Prize’s Strange World Of Your Dreams was an interesting twist on the horror comic premise, as many of the stories were purportedly based upon dreams sent in by actual readers.

Now it turns out we also missed the birthdays of two all-time greats: Gene Colan and Walt Simonson. Well, today your forgetful host will remedy part of the problem by once [...]

These cartoons are the earliest Canadian made commercial animation (as opposed to the NFB independent films) that I remember. These are meant to be entertaining. THE WIZARD OF OZ The Wizard Of Oz is actually pretty clever, considering it was made for 10 bucks an episode. It's obviously influenced by UPA, but has its own interesting ways to do limited animation. It was animated at Crawley films,

Sometimes I like this diary to do impersonations of a normal blog. If only to get some of the internetty things I like out of my system. So… This is my favourite comic book cover of the moment, even if Mr Barack’s tie is too short: (via the New York Times). I like it almost as much as this [...]
