It is happening again ... It is happening again ...
For your post election needs.
America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.
"When Groucho was asked for an explanation of the title, he quipped, 'Take two turkeys, one goose, four cabbages, but no duck, and mix them together. After one taste, you'll duck soup for the rest of your life.'"
Duck Soup (1933)
After escaping the Village, Number Six left the spy game behind and opened a mobile tea room and cabaret to mixed reactions on the A20 motorway.
I finally learned how to make GIFs, which is great because it allows me to eloquently illustrate my reaction to ads trying to convince me that Hot Pockets are gourmet food.
Admit it. Before you expanded the image, you read it as "Donald Duck Gets F-'d Up."
And then you did expand the image and saw the donkey before you read the title correctly and completely got the wrong idea.

"Let's see ... Zack Snyder already gave us a head start with dour, desaturated Superman ... we've got Ben Affleck to play barbiturate to our already dour, desaturated Batman ... dammit, there's still too much potential energy in this movie! We've got to dial it down, and fast!"

Whelp, the day can end now. This pretty much makes it.
"Yeah, I ... I forgot my mantra."
The proverbial Goldblum.

Happy anniversary Comics Curmudgeon!
(I always hear the Price Is Right theme whenever I see this panel.)
Two thoughts:
1. Superman is a dick.
2. How the heck does Jimmy Olsen walk on those not-stilts? He's going to get some swollen ankles from that.
Goddammit Jimmy, I had a plan!
I like where this is headed.

If you ever want to sample the KTMA episodes (aka Season Zero) of Mystery Science Theater 3000, "Phase IV" isn't a bad one to start with. The movie (the only feature directed by Saul Bass) is interesting enough to carry through the gaps in the mostly improvised riffing and slow enough so the jokes help when they hit.
The depiction of Dr. Wily here says less "megalomaniacal robot-building mad scientist" and more "Old World existentialist philosopher." I could go for that.
The lesser reviled but still bizarre European cover of Mega Man on the NES. Closer to the actual character, but still a lot of liberties taken. Massive size for this art too!

And then I found this.
I admire its purity.

Ian Holm, being a trooper.
If there's any prop from this movie I'd love to hear still exists, it would be the model of his head with that incredible smug grin after they unplug him.

I saw Chef today, a sci-fi movie about an alternate dimension in which a mildly acerbic restaurant review on AOL can go viral.
The worst part is that he's just going to find out he rewrote The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Mister Lobo doesn’t care if Godzilla is good or bad—you always love your family, even when they don’t meet your expectations or get on your nerves. Same goes for Star Wars.

There's a special cruelty involved when you include the "um's" in the subtitles.
This, um ... the sheer earnestness of this makes me kind of sad.
The Happiness Show Episode 32 - How Thoughts Determine Our Happiness
This film is heavily inspired by my time working in a 24/7 cafe last summer. Amongst the typical trials of graveyard restaurant life, I was dealing with some sticky home situations, the passing of my grandma, and some other events that really overwhelmed me. Upon returning to school, I wanted to make something really positive. There was this point where I realized that you’re never alone in pain, and knowing that other people are dealing with heavy things really helped me. It by no means solved my own issues, but there’s this sort of silent empathy that we can all take part in. -n
The following is an excerpt from ZZT, Anna Anthropy's upcoming book about Epic boss Tim Sweeney's classic game creation system.
I'm looking forward to this. I used to love ZZT, even on the old monochrome Toshiba T-1000 laptop I used to lug around as a kid.
As God is my witness, I will never tire of seeing Special Agent Dale Cooper being briefly inconvenienced by a llama.
Special Agent Dale Cooper meets a llama, and they stare into each others’ souls. (Twin Peaks, season 1, “The One-Armed Man”)
Ha ha, well what brilliant satiric artist created these ... [checks National Geographic source] OH MY GOD.
If anything else, this is proof that humanity hasn't changed that much over the eons. "Hey, these things go pretty fast. What if they were on fire?"
Feuerwerkbuchs
I hear Patrick Warburton as Lucifer. In the comic, I mean. "Beelzebub, you juicy idiot!" It's like Puddy greeting George.
And it should be someone like Chris Latta doing Cobra Commander as Beelzebub.

TUMBLR FRIENDS: Those last two pages might look icky cus I had to stitch them together for this update due to the 10 page limit. Just view the image by itself in a new tab and you will see it in its good glory. Or go to the main site and read it! whichever, the power is yours.

I said two more updates, but to hell with it, this is the rest of the GQ part 5 right now! ALL OF IT! That was the end of that part. Next time we visit GQ we will finish this story. UNTIL THEN, I’m going to take a break! Just for next week. Kool Off a bit, then come back with some jokes and one-offs the next week after that on the 28th. Just askin for a week! And don’t forget the good shit over at the store. Thank you!!
I love finding stuff like this on things I order even more when I run my finger over it, feel the indentations and realize it's original to the package.
