The Saturday Comics: Superman Gets Outed On CBS

2 Jun

June 2, 2012

DC has relaunched all their comics with new number one issues and revamps. That includes their biggest icon, Superman, who also got a pretty meh-looking new suit to boot.

But some things about Superman never change. He still comes from Krypton. He is still a reporter. He still wears glasses as a disguise. His biggest arch-enemy is still Allen Funt. His secret identity is still Clark Kent. He… why are you looking at me like that?

Lex Luthor? Superman’s biggest arch-enemy? Nah, Lex doesn’t even have his own TV show. Check this out:

Well I guess that about wraps it up for Superman. I googled it, the next issue featured a disgraced Clark Kent being rejected as a What’s My Line? contestant. Later issues found Superman getting insulted in a Johnny Carson monologue and Clark Kent getting pranked on Truth or Consequences.

Can’t really call either of those issues high-points in a superheroic career.

Picture Postcard: The Three Stooges in Have Rocket Will Travel

29 May

May 29, 2012

Whoever directed these guys, and whoever designed that rocket, and whoever colored this still, knew what they were doing.

I think that picture speaks for itself, don’t you? It’s their first “full length” motion picture.

But in case it doesn’t, take a look at this close up of Larry’s face:

Yeah, I’d love to have been around during this photo shoot. I can only imagine what the director said to Larry to get that look. “Thrust harder Larry, thrust into Moe harder! Curley Joe, thrust harder into Larry!”
