Comic reading this weekend: #TheAmazingSpiderMan #86, #87, #88 (more truth about Beyond as Ben's mental state is in question, while Peter tries to get back in the game & hello, Queen Goblin. Really like this arc); #Buffy #34 (Silas bites the dust, or does he?) #Marvel #BoomStudio
#SaturdayMorningCartoons this Saturday: the two part #SpeedRacer episode, "The Girl Daredevil," where Trixie gets some competition when Speed comes to the aid of circus girl, Twinkle Banks, who is being blackmailed by a villain into helping steal some Indian gold.
Comic reading this weekend: #Nightwing 2021 Annual (a great action movie plot co-starring Jason Todd); Nightwing #87 (an entire story told basically in splash pages, loved it); #TeenTitansAcademy # 10 (leaned a lot about Dane, but not much about Red X) #DCComics
#SaturdayMorningCartoons today: an overweight Elmer Fudd's vacation is livened up by #BugsBunny; a forerunner of #SesameStreet; there's trouble in the City of the Ancients; time to save Earth from Hoggish Greedly. #WabbitTwouble #TheFunnyCompany #Blackstar #CaptanPlanet
#SaturdayMorningCartoons this Saturday: in honor of #Halloween, I checked out #ScoobyDoo and the Witch's Ghost, the 1999 follow up to Zombie Island; a darker tone & true supernatural elements; sticks to the formula with a hoax, but then the real plot kicks in.
Recently watched the cult classic '81 horror film, DEAD AND BURIED, which plays out like a feature length gory Twilight Zone episode with the requisite twist ending; highlight is the wicked needle in the eye, and the Big Bad in none other than Grandpa Joe - Jack Albertson.
If it's #TexAvery, then #SenorDroopy has to have a Big Bad Wolf; #TheDickTracyShow - stereotypes or diversity before its time? The characters were broad, but they weren't the butt of the joke, they're heroic; #PopeyeandSon: give an old character a son and a family - '80s trope.
Comic reading this weekend: #Stillwater #10 (the kids take over, maybe not for the better); #Wiccan & #Hulkling Annihilation #1 (covers a lot of ground and Billy & Teddy's backstory); #Nightwing #84 (Fear State crossover feels like a detour). #Marvel #DCComics #Image
#TexAvery even had #ScrewySquirrel do the old "You don't say" gag in the relentlessly aggressive #HappyGoNutty; Dr. Dred steals colors on #TheDrakPack because the network wouldn't allow him to do anything really violent on a kid's show in 1980; #MartinMystery had good monsters.
