Sneak Peek of the Week of June 19th, 2011

19 Jun

June 19, 2011

With Green Lantern opening this weekend Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride welcomes back Critic’s Corner and features the superhero art of Michael Mongello! You’ve seen his Superman, (and click here if you’ve missed it), so you must be here to see his entire Justice League!

We’ll also shudder in disgust at The Adult Baby, ponder if Brits really do have bad teeth or if people with bad teeth simply speak like Brits, read what may be the world’s worst knock knock joke, and I reminisce about the time my car was towed away. All this, a jaunt back across the pond for a second helping of  Saturday Comics from England, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

For all I know some penny-saver in some hick town gets this strip. They run from faithful to the original cartoon to social commentary. Behold!

Did you catch that? They got Yabba Dabba Doo wrong! They forgot the “y”!


And this wasn’t the only Hanna Barbera ‘toon to get stripped:
