A COMPLETE BAT-WASTE

2007-04-01T19:59:00.000-04:00

But what's he really trying to say? Do you know?

***YOUR ENTRIES***

Dave knows many things. He is an expert at drunken marksmanship. Ask and he will tell you tales of forbidden superhuman man-love. But of Batdoku, the deadliest game of all, he refuses to speak.

Dave's NRA memberhip expires next week.

Sleestak ate Scott McCloud and absorbed his powers.

Uh-uh!

MARSHALL ROGERS 1950 - 2007

2007-03-26T18:52:00.000-04:00

This is one of my favorite comic book panels. Rogers was one of the few artists to ever make the Joker truly scary. I spent a few fondly remembered years of my childhood sleeping under sheets that bore this guys work. One of the last things I'd see every night before going to bed was this face staring up at me.

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS

When he's not busy getting Fred Schneider's voice stuck in my head, Sleestak enjoys an unhealthy obsession with Hayley Mills and strange comic books. Head on over to Lady, That's My Skull and pay his green, scaly hide a visit.

Steven told me that if you read CIVIL WAR-FRONTLINE while listening to The Dark Side of the Moon "it'll , like, totally blow your mind and stuff." You can join him for munchies at The Roar of Comics.

His personal vendetta against Silver Age inkers aside, Bully's the nicest borough-dwelling stuffed bovine you'll probably ever meet. You can currently read about his fantastic Christmas adventure over at Comics Oughta Be Fun.

He's got flavor and all those things, but Sinro doesn't meme for the sake of meming. Go and ride the Sinro wave. In any year on any given day he can be found at A Bitter View.

Captain America's little known stint as a failed Borscht Belt comedian can be read about in Mark's new book "Working Red, White and Blue." You can find all sorts of extras, like rare interviews with Jackie Mason and Milton Berle at Bad Librarianship.

Take the "Marvel Comics Art of Wally Wood" Meme Challenge!!

2006-11-09T18:07:00.000-05:00

Here's one to get you started.

YOUR ENTRIES

Mark's Bad Librarianship has cost him many a job, so he's decided to try his hand at something new. Turns out designing the interiors of fortress strongholds for power-mad European dictators is quite the budding niche market. We at Random Panels wish him the best of luck.

When Bully isn't meting out arbitrary vengeance upon rodeo clowns, he splits his time between pondering incomprehensible diagrammatic funnybooks and trying to convince the general public that Comics Oughta Be Fun. We just wish he'd stop staring at us while he smiles and sharpens his horns.

SinRo has a Bitter View when it comes to most of humanity. But that still doesn't explain his irrational hatred of sword-wielding barbarians in particular. He's a pretty fashion conscious dude, so we think it might just be his way of critiquing the whole loincloth and fur cape look.

The mighty Fortress Keeper goes through teen sidekicks at a rate comparable only to Batman. He's been cleared of charges in each and every case, so we feel it's not our place to judge. We'll just keep sending those payments to the Fortress of Fortitude and pray he doesn't break our legs for testifying against him that one time.

Dorian will buy anything as long as it's ceramic and it'll fit in his front yard. Seriously. The dude has a lawn-gnome collection you wouldn't believe. Every now and again he'll share some of his more interesting his shopping experiences with the general public. Head on over to PostmodernBarney and check it out for yourself.

When Jonni's High Velocity Super Disco burned down back in the 70's, no one was really sure if it was an accident or not. Most blamed the mafia, others the Irish. Some say it all started when a French Canadian busboy named Roland started a greasefire in the kitchen that got out of control. The only thing we know for sure is that there haven't been nearly as many reported cases of death by alcohol poisoning since that place closed.

Since Oz went off the air, there's been a dearth of good shower room intimidation scenes. Of the comic variety, I can only think of two. The one during Brian Azzarello's Hellblazer run and this one, which I find to be simultaneously creepy and hilarious.

If you haven't done so already, head on over to Mike Wieringo's site and catch up on all the apey goodness. This guy's well on his way to replacing Art Adams as the premier artist in the "super heroes as gorillas" genre. Why DC hasn't given the man an Angel & the Ape mini or at least a Grodd vs. the JLA one-shot is beyond me. I'm not normally one to ask for sketches, but if I ever meet the dude at a convention I'll pay good money for a drawing of Galapetus- Devourer of Giant Bananas.

After reading Black Hole by Charles Burns, I found myself wanting a companion piece. You know, a small book made to look like a high school yearbook filled with deformed, mutant teenagers smiling back at the me. I'll probably never see anything like that, but here's a little sample of what it might look like.

And for the hell of it I've included pictures of all the other hideous high schoolers included in that volume for you guys to play around with. Write some entries for these poor kids and let's assemble us a yearbook. It's for a good cause.

Are you like me? Do you often yearn to see the Norse god of thunder hit a giant, water- dwelling horse on the noggin with his mystical Uru hammer?

Ahhh..... Now isn't that better?
