Maybe You Can Hire The M-Team
"In 1972, a crack vaudeville unit was sent to off Broadway by a theatre court for a joke they didn't tell. These Muppets promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the Tony Awards they survive as Muppets of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The M-Team." (The M-Team by Amy Mebberson; link via Comics Alliance)

Woody Allen's Toy Story
"Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all." I think watch Toy Story with a neurotic, whiny Woody could be funny, but kids would be so bored. (Woody Allen by ilovedoodle)

Gimme Two Homer Jay Dry Lagers And A Popeye Pilsner
In an early celebration of Father’s Day, EveryGuyed and Moxy Creative House have turned eight, iconic, cartoon dads into beers. I was kind of hoping Homer's beer would have been skittlebrau.

Where The Names Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Came From
So Master Splinter used an art history textbook to name the turtles. Makes sense. I wonder if they would have been the same as Pollack, Rothko, de Kooning and Gorky? (Baby Names by Pedro Delgado)

Go Ask Alice, When She's Ten Feet Tall
I was unfamiliar with the game American McGee's Alice until I saw some of the art from Gallery 1988's show. Above is a poster from Ken Wong, the art director for video game design house Spicy Horse. It's wonderfully twisted.

Muppets + Mythbusters = Muppet Busters
Seeing Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as Muppets makes me wish the Muppets were still on air as a weekly show. Looking back it was the Muppets and Sesame Street that introduced me to the concept of pop culture mashups and parody. (Muppet Busters by Dane Ault, via Comics Alliance)
