Here at BW Media Spotlight imaginative marriage proposals, especially ones using storytelling media, are always a happy sight to see. Kotaku found one such proposal. No, nobody went and added a level to a Bioshock game or created a fan game/hack, but you kind of wonder what this game would look like.

I think we all wanted to see who the movie goers would choose.
Now we’ll always wonder who would have won.
Admittedly this is where the comic had me.
I don’t really have an ending for this week. Unless you want to hear about my sinus attack I don’t have any news. Also, I still need a job. Well, I could tell you that more crossovers are coming for the Saturday retro comic reviews. That’s really all I have for now.
July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014
With Robin Williams passing I thought I would post the first episode of Mork & Mindy, the TV show that solidified his celebrity status. Except Hulu doesn’t have it up for some reason. I suppose I could have tried the Happy Days episode he came from but this series was set in modern day rather than the 1950s. While searching, however, I came across tonight’s offering from the third season. Whenever one of the performers on a show is famous enough there’s the obligatory story (unintentional rhyme) where a character will meet the celebrity playing him or her, and usually there’s at least one joke where they talk about how the two look alike. This episode used that as a gag but also a way for Mork to learn about celebrities and fame.
For those of you who have never seen the show, Mork & Mindy follows the misadventures of Mork, an alien from the planet Ork sent by his boss, Orson, to live among Earthlings and learn more about them and their culture. He ends up in Boulder, Colorado where he rents the room of Mindy McConnell, who learns of Mork’s origins and helps him learn about life on Earth. At the end Mork tries to explain what he learned to Orson by psychic projection. (Mork is shown to have various psionic abilities.) It turns out Mork’s report in this episode is surprisingly fitting considering Williams’ recent passing.

WRITER: Stuart Moore PENCILER: Tyler Kirkham INKER: Sal Regla COLORIST: Annette Kwok COVER ARTIST: Tom Raney LETTERER: Todd Klein ASSISTANT EDITOR: Lauren Sankovitch EDITOR: Bill RosemannLet’s see. Dinosaurs, robots, and robot dinosaurs seem to do well for me. So how about cyborg dinosaurs? Since none of this week’s comics offered a fair fight I’m going to my minicomic collection and back to Eternia. Or rather Pre-Ternia.
