon as he turned 18, bam!, Val was there with flowers. As it turned out, Zac wasn’t into older men. Val licked his wounds and gained a ton of weight and Tom swung back to the breeder track eventually marrying Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise dated Val Kilmer

Sometimes we wonder what’s wrong with us.

Zac Efron nude on beach

We really don’t know much about our demographic since we’re too cheap to pay for a them that includes those types of analytics, so we aren’t sure if this is working it for you or not. However, given the popularity of our Boobs posts, we’re guessing not. Well, for the remaining 13% of you, enjoy or something.

Mel Gibson is a Grade A asshole.

And our final split up for the day: Mel “Ragin’ Mad” Gibson and Robyn Moore. We don’t know Ms. Moore, but on paper, it appears she was dumped into a dung heap by Mel and then covered with used cat litter. We were indifferent towards Mel as an actor before all of the bat-shitedness of his antics over the last few year came to light, but now we don’t much care for him at all. Incidentally, the joke on the picture about Robyn going to hell isn’t a joke. Mel really does believe she will and was even convinced of it while they were still married.

If we have any readers that are members of the Opus Dei, nice try. We don’t care what your spokespeople say, we know Mel is a member of your secret society. Actually, that wasn’t very nice of us. We know a couple of Opus Deirs and they’re zealous but not loony, as far as we know anyway.

Comic-Con Madness! (10:46am)

16 Feb

Comic-Con International

Well, shut our collective mouths and fry up the giblets! Justin over at 365daysoffilm.com just saved our bacon again. He was able to get in and score four-day passes for the remaining crew. We all got into Comic-Con 2013! Shee-yite!

We haven’t looked at this year’s agenda very closely but we’re looking forward to focusing more on old school comic books for a change. Most of our recent activities have surrounded movies and TV.  Jeff Smith has been announced as a special guest so we’re hoping to hear more about RASL and other upcoming projects. We’re also hoping he’ll get a haircut. And we’ll try to give the Masquerade a shot since some of us have never been. Other than that … we’ll wait for the program schedule.

Having said what we did about comics, we are looking forward to details about 300, Red 2 (we’re really hoping this one is good as the first one), Elysium, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Oldboy, Ender’s Game, Thor: The Dark World, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, Jack Ryan … wow! 2013 has got some legs. And we haven’t even included movies like Robocop, Hobbit, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avatar 2 (maybe premature but maybe at least teaser info … by the way, we wouldn’t mind seeing Avatar strictly as a naturalist’s “documentary” of the moon of Pandora), and James Bond 24 (still to be named, but Craig and Fiennes will be back of course, and we just found out Sam Mendes has re-upped).

For the fun of it, here’s the trailer to Red 2, starring Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and of course others.

This roller coaster, nail biter wears a person out. Time for a collective nap. Besides, it’s Saturday so there’s no particular place to go.

What if the Sun were blue?

12 Feb

English DictionaryThe English language is a wonderful thing, baby. Seriously, we love it. It’s so rich and complex and random and such. We like it even better as it gets looser and warmer. We love the breadth, the depth, the weirdness, the sublime. It has what appear to be multiple words for exactly the same thing, but are not … or maybe they are, just in case you want some variety. The slight twist of a phrase, the placement of a verb, the brevity and the expansion of tale … mmm-mmm good.

Yes, other languages are packed with beautiful and powerful elements that set them apart too. But see, that’s where those languages lose their steam. Why? Because English loves everything good that any other language has to offer. Given time, a special word or phrase in another language will end up in he English lexicon. As writer James Nicholl puts it: “The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle [sic] their pockets for new vocabulary.” (from a Usenet post he wrote in 1990).

Yeah, but …

In spite of our love and fascination with the language, we’re still stumped all the time by conjugations, particularly the subjunctive. So, we wondered what the answer would be if the Sun was blue but ended up no closer to the truth when we wondered instead if the Sun were blue.

And on that note …

Fortunately, Grammar Girl has come to the rescue. We even read most of the article for a change. Here she explains when to use “was” vs. when to use “were.”

Tardigrades and Electron Microscopes

10 Feb

Water Bear
These images have been bopping around for a while, but we are just so fascinated every time we look at them. For those of you that didn’t know they existed until now, here are some particulars.

Tardigrade

The creatures are called Tardigrades. They are tiny animals that rarely get as big as a millimeter. They are outrageously durable, multi-cellular, and have a complex physical structure very similar to animals much larger than themselves. Tardigrades are fairly common and come in over 400 species. The claws on their eight legs look bear-like, so they are popularly called “water bears.”

Water Bears

Anyway, there are tons of articles about Tardigrades online, so we won’t bother delving any further. This video is a nice (and hectic) synopsis of what tardigrades are and provides some quick notes on what makes them so incredible.

All we want for Christmas is an electron microscpe. Will you put us on your wish list?

So this whole thing about looking into the microscopic universe is awesome. Since peering into microscopes in middle school science classes, we’ve been intrigued by the things too tiny for us to see with the naked eye. Somewhere along the science class experience we discovered images shot by electron microscopes. The thing that makes them so utterly cool is that they can create crystal clear pictures in a full three-dimensional format. And, they can also show things just about as small as an atom. Well, ain’t that a fine howdy-do? Here are some cool subparticle images. Welcome to the world of the weird.

It’s hard to believe that one of these little guys is going to marry that egg and their offspring will grow up to be an immature, entitled brat from Jersey Shore.

Real Life Robert Crumb Girl

29 Jan

Robert Crumb is an American institution, whether he likes it or not. He is a counter-culture weirdo who’s expertise in capturing the neurotic, fringe elements of society is genius. What mainstream members of society tend to sweep under, he elucidates.

And, he’s known for his girls. Big girls. Big Legs. Big butts. Shorts and skirts that barely cover them . So, it was kind of a laugh-out-loud moment when we saw this image of a woman standing at a Walmart check-out counter. The picture is from a Youtube video called “People of Walmart” by musician/humorist Jessica Frech.  Check out the video below. It’s a riot. We laughed until we cried. And then we cried a lot more.

Robert Crumb, comic artist

Cultural note for our non-American readers:

In our country, whether fair or not, Walmart is considered a bit of a blight. The upshot to having a Walmart in your area is that you and your fellow consumers generally get lower prices but the quality and functionality of the products is on the lower end. The corporation is a very aggressive business and is not popular with local businesses (obviously) because it crowds out competition.  The employee situation is a mixed bag.  Because wages are generally so low in retail (and that is also true for Walmart), the type of employee Walmart attracts is often one that cannot or will not invest in progressive career paths. The genius of Walmart is that it is a very systematically driven product delivery organization, so the employees needed to fill the dumbed-down positions don’t have to be the sharpest tools in the shed. Inexpensive labor, excellent (tyrannical) vendor negotiation policies, and a large client base that is made up of people similar to or are employees makes creates a magnet for the rough portions of our society or those of us that are budget-minded (cheap!)  and will to sell our dignity. Having been in many of your countries, I know you all have your own “Walmarts” and “People of Walmart.” That’s especially true in Russia, Spain, and Mexico. In Russia we call Walmart, “Karusel.” In Spain we call Walmart, “El Corte Inglés.” In Mexico, we call Walmart …, actually “Walmart.” Right? OK, now we’re just being incendiary.

Gérard Depardieu renounces wine: “I’m strictly a vodka drinker now.”

26 Jan

Vladimir Putin signed an Executive Order a couple of weeks ago to make Gérard Depardieu a citizen of the Russian Federation. The French breathed a sigh of collective relief, until they realized Gérard intended to keep dual citizenship.

At a public gathering to show support for the actor with the ever-increasing girth and Karl Malden nose,  Vlady stopped short of pronouncing Depardieu the greatest actor in history and instead settled for “Well, he’s very popular in Russian cinema. As you know, our national symbol is a bear so it makes sense to embrace this large, oafish, hairy man as one of our own.”

Anyway, immediately after the event, Depardieu signed a 3-film deal to star as Oleg in Asteriskin the Vyborgian.

The year is 1700 A.D. Vyborg is entirely occuped by the Swedes. Well, not entirely … one small village of indomitable Vyborgians still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Swedish soldiers who garrison the fortified camps of Nyenskans, Nyslott, and Köttbullar…

Gérard Depardieu and Vladimir Putin

The Russian version of the Great Northern War is a bit suspect, but the Asteriskin series is popular nonetheless.

Tsar Bomba Goes Nuclear or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Dr. Strangegloves

25 Jan

Tsar Bomb


In 1961, the Cold War was burning red hot with the Americans and Russians building arsenals of earth-shredding proportions.  Nuclear bomb testing was all the rage in the 1950s and 1960s, and the world had never seen such power controlled by humans before. It was a period of wet dreams for scientists and militarists and explosion fetishists.  Bomb after bomb exploded below ground, on the ground, in the atmosphere, in the ocean, on the moon (sure, why not) — yeah, about 750 in total. So it was that in the wonderful year 1961 of our Dread Lord, the Russians pulled their biggest penis out and showed the world who was boss.

Firecrackers

 

… bah. This post is going to take too much time to write if we’re going to do it right. So screw it. Here are some inane facts and fiction about the Tsar Bomba:

Hippie Feet

In the end, it’s always the hippies.

Tested Yield: 50 Mt. That’s big. Like really big. Like a lot bigger than the can we filled up with Black Cat firecrackers and lit off on our roof one day (which led to momentary deafness and some panic)

So what happened: oh, a couple of noticeable things like a shock wave travelling around the globe 3 times before it wasn’t perceptible anymore, and an 8.1 Richter rocker.

So what happened after the dust had settled: Americans and Russians shit their pants. And then they built more bombs. Over 60,000 bombs combined at their peak. Seriously. And they did it with milk money taken from school children.

How come there aren’t any more nuclear bomb tests: Sort of pointless now. Delivery systems are more meaningful. You just need to get the bomb to the general area and it will take care of those pesky civilians.

What does this have to do with Dr. Strange, the Mystic Black Magician of Marvel: Nothing other than we thought we were being clever when we made up the pictures and title for this post.

Marvel Comics Characters

Watch out! Doc Strange-Gloves is about to go nuclear!

Eh. We won’t hold it against you if you don’t really care for this post. Just watch the big boom.

Russian Nuclear Bomb

The austere imagery is nightmarish and the sound of this explosion will scare the hair off your balls. Put on your headphones and crank up the volume. Refresh if you get no sound.

Amercans love studing! Are educaton is best in the wolrd!

Song of the South Disney Movie

Confederate American Flag

Long Live the King.

U.S. students may be falling behind academically compared to their peers in other countries, but no one will ever touch our awesome funniness. Think about it. Besides Jackie Chan, did you ever meet someone hilarious from China? Indians are funny, but not on purpose. Packistanis are terrifying. The Japanese are just flat out weird. Koreans have got other issues to worry about. Filipinos can be funny on occasion, but a lot of their humor is cancelled out by their obsession with ladyboys. The Myanmarians (dammit, they want to be Burmese again) aren’t allowed to laugh. The Vietnamese love us long time but resent it. The Cambodians don’t have much to laugh about. The Thais smile all the time, but are too reserved to get into it.

Protest signs

Oh, those college students are such meddling rascals! How are the Tea Party teabaggers supposed to have anyone take them seriously if liberal students don’t behave? Although, hmm. These signs have a point… So, man the battle-stations, we’re heading West to meet the East in a war of the wits!

WE LOVE POP QUIZZES. Here’s one to test your prediction prowess.

In the future:

1) Texas will become an independent Republic permanently.

2) The South shall rise again but will quickly complain of back pain and sit back down.

3) America will grow a pair and take over Canada to get at its oil.

4) The Constitution will be required reading and will be debated (as it should be) in high school until middle class, middle Americans deem it unnatural and ungodly.

5) Rednecks will slowly realize they have been duped by the “haves.”

6) Comics A-Go-Go! will become the #1 website in France, which will prove that the French aren’t entirely classless.

Correct answers:
1) No; The United States will sell Texas to Mexico
2) Yes; Obesity is a bitch
3) No; the invasion will start, but as soon as winter sets in, that will be the end of that. Brr.
4) Yes; it’s like when mass was no longer held in Latin — have you seen how empty the pews are on Sunday?
5) No; delusion is a bitch.
6) Yes; but we won’t get recognition until we change our name to www.bandesdessineesagogo.com

How did you do?

6 correct answers: You listen to NPR!
4-5 correct answers: You listen to MSNBC!
2-3 correct answers: You listen to ESPN!
1 correct answer: You listen to FOX News!
0 correct answers: You are a Soccer Mom!
You didn’t take the test: You are an American male with a goatee!
You want to destroy Comics A-Go-Go!: You are Anonymous and you frighten us.

Besides the Asians, there are very few pockets of academic bright lights on other continents. On the other side of the world, the Brazilians are a festive bunch but their focus on education isn’t as strong as their focus on economic growth. Besides, they are too busy with beautiful beaches and babes’ buns to work on clever humor. So, back again to the Eastern Hemisphere — the Russians think they’re funny but everyone outside of Russia just gets depressed when they hear a Russian “joke.” Same goes for most of Eastern Europe (although the Poles are surprisingly funny in spite of the terrible “How many Polacks …” jokes). Even though Africans as a whole can be hilarious (so long as they aren’t slaughtering themselves or running 419 scams), there are no educational juggernauts on the subcontinent. Israelis are funny but only to themselves. No one in the Arab world has a sense of humor. The Finns, Dutch, English, Canadians, Australians, and bunches of other people of varying nationalities may have better educational systems but they aren’t a threat to the U.S. in the humor department (although, we will give it to the English (and maybe the Scots and Irish), that when they’re on, it’s actually pretty stellar).

Rick Perry, Homeschoolers

Wow. Just … just, wow.

So, yet again, Americans reign supreme. Suck it, the rest of you planetarians! So, when the Chinese and Indians run the world, they will still turn to the United States for our mind-numbing entertainment. We will hurry up and finish our shifts at Walmart and McDonald’s to run home and share the frivolity with them.

Boy, the sarcasm of this post has actually made us quite sad. Yes, Americans actually can be very funny, but, speaking for our fellow countrymen, we would trade a bunch of our best jokes for a community that relishes education like so many other appreciative hominids in other lands.

So, before we get too depressed, let’s take a couple of minutes with some American humor that is at least clever. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!

Humor

And, here’s one for the road. Sarah Palin may have been the hottest VP candidate in history. Who the hell cares that she’s empty-headed and dangerous? She gets a ton of credit with Comics A-Go-Go! for showing up at her graduation naked.

Brooke Shields also played Wonder Woman?!

23 Jan

Wonder Woman, DC Comcis

Robot 6 Comic Book ResourcesRobot 6 reports that someone dug up pictures and details from a theatrical event that starred Brooke Shields as Wonder Woman. During the 1980s, Brooke participated in theater during her studies at Princeton and in this particular venue she starred as the Amazon princess in a play called “Star Spangled Banter” (given the title, we assume it was most likely a comedy). We have no idea what it was all about but we were amused and impressed by Ms. Shields’ convincing look as Our Lady of the Lasso. So, why not? Better than heroin waif Angie Bowie, says we. And Brooke almost looks physical enough that we believe she could climb a set of stairs without breaking a heel.

Brooke Shields

Lo! Yonder cometh he who is called John Byrne. We must, we WILL protect you, sweet princess, from Lord Byrne and the minions that serve him. Quick! Repair to the deepest jungles of Amazonia! We shall await the coming of the one called Hughes.

So, yeah.  Here are some images of Ms. Shields chewing the scenery.

Brooke Shields, actress

As for Brooke’s tenuous relationship with Tom “I’m not nuts or gay, I’m just misunderstood” Cruise Mapother, it appears that they have settled their differences and made up. OK, fine. That’s really old news, but here’s a somewhat recent photo of the couple hamming it up on the red carpet. Meanwhile, on the other side of the press crush is Katie Holmes with Mimi Rogers. We’re hearing some juicy rumors percolating about Nicole Kidman throwing in with the other two for a show tentatively titled “My Three Ex-Wives.”  Should be interesting. Showtime is purportedly picking up the pilot.

Brooke Sheild, Tom Cruise

We’re starting to wonder if there isn’t any female celebrity that at one time or another didn’t don the Stars and Eagle. For example, Kim Kardashian showed up to a Halloween party dressed as the Amazonian heir. Curiously, she wore black tights under her outfit. Must have been cold. At any rate, to show our appreciation, we present Kim’s ass-et.

Kim Kardashian, Wonder Woman Cosplay

And just for fun, this cosplayer got into the spirit by showing her support for the Walking Dead-Wonder Woman crossover. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the special TV event will take place. On a bright note, though, rumor has it Zombieland will be converted into an going TV series. We can hope, can’t we?

The original Batmobile sells for $4.2 million dollars!

20 Jan

Batman TV show logo 1966

Holy samolies, Batfans! After sitting in private hands for over 45 years, the original Batmobile from the iconic and campy 1960s TV show sold at auction last Saturday. The Batmobile’s creator, George Barris, has kept it in his private collection all along, but at 87 years of age he felt it was time to pass the baton to someone that would cherish it as well.

Batman and Robin running to the Batmobile

The original Batmobile was based on a concept platform of a car called the Futura which was developed in Italy for the Ford Motor Company. After all of the customizations, the car cost a whopping $250,000 (the equivalent of about US$2 million today).  With fees, the private collector from Phoenix Arizona paid US$4.6 million. It’s still a functional car so it would be interesting to see how it would perform today in a race with one of the Tumblers. We doubt that will happen, but it would be cool.

Batmobile 1966 Number 1

Batmobile, George Barris

In case you missed our original post from last year, here are pictures of the Batmobiles from the Warner Bros. Extra Stage event at San Diego last July. All of the Batmobiles were on display including the 1966 Number 1.

Batmobile, George Barris

Barak Obama in Batmobile

As an avid comic book fan, there was no way President Obama could pass up the opportunity to visit the Warner Bros. Extra Stage to check out all of the Batmobiles on display including Number 1 Batmobile from the 1966 TV show. George Barris gave him a chance to sit in the iconic car.

Strange search terms

19 Jan

Pie Chart

We love statistics. Mining data and looking at charts gets us all hot and bothered.  So, we frequently peak at our WordPress stats to see what’s going on. One of the categories that’s interesting to us is the Search Engine Terms listings because we get to see what you’re looking for to get to our blog. Just for fun, here are some of the weirder search terms that ended up as clicks to our website.

“male comic book hairstyles”

We have no idea what would have linked our site with this search term. So, here’s a picture for Google and the like to show for future search results. 

Superman is beautiful

Who’s prettier than Superman? His boyish mop and kinky “S” makes him the cat’s meow.

“kid creole and the coconuts armpits”

This one was easy. We created a post about Kid Creole and included a link to a Youtube video of one of our favorite Kid songs. We noted in our post that the Coconuts were sporting underarm hair. Why would somebody search for this, though? Fetishes are sometimes unexplainable , we suppose. Here’s the inspiration.

Kid Creole and the Coconuts

The funny thing is, she is very particular about having smooth legs.

“sarah palin adult comics”

We can’t tell if Antarctic Press slapped a “For Mature Audiences” tag on the cover somewhere, but this is adult enough, we suppose.

Sarah Palin

Now go check Sarah out in a little cosplay action.

“kiim il sung eyebrows”

The misspelling is actually the searcher’s. Anyway, is there something special about Kim Il-Sung’s eyebrows? We’re not sure there was before, but there is now. Our image portraying the various possibilities with a dictator’s facial hair is sure to be well studied in political science classes. For us, it isn’t his eyebrows that are of particular interest, though. Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-un demonstrate that batshitness has something to do with hair.

Kim Il-Sung eyebrows

In making this image, a vision came to us of Potato Head, Korean style. If we weren’t so lazy, we’d make interchangeable lips too.

Sylvester Stallone Plastic Surgery

The whole eyebrow thing made us think about Sly’s plastic surgery results. At least he can see again.

“big growing muscles comics”

This terrible 1990′s offense to the senses is brought to you by none other than the Grand Lord of Bombastic Hackery, Rob Liefeld. There are so many things wrong with this picture. “Big growing muscles” is just one of them.

Rob Liefeld, Shatterstar

Rob Liefeld is the Lance Armstrong of comics. Here’s another crime against humanity. Be aware that it contains partial nudity.

“tintin and haddock in love”

Ah, amor. In Europe, the age of consent is 12, so this would be a legitimate pairing. And why not? Hergé was already a racist and anti-animalist.

Tintin and Captain Haddock

“Billions of blistering blue barnacles, Tintin. You shouldn’t have. This is the most beautiful ode to sailor-journalist love I have ever read.”
“Really? You like it? Please tell me again that you do.”

“fat guy and the hot chick powergirl”

Why is it that the hot chick always ends up with the nasty old dude in Hollywoodland and in French films starring Gérard Depardieu? Yuck. Incidentally, Gérard is France’s Nick Nolte, n’est-ce pas?

Karen Starr, Power Girl

We love Power Girl. Not just because of her ample frontage property, but because she gives us a lot of great stats.

“inside out babies”

The only safe thing we could think of that relates to this freakish search term was a shot of Maggie from a Simpson’s Halloween special. The story goes that a noxious gas turns the family members’ bodies inside out.

Maggie Simpson

Ew.


guy who draws large boobs on comic book characters

Jack Kirby

We’re getting tired of thinking up new quips and pics of the boob thing (as well as humorous dialogue), so we’re supplanting the word with “boots.” Completely different results, wouldn’t you say?

“toon girl with honey in the pussy”

Not surprisingly, a lot of the search terms are sexual in nature and a huge amount are a variation on the theme of “boobs.” Most of them are directed to a tongue-in-cheek post we did called Biggest Boobs in Comics. But some are just unexplainable. Here’s the best we could come up with for “toon girl with honey in the pussy.” 

Weird search terms

We’ll spare you the rectal thermometer scene.

100,000 page views later …

19 Jan

Page ViewsWell, here we are. Sixteen months after launching an insipid little blog for no other reason than to have something to do with our playtime, we have created more than 300 posts and over 2,600 images. We also just crossed a couple of milestones. Comics A-Go-Go! has been viewed by the mildly curious in 150 counties (thank you Laos for pushing us over the top).  Depending on how one interprets the definition of countries and country-ish entities, that still leaves 50-75 that need to get on board (yeah, we’re looking at you Seychelles… we even claimed you as our current address in one of our posts – geez, some gratitude).

100 Grand Candy BarThe big number, though, is the 100,000 page view mark.  We had no aspirations of getting more than a couple hundred visitors a month, but in the last three months, we are getting more than 250-300 unique visitors and about 400 pages daily. And that number jumped a bit more this month. So, thanks! Come back often. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies — we don’t care!

Just out of curiosity, we wondered what most of the types of people are that visit our site. So, we looked at our most popular posts and this is what we deduced:

Based on our least popular posts, we figured this out about our visitors:

  • You are not big fans of Kim Kardashian (this surprised us, but we assume that you are seriously mistaken in thinking this website is high-brow or that the search engines may not be giving us enough credit for this awesome post)
  • You think Asterix and the Banquet is mediocre (yes, that)
  • You are not vampire lovers

Ronald McDonald

So, help us celebrate. Print off copies of this US$100,000 bill, order yourself a Big Mac at McDonald’s, and when you give them the “money” ask for your change back in quantities of (3) $20 bills, (18) $10 bills, (7) $5 bills, and the rest in $2 bills. And then give the manager a hug. She’s having a rough day because her fry cook quit, no one understands the drive-through attendant, and some kid just threw up in all over the plastic utensils, straws, and napkins.

$100,000 United States money

Ever wondered what it feels like to be buried up to your neck in the desert next to an ant hill with honey poured on your head?
Find out!
Print the image above (be sure to print the bill with the front and back like real money). Call up your local dealer, tell him you want to buy $100,000 worth of meth, but you won’t deal with him because he’s small fry, and tell him you want to get it from his boss instead. When you get to the meet, give him the $100,000 fake bill and tell him to suck it. Voilà! Desert. Head. Honey. Ants. Ouch.

We’ve celebrated other milestones, too. Take a look at our 10,000 page views post, our 25,000 page views post, and our 50,000 page views post.

Comics A-Go-Go! is 300 posts old!

14 Jan

Comics A-Go-Go! blog

We were going to wait until our page view count hit 100,000 but that may not happen for a couple of weeks, so we’re going to have to do without the double milestone. Shame.

So, here we are. 300 posts. We don’t even want to contemplate how much time all that research, image prep, and post writing took us over the last year-ish. We’re not talking average-American-housewife-on-Facebook time, but it’s still significant nonetheless. What’s the point of it all? We aren’t sure but it’s been a hell of a lot of fun and some of you seem to be enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by. Come back often.
