The Saturday Comics: Mutts Comic Cons 3

Every year one of my favorite comic strips, Mutts, pays homage to the San Diego Comic Con by turning its strip over to superheroes. Last week, I looked back at the last couple of years and now this week, the current run of Mutts comic cons. This series features Bip and Bop, a pair of acorn-loving squirrels. (And by “acorn-loving” I mean “they love to drop acorns on people’s heads.”) BTW- note the X-Men in their original costumes and Iron Man in a very early (and accurate) version of his armor.

I will never understand why they insist on standing under that tree.

Picture Postcard: The Jack-o-Lantern Avengers

18 Oct

October 17, 2012

I went to something called Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns in Old Westbury Gardens. This is an event in a pitch-black, lonely rural patch of woods where they play spooky music and sound effects and the path is lit only by the most amazing jack-o-lanterns. In particular, I wanted to share five amazing lanterns, carved in the images of The Avengers.

And now I’ll present a few more photos just to give you a taste of what it was like there. It was a half-mile of about 5,000 pumpkins, some in a large open area, many in a dark, tree-shrouded path.
