Sneak Peek of the Week of March 25th, 2012

25 Mar

March 25, 2012

It may not be Festivus Season yet, but on Friday we’ll look at an Imponderable way of settling grudges.

Also this week we will continue my Cafe Metro saga with Part Two of What’s in a name? Plenty. I may have some explaining to do as after part one appeared I was personally contacted by their Director of Marketing and Social Media (who by the way is a pretty nice guy. He better be after part two.)

Sticking with food, we’ll examine a product with one of the worst names anyone could possibly come up with. If you saw it at your supermarket you’d have to think twice before purchasing.

Team Trump and the Apprentice, the Teutuls and American Chopper, and all of the usuals are along for the ride too.

All this, Saturday Comics, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

The Saturday Comics: The Presidency In The Comics

24 Mar

March 24, 2012

Last week’s post about the truly exciting and sales-busting (not) Lyndon B. Johnson comic led me to some other comics about the President or the Presidency.

First up is a pair of historical comics, one by General Motors (ironic, now that you look back on it) and one by, once again, Dell.

Next up, a rather serious JFK comic…

…followed by a not-so-serious comic featuring President Nixon.

Jackie Jokers? Never heard of him, obviously a ripoff of my very own creation:

My lawsuit has been rejected by several firms but I still have hope!

The first ladies have gotten into the act as well. This one is by Charlton Comics.

Is it just me or is there something off about her whole face? Too big eyes, strange nose, cruel mouth. And her daughter? Her eyes look very suspicious. what does she see?

DC also had its own fictionalized comic about the Presidency, called Prez, about the first teenage President. Constitutionality be damned!

And finally, could there be a better President than Superman?

Would you declare war on the US?
