Morning Article Link: Punky Brewster Gets A Comic

Punky digital comic

Comics Alliance is focused on Roar Comics’ digital comic of Saved By The Bell, available exclusively through Amazon Kindle. However, they’ve already had a comic book. Punky Brewster hasn’t. I’d kind of like to read that one.

Chapter By Chapter: Total Recall adaptation Ch. 25

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were a reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Chapter by Chapter - Total Recall logo

Only two chapters left to go and I really want to get to the next book. It’s going to be a long one. Everybody is now racing towards the alien machine, and only one person knows what it does. That person is Douglas Quaid, who hasn’t been himself in a very long time. Now Cohaagen is ready to destroy what could be humanity’s last chance to survive. Yes, it’s a bit more important than the movie, but that’s what makes the adaptation so interesting.

Morning Article Link: Returning To A Theater Near You

First off an apology. I had to go shopping with my mom (who can’t walk well and needed to use one of those scooter carts) yesterday and the place was mobbed. By the time I got home, a lot later than either of us planned, I didn’t have the energy for even a late article or “Yesterday’s” Comic. I’ll post the Jonny Quest review on Saturday instead, but only because one of the stories is a continuation of the issue from last week. Again, I’m sorry about this and with me trying to look good for whomever is choosing WordPress Adwords, plus my usual perfectionism wanting to have all articles, comics, and videos out as planned, this has been terrible timing. (I assure you it’s worse for my dad. Send some prayers his way so he can come home soon.)

OK, back to business.

If you can't draw yourself riding Falcor why are you drawing at all?

If you can’t draw yourself riding Falcor why are you drawing at all?

There’s a good reason for showing that besides me riding Falcor. Shawn Robare of Branded In The 80’s brought up an interesting question. Some of the smaller theaters are trying to pull in older movie goers and modern movie geeks alike by showing older movies again on the big screen, sometimes without the Rifftrax guys. Shawn’s question is whether or not you should bother going to see an 80’s movie if you already have the VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray/Laserdisc/media only James Rolfe remembers. He explains why you should.
