Indistinguishable From Magic: 5 Essential... →
dresdencodak:
Seeing as how I’ve done both the top ten for best and worst superhero costume redesigns, I feel obligated to put my money where my artistic mouth is and take a stab at fixing or updating some of these costumes.
The Starfire costume redesign is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping would come out of the New 52. I’m seeing very clear Smallville influences in Green Arrow,...

via boingboing.net One of the things I would love to have found while in Taiwan. My favorite part: “Bruce found a basement under his villa, in which the equipments turned him into another person: Spiderman.”

Teachers and principals erased and corrected mistakes on students’ answer sheets. Area superintendents silenced whistle-blowers and rewarded subordinates who met academic goals by any means possible. Superintendent Beverly Hall and her top aides ignored, buried, destroyed or altered complaints about misconduct, claimed ignorance of wrongdoing and accused naysayers of failing to believe in poor...

Asking the right questions about art
While having yet another online conversation about art and what it is, I was recently struck by an amazing revelation. My view of art, what it is, and how to look at it has changed, I think, and although this view may be unorthodox or even heretical to some, it makes the most sense of anything I’ve heard or read about art to this point in my life. Here it is: It doesn’t matter what...
Flash Fact: Gorillas live in Africa, and...
In the real world, there are gorillas, as well as other apes, that live in Africa. In the DC Comics Universe, there are super-intelligent gorillas with highly advanced technology that live in Africa. One of them, named Grodd, is evil, has the power to control minds, and is always wanting to take over anything he can. In the DC Comics summer event, Flashpoint, which is about an alternate...
Why I won’t be seeing the Book of Mormon musical -...
Reviews of “The Book of Mormon” musical have been all over the entertainment media in the past few weeks. According to the reviews, the play sketches the journey of two Mormon missionaries from their sheltered life in Salt Lake City to Uganda, where their training and life experience proves wholly inadequate to the realities of a continent plagued by poverty, AIDS, genital mutilation and other...

Obama vs. Osama and The Right vs. Cognitive...
So I’ve been trying to avoid all of the news about Osama’s death and such, mainly because I don’t care if photos are released, I don’t care about the burial at sea, and I don’t care about pundit speculation about any of it. Unfortunately, I can’t ignore Facebook. I also can’t ignore people on Facebook trying to resolve their cognitive dissonance in...
Out of Osama's Death, A Fake Quotation is Born
What’s fascinating is the speed of it. Someone made up a quote, attributed it to MLK jr, and disseminated it widely, all within 24 hours. Why? What do you get out of saying something pithy, and getting no credit for it?Perhaps they only wanted to say this thing, and knew that no one would pay attention unless it came from someone else. Or, perhaps they are getting a gargantuan kick out...

Bill Watterson does Cul de Sac
This painting — by “Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson — is the first new art from him that his syndicate has seen in the 16 subsequent years, say executives with Universal Uclick and its parent company, Andrews McMeel. The artwork is of the character Petey Otterloop from Richard Thompson’s comic strip “Cul de Sac.” via washingtonpost.com If I was Richard Thompson, I would be thrilled. ...

Organic food: The "organic" label gives food a...
Overall, shoppers consistently said the organic foods were tastier. They also estimated that the organic foods had more fiber, less fat and fewer calories. They even said they’d be willing to pay more for the “organic” snacks than the “regular” ones. Perhaps you see where this is going. In actual fact, all of the cookies, chips and yogurts were organic — indeed they were identical....

With all the comic book movies coming out this year, I’d almost forgotten that there are, what, three more next year? Wow. Cool stuff, though.
