What will you be doing to celebrate May the 4th?

Free Comic Book Day is coming up this Saturday, and I am celebrating by sharing some of my favorite comics this week!
Take a look at yesterday’s post on Night Zero.
Or Tuesday’s post on Demo.

Today, I take you into a magical world. That world being high school. Remember those really bitchy, popular girls that would try to take you down with their icy glares and advanced eye rolls? What if they had superpowers other than their blackmail on teachers and daddy’s credit card?

Then you get the girls of Spell Checkers.

This ain’t no Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The graphic novel reads like a wittier, current Mean Girls. And these girls are, indeed, mean. You’re rooting for the anti-hero, and you have a great time doing it.

But don’t worry boys, the writing and action is funny, fast paced, and cool enough to keep you hooked even if catty teenage girls aren’t your thing.

This book does have some swearing, smoking, and talk of sexual situations, so I wouldn’t recommend giving it to your lil sis. But anyone that is currently in or has ever been in high school will feel right at home.

You can buy it on Amazon or pick it up at your local comic store.

If you’re in the Portland area on Saturday, make sure you stop by Things From Another World on Sandy Blvd. from 4 to 7. Spell Checkers Author Jamie S. Rich and illustrator Joëlle Jones will be signing!

Where will I be on Free Comic Book Day? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I let you know when and where you can find me, as well as what books I’ll be excited to buy!

In case you are a complete idiot like me who greets people with a punch in the face instead of a high five, here is a lesson on high five etiquette and how to properly greet someone.

WARNING: Listen carefully to what he says. I misunderstood and threw a microwave at my Aunt Edna this morning, who definitely did NOT understand that I was just trying to give her a level 5 greeting!! I mean, SHEESH, talk about dramatic! I only see her once a year and I wanted to make it special; that’s why I did what I thought was the highest level of greetings! Apparently, I was wrong.

Meh.. I bet she’ll come around once she’s out of intensive care.

If you hate your friends and don’t want them to ever come over to your house again, hang up this scary shower curtain, turn off your lights and make fun of them after they piss themselves in your bathroom.

Because nothing makes me happier than making fun of guys that wear Ed Hardy, laugh at their own lame-ass jokes and think Madden 2010 is the pinnacle of gaming.

*Oh yea baybee.. I’m totally weak in the knees!*

[Thank you, Jostin, who upon seeing this video had to go and burn all of his brand new Ed Hardy t-shirts. Sorry buddy!]

So you’ve saved the Princess… now what?

Dan quickly finds out that life is much harder after saving the princess than it was actually trying to! Freakin adorable! :D

P.s. I would definitely play this if it were real.

I’m a big fan of fairy tales, legends, and mythology. Not frilly princessy pink stuff, but the dark stories passed down from generation. The stories that give people morals and show what social roles different people had at the time.

Even more so, I’m a fan of people who take these old fairy tales and legends and translate them into modern day stories. And Arthur’s Lore does an excellent job of this.

This short film is a modern day re-imagining of the legends of King Arthur. It’s funny, well done, and creative with the names of the characters and locations. It’s only about 15 minutes long and you can watch it here. (Click on Arthur’s Lore on the bottom right). The film does have some NSFWish elements, including violence, a girl in her underwear, and some sexual humor. You know, all the good stuff. You’ve been warned.

Do you have a favorite re-telling of a classic fairy tale, legend, or myth? Tell me about it in the comments!

What would happen if the rebellion tried to take over planet Endor? The Ewoks wouldn’t stand for it!! GRAB YOUR STICKS AND FIGHT BACK LITTLE ONES!
An alternate plot from Return Of The Jedi of Ewoks at war with the rebel alliance.

The awesome part about this video is that my brother made it in our living room inbetween his studies… *TEAR* I’M SO PROUD!

Ask anyone I’ve been around lately, and they’ll all tell you the same thing: I am way too freakin excited for “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter“. Universal Studios opens up their newest theme park on June 18th, and I hope to get there as close to then as possible so I can experience it all.

But until then, all I can do is re-read the books and re-watch the movies. But what happens when pre-teen wizard angst becomes too much for this muggle?

I put in Wizard People, Dear Reader.

“Wizard People, Dear Reader” is an audio track designed to play with the first Harry Potter film on mute. Brad Neely, of “Babycakes” and “Professor Brothers” fame, created this track in 2004. It’s narrated as an audio book of Harry Potter… if Harry Potter was written in a slightly different dimension. Harry’s a drunk, Hermione is sad and desperate, and Snape is a woman. It’s brilliant.

Don’t watch somewhere quiet, because you will be laughing out loud.

If you don’t want to download the audio track and rent the film, the individual chapters can be found on youtube. Take a look at Chapter 3, in which Harry begins his drunken fall into depression

I’m sure you’ve seen a “New York” parody or two by now, but this one takes the cake:

Who would have thought the stormtroopers could dance like that when they can barely run without falling down? (And I love Leia’s buns being rocked like headphones!)
