The Theory Of Weird Alvolution!


"Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter,
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another."

Weird Al Yankovic was one of my earliest introductions to parody, a pivotal moment for me. Seems it may have been for Miranda Dressler as well, as evidenced by her piece for Gallery 1988's show Is This Thing On 2 - hosted by none other than Weird Al! And because it was in my head the moment I saw the suspenders, here's Amish Paradise.

Cream Of Mushroom Super


This is what I imagine Andy Warhol would paint, if he were into video games. And alive - I guess that would help too. (dann designs)

Street Fighter Vs. Lost


No wonder the Island let Nikki and Paolo die. This one is for my pal Nikki Stafford, who loved those two. (Nikki and Paolo take on the island by Alex Ryan.)

The Daleks Last Supper

I don't know my Dr. Who well enough to know the significance of the Dalek Christ figure, but I can guess which one gets exterminated! (The Last Supper of the Daleks by The Daily Dalek; H/T John Farrier)

The Instagram of Dorian Gray


Steve Murray updates some classic literature for a piece by National Post books editor Mark Medley. Is it wrong that I would read The Instagram of Dorian Gray? Well, I'd skim it at least.

Great Scott! Lots of Lloyds


Christopher Lloyd is all kinds of crazy but it is Judge Doom that still freaks me out. That final scene when his bugging out and his screeching is still stuck in my head. Nice work, Sam. (Lots of Lloyds by Sam Carter)

Why Am I Mr. Pink?


This is a poster for a live reading of Reservoir Dogs, hosted by director Jason Reitman. Sounds like an awesome show, and I love Matt Owen's interpretation of the movie poster. (Matt Owen via Gallery 1988)

The Avengers Breakfast Club


I'm pretty much a sucker for any characters in the Breakfast Club pose, even though Tony Stark would be a better John Bender, at least in terms of attitude. But I suppose he's Brain Johnson, as the brains. (From ninjaink)

Mo' Bunnies Mo' Problems


A more succinct title for Beatrix Potter's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies from Better Book Titles, a blog for "people who do not have thousands of hours to read book reviews or blurbs or first sentences. I will cut through all the cryptic crap, and give you the meat of the story in one condensed image."
