Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

Pure Joy

I've just seen the recent Simpsons episode that featured Alan Moore, art spiegleman and Dan Clowes as guest stars (also Jack Black as the owner of a new comic book shop). It felt weird to see an episode of a show watched by millions feature humor that only a select group. In fairness only the first act dealt with the new comic book store in town although there's a nice call back at the end. At times I felt I was watching a show borne out of Mike Sterling's imagination. He is the first one I know to bring up the idea of "Watchmen Babies." I made screen captures of some of my favorite moments.

Two of my favorite pieces of pop culture ephemera in one place: The Thing (or rather "The Thung") and The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Anyone who shops for comics in L.A. might have noticed that the store Coolsville is based on Meltdown comics on Sunset, right down to the weird Japanese stuff.

Comments: I missed it, but I saw part of it on youtube. Didn't see Death Of Casper, though. That cover is great!
