"Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. Come with me. It is the only way."

Well, they did say it happened a long time ago. (Star Warglyphics via dann matthews)

Kool-Aid Blood Sacrifice


What is it with kids, always revealing in the death of the Kool-Aid Man? But if a blood sacrifice must be made, at least it is tasty one. (Too Cool by Jeff Battocletti via Threadless)

This of course begs the question: Is Mario dead? Can a video game character eventually run out of lives? You would have thought so the way I play. This is available on a tee for just a few bucks, but only for a few more hours. (Original Gamer by dann matthews, via TeeFury)

Famous Mustaches


It's amazing how immediately recognizable these mustaches are. I'm also impressed with them seeing as I've never managed much more than a wispy thing. If you don't know who they all are:

Top: Albert Einstein, Rich Uncle Pennybags (Monopoly), Charlie Chaplin
Middle: Mario, Colonel Sanders, Yosemite Sam
Bottom: Hulk Hogan, Pringles Guy, Ron Jeremy

Toy Story 3: Inception


There's something about Toy Story that just inspires excellent mashups. Here is a link to the Inception trailer if you need a refresher or hadn't seen it, like me. (Link via Topless Robot)

Even with two episodes left I still hold out hope that Locke (or Smoke Locke) will be proven not to be evil. Of course that seems unlikely, but still...

No future for you
If you hold out any faith, there is Locke Honor by Marky of Glamour Kills. And I got to put Latin on my blog. Damn I'm cultured!

That 90's Show


Pop artist Glen Brogan's piece, As Days Go By, for a 90s themed art show for the Autumn Society. Wow, what a strange mix of pop culture: Jessica Rabbit, Earl from Dinosaurs, Space Ghost, Egon from Ghostbusters, Kermit from Muppet Babies, Hulk Hogan, Carl Winslow from Family Matters wearing Darkwing Duck PJs. No idea what is sitting on his butt or the TV, though I'm sure its obvious to others.

Lion King Last Supper


Wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh, wemoweh. In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion is betrayed tonight...

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted a Last Supper, so here is The Lion King Last Supper by super fan kati-kopa, who has helpfully provided a legend of who everyone is. I have no idea why she made them all cubs though. I also assume that Pumbaa is there, but he's what's for dinner.

From left to right: Tojo, Ni, Ahadi, Chumvi, Kovu, Tama, Simba, Taka, Kopa, Malka, Nuka, Mohatu and Mufasa. (Link via Last Suppers)

Lost: If It Weren't For Those Meddling Castaways...


I would love if Lost ended like this! To be honest, after this week's episode, its as likely as an explanation as anything that is going to come out of the writer's room.

Beast Of Pop Culture Revelation

"And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name..." Revelations 13:1
Pop artist Augie Pagan imagines what just such a pop culture beast would look like and the result is terrifying. From right to left:

1. Star Trek Gorn
2. Tuan-Taun from Empire Strikes Back
3. & 4. Dragon and Cyclops from The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
5. One of the Ghidora heads from Godzilla.
6. The Mugato from classic Trek series.
7. The Terror Dogs from Ghostbusters.

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!
