It’s like someone went crazy with a label maker and I love it.

How can you forget this gem??

People always act like the old Batman show being corny was a product of its time but you’re never going to get me to believe this wasn’t a deliberate artistic choice

Making these signs must have been as much fun as putting them into the script.

One of the greatest joys of my life was receiving a treasure trove of producer William Dozier’s memos and letters. The amount of intention, the delicate balancing act required for this kind of humour, he was so aware of it and the writers worked so hard to get it just right. The fact that they did it while also working at an absurd pace — the show debuted early, as a mid-season replacement, and was such a hit that they had to deliver season two for the September date that they were planning to deliver season one, AND they made a feature film between seasons, AND they ran twice a week in season two, a sixty episode season — is astonishing to me. They did so much so well in such a short period of time.

If Tina had been in The Craft everyone else in that movie would be dead O.O

This is what it feels like in D&D when your character gains 5 levels in what would realistically only be a month or two, while all the NPCs are locked at the level they were introduced at.

The Nuclear Man is back in Bendis’ Superman

Yes, it’s him :O

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace’s big bad, Nuclear Man, is getting a new chance at life thanks to Brian Michael Bendis. The DC exclusive writer announced that the character will make his in-continuity comic book debut in August 8’s Superman #2. Here’s Bendis’ announcement from the DC Comics’ Instagram:

So when they first announced I was taking over Superman, Nick Derington did a sketch of Nuclear Man from Superman 4: the Quest for Peace. people started challenging me to put him in my run. Challenge accepted!!! :) This is by Ivan Reis and you’ll find it in superman issue two - @brianmichaelbendis

[partialarc]

You have to applaud Brian Bendis, because that dude never leaves anything on the table.

FINAL DESIGN

After 2 weeks I’ve finally finalized my new dnd character! She is loosely based of the yellow-billed kingfisher bird, her last name also being an omage to the bird.

She is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to instruments, but loves her tambourine.

Her mother is actually just a demon who fell in love with her Tiefling father and the idea of having many children.

Wondermark has literally spent the last six weeks doing nothing but comics revolving around increasingly bizarre wordplay upon the phrase “check out my sick elephant”, and I think it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

(The first comic in the… arc, I suppose you’d call it?… is here, for those who wish to experience them in the intended order.)

[prokopetz]

For the benefit of the morbidly curious, the Sick Elephant arc concludes as of today. What began as a one-off gag became a three and half month saga exploring every conceivable permutation of an already-forced pun. The link to the first page is in the original post – and may God have mercy on your soul.

[lord-myk]

I kept up with it in semi-real time and it was quite a journey. The slow realization that every single comic had the same punchline, the morbid curiosity of seeing how each one was going to work into the format, and the psychotic amusement as he occasionally just layered them in there. I think there’s like twelve in the final comic, but that’s just a guess. There’s probably more than twelve variations of “Check out my sick elephant”. A lot more.

[davidmalki]

Twenty-one in the final comic. Someone counted them all, in the whole series, and they claim there’s sixty-three in total. (I believe them.)

The other thing no one’s pointed out yet is that in the first Chekhov strip, the dialogue is largely Chekhov short story titles strung together. I lost count myself (because so many of them are just single words, like “Art”) but I think there are forty-two in all.

I went back and added more after taking this screenshot, but it gives you an idea:

Shout out to Spider-Man PS4 for having one of the best fake social media feeds

[galacticjonah]

After MCM weekend I’ve been thinking a lot about where I am in life atm. So here’s just some thoughts about what D&D means to me < 3

My players are beautiful, magical creatures. 

I wouldn’t be where I am now without Critical Role and the work of a magical DM and an amazing party. The inspiration and joy is endless.
