The Nicolas Cage Adventure Set

Brandon Birds Nicolas Cage Adventure Set! The magic and wonder of one of the most dynamic figures of the 21st century comes home in this incredible playset. Peel and re-peel to create new scenes! The fate of Nicolas Cage is in your hands!

I could totally put together a script for Cage with this. It couldn't be any worse than Gone in Sixty Seconds. On a related note, I hope to see Brandon Bird and 200 other comic artists this weekend at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. It's going to be geektacular!

Must Be Santas, Must Be Santas

Who Watches Santa Claus?

Oh! You better watch out,
you better not cry,
you better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Rorschach is coming to town!

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Rorschach is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
he knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
so be good for goodness sake!







How Rorschach Stole Christmas
Rorschach hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his fedora wasn't screwed on quite right.
It could be, perhaps, that his trench was too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Popped Culture is brought to by your waking nightmares.

Away In A Monster Mash

While I'm told Jesus is the Reason for the Season, during the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas, we do things a little differently. Day Nine brings us a charming Nativity scene of the Virgin Bride as Mary, Frankenstein's monster as Joseph. They are surrounded by Dracula, the Wolfman and the Creature From the Black Lagoon as, I assume, the Three Wise Men. (I can't find the original on this, but the link is via Jesus Is Love)

Rudolph The Stuffed-Head Reindeer

One day the the mines went dry and Yukon Cornelius, now starving, came across his old friend Rudolph and things being the way they were... well a man's gotta eat. But in tribute he had him stuffed and a light placed in his nose to keep the light burning. The eighth day of the 12 Days of Popped Culture is brought to you by artist Mike Mitchell and my destruction of all my childhood memories.

O Christmas Tweet, O Christmas Tweet...

Your Christmas Tree is on Twitter and it is none too pleased about its fate. "Gah! I'm surrounded by ugly people in bathrobes. WTF?" Santa is also on Twitter, but he's kinda drunk. You can follow me too, but I'm not nearly as loaded.

The sixth day of the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas has been brought to you by Maxim (via Agent M Loves Tacos), which no longer seems to be all about semi-naked chicks. Just mostly.

The Muppets: Ringing of the Bells
Dong Ding dong ding, dong bong. Day Five of the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas brings us a choral work by three of the Muppets most non-verbal characters, Animal, Beaker and the Swedish Chef. I must say, Animal is really becoming quite versatile.

Santa Cthulhu

Next up on the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas is Neill Cameron, who is drawing a Santa-a-Day in an Advent-Calendar-of-Awesomeness that will show you some of the strangest Santas you'll have ever seen. Like Santa Cthulhu here. I must admit that I've never understood the web's fascination with Cthulhu, but judging by how often I see it show up I'm the only person who has never read H.P. Lovecraft.

It's a literal video for Day 11 of the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas. I know the Hall & Oates version of Jingle Bell Rock was supposed to be cheesy, but only cheese has more cheese.

Time for the 12 Days of Popped Culture Christmas. And before anyone gets all liturgical on me, I know it relates to the 12 days after Christmas, but that's not how anyone thinks of it.

Anyway, this is Eclectic Method's remix of dozens of Christmas specials, which will either get you all nostalgic or give you a seizure.

And for those of you reading via RSS, Facebook or whathaveyou, come check out the site today — we've spent the weekend moving the furniture around.
