And To Think That I Hulked Out On Mulberry Street

I love looking back into an artists work and seeing what else they have done and doing that with cartoonist and illustrator Ryan Dunlavey is a treasure trove. These are four Dr. Seuss-inspired superhero books that I am well familiar with.

The Justice League Of The Ottoman Empire

Because who wasn't wondering what the Justice League would like depicted in the Ottoman style of classical art? Berk Senturk satisfies that curiosity.

An unknown artist repainted a Soviet monument in Sofia, Bulgaria as the Joker, Santa Claus, Superman, Ronald Mcdonald, Captain America and more, captioning it "Moving with the times." Below, the unaltered version. Now that's fine graffiti! (Stoyan Nenov/Reuters; link via Daily Mail)

The One Where The Friends Get Superpowers

Through a strange series of events the Central Perk crew took on the powers of the Super Friends to become the Super Whiners:

Matt Le Blanc as Superman - perfect choice, all brawn, very little brain.
Monica Geller as Green Lantern - I've no idea, really, why. Guess she had to be someone.
Chandler Bing as Batman - a nice choice as the most neurotic of the superheroes.
Phoebe Buffay as Aquaman - one talks to cats, the other to fish.
Rachel Green as Wonder Woman - this really should have been Monica's role, though the hair was a wonder.
Ross Geller as Robin - yep, they were both useless. (Link via Karl Heitmueller)

You know, I wanted to avoid posting about Charlie Sheen, I really did, but when his bat-shit insane rants moved into comics even I had to relent. What can I do? It's funny stuff.

Of course the reason these rocks and minerals are so rare is because you have to break through the layer of adamantite to get to everything else. This almost makes me interested in geology. Almost.

Monkey Knife Fight Club

"If this is your first time at Monkey Knife Fight Club, you have to fight."

I love the idea that a bunch of bored superheros pit Blip and Gleek, two otherwise pointless monkeys, against each other. What else do they have to do all day anyway. What will be really scary is when thy move on to Project Mayhem.

Superman, The Flash... And The General?

“When Boss Hogg sets up a phony charity designed to funnel contributions from well-meaning citizens into his own pockets, Superman and the Flash are roped into holding a charity race across Hazzard County–without super-powers! But when Bo and Luke Duke, a couple of good ol’ boys who never mean no harm crash the race, can the two Fastest Men Alive outrun a souped-up Dodge Charger before it hits the county line?"

By Chris Sims and drawn by Rusty Shackles of Comics Alliance via my good friend John Farrier's fabulous new blog Neatogeek. The new blog is a spinoff of the already fabulous Neatorama and will be making a regular appearance here. This is also a goodbye to The Zeray Gazette, which cedes its time in the blogosphere to Neatogeek. Congrats John, the site looks amazing!

Late Night With Taiwanese Information Animations

動新聞 美國深夜脫口秀大風吹
Confused about the late-night battle and scheduling machinations of NBC, Jay and Conan? Then why not have a Taiwanese news channel explain it to you in animated form, with NBC CEO Jeff Zucker as Captain America, Jay Leno as Superman and Conan O'Brien as The Hulk? Makes perfect sense to me know. From the folks who brought you the Tiger Woods accident, via The Ampersand.
