Mr. Men & Little Miss Game Of Thrones

Take Ned Stark, Joffrey, Arya, Littlefinger, Khal Drogo, Samwell Tarly and boil them down to their core characteristic and you have the Game of Thrones as Mr. Men and Little Miss books.

The tumblr mrandlittlemissgot.tumblr.com is drawing 30 of the GOT characters over the next few weeks. These are the first six - and I'd love to read Mr. Rageous.

Luke, I Am Your Never-ending Nostalgia

The hold Star Wars has on so many people (myself included) never ceases to amaze me. No matter what company owns the rights, what spinoffs they make, or what changes George Lucas insists on, the films are not theirs anymore. They are ours and always will be.

Max Dalton is a wonderful example of this with his "poster featuring (almost) every character of the first Star Wars trilogy in order of appearance." Of course, it's already sold out because I've been slacking on this blog. I'll try better.
