Did they release a set of figurines based on this?

Parents who eat Oreos…have children who eat Oreos.
Just in case someone hasn’t seen that ad. The study Jake mentions is real, and I’m surprised it took as long as it did for me to come up with that joke. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if someone already made it by now. I haven’t seen it.
If you’re reading this from the homepage the rest of this article is going to be behind the “jump” because it’s also going to serve as a “programming note” rather than take up extra time. You will be happy to know that I grabbed a few new comics to read and there are a couple of titles I still want to follow, just not as many as I used to. I’ll explain all of that in a moment. I also picked up a bunch of the giveaway comics as part of Free Comic Book Day’s “Halloween Comic” event. So you’ll be getting a bonus comic review…at 12 AM ET! New comics will be at the usual 12 PM slot (and we’ll have a “Best Scene” winner next week). But that’s just a warm-up for what’s to come here at the Spotlight.
Remember when Frank Castle teamed with Dollman’s daughter?
The Punisher : War Zone #8
Marvel Comics (October, 1992)
WRITER: Chuck Dixon PENCILER: John Romita, Jr. INKERS: Mike Manley, Jimmy Palmiotti, & Josef ‘Joe’ Rubinstein COLORIST: Kevin Tinsley LETTERER: Jim Novak EDITORS: Don Daley & Tim TuohySomebody forgot to tell the writer of tonight’s entry a couple things about Bobby Drake. One, he’s a good guy and two, he spells his name “Iceman” and not “the Ice Man”. Still, we stick with this week’s unintended Marvel theme (because I didn’t know what to drag out for the intended Filmation theme) for our fight this time. Just another day for…
Yep, we’re going there again.

“Walk Through Fire” part 1: “Backs To The Wall” WRITER: Chuck Dixon PENCILER: Todd Fox INKER: Fred Fredericks COLORIST: Glynnis Oliver LETTERER: Jim Novak EDITOR: Don DaleyWhat do you think of when I say the name Flash Gordon?
Of course you do. The movie seems to have taken the name in the public eye. However, Alex Raymond’s newspaper strip, once reviewed by friend and Reviewers Unknown colleague The Comic Strip Critic, has appeared in numerous serials and TV shows over the years. Some of them are pretty good and some of them are…well, let’s just focus on happy things, right?
I have two other experiences with the champion of Mongo besides the live-action movie you all know. There was a compilation of the comic strips I reviewed over at The Clutter Reports, and there’s this one…which doubles as MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON OF ALL-TIME! Produced in 1979 by Filmation, it was a must-watch show and, like Jason Of Star Command, is one of the reasons I’m a fan of movie serials. And I can think of no better way to end a tribute to the late Lou Scheimer’s legacy than this one.
