With Sony about to launch the new InFamous 2 computer game, the fantasy superhero game for the Playstation 3, they decided on a bit of comics fun to go along with the launch. In InFamous the decisions players make all have consequences, be they good or ill and deciding that the people who know most [...]

The adventures of SuperM

Monday, April 11, 2011

This short Superman spoof from Arunas Eimulis is brief but funny and I love the deliberately awful vintage style, inspired, so it says, by the”Turkish trash movies of the 70s”, a fun way to start the working week: Super M adventures part I – Graffiti vandals from Arunas Eimulis on Vimeo.

Matilda and the wonder of books

Friday, March 11, 2011

Aaron Renier’s strip for the Unshelved site is an absolute delight for all of us who cherish the power of reading (especially for younger minds), the physically printed book and those remarkable palaces that are such an indicator of a truly civilised society, the public library. As ever more ill-considered budget cuts threaten our libraries [...]

Tintin in the Congo – in the raw!

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

1 Comment

Benjamin at French comics site BoDoi points us to this fun take of the (somewhat controversial these days for its period portrayal of Africans and colonial attitudes) Tintin in the Congo. Except this Tumblr offering is Tintin au Congo a Poil (basically Tintin in the Congo in the nude, or in the raw). Yes, folks, [...]

Beam me up, Hottie!

The skirts on the female crewmembers of the original Star Trek were famously short (even for the 60s) and we know Kirk seemed to have a new alien woman asking to be taught about this human thing called ‘love’ almost as often as he ripped his top in a fight, but this (mildly NSFW) Trek [...]

Who listens to the Soundmen?

Thursday, August 19, 2010

Comments Off

Tommie Kelley has posted up Soundmen, a cracking spoof drawing on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal Watchmen. Made me laugh out loud, although it is not advisable for anyone who has issues with big blue willies. (Soundmen art by and (c) Tommie Kelly, Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, published DC)

Beans: a Watchmen parody

Monday, May 24, 2010

Comments Off

From the same folks (Kohrs Films) who brought us the Iron Man parody Iron Chef comes this Watchmen send up of the scene where Rorschach breaks into Dan’s home and eats some beans while waiting for his former crime fighting partner to return. And yes, it has Rorschach actually saying “I’ve got a rumbly in [...]

I love this short spoof trailer for Iron Chef, affectionately taking the mickey out of the Iron Man movie trailer, but with added sprinkles: Iron Chef – Iron Man Trailer Parody from Kohrs Films on Vimeo.

Doctor Poo

Saturday, July 18, 2009

Comments Off

Viz, Britain’s great repository of delightfully vulgar, childish comics (bless ‘em) offers us up this cartoon riff on our favourite Time Lord with Doctor Poo. Crossing time and space desperately in search of a quiet loo where he can park his bum before the sanctity of his trousers are violated. Its crude (both the theme [...]
