Jake & Leon #168: “Dream A Dream”

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?

Yeah, I got to see The NeverEnding Story on the big screen. It was amazing!

OK, so last week I didn’t have any comic reviews except for that one on Saturday that was supposed to be the previous Saturday. So this week, to get to work on last year’s Brass City Comic Convention videos before this year’s convention this weekend. That will be a quick intro which I want done and the three panels which I would like to have done. If I finish a video it will be that night’s post. Otherwise it will be a second daily comic review so I can get caught up.

Over at Reviewers Unknown I collected the ConnectiCon videos I posted here this week. I already had a couple people find themselves in the Day 1 over at the YouTube hosting. That’s cool.

When you can't pick just one fight moment, go for the funny one.

Two weeks later and Wily’s reaction is still funny.

Reviews and hopefully at least one video dominating this week. Enjoy.

And so we have reached the final day of ConnectiCon 2013. Thanks to the problems I had been having the last two days plus having to check out of my hotel and staying up late to see The NeverEnding Story on the big screen, this is a very short one, about 6 minutes.

Friday Night Fights: Why the Herculoids are better than Captain Planet

I had scanned last week’s Friday Night Fight and, not having time to write it up, planned to do so in my hotel room before ConnectiCon. And I was too tired to it, and of course too busy on Friday. So here’s the fight you would have had last week.

I wasn’t the hugest fan of the Herculoids but what’s not to like about them? It was one of those shows that showed that Hanna-Barbera had some good monster designers on staff. Apparently someone at Cartoon Networks Presents liked them because I can’t recall a Toonami issue without them. So what happens when spent fuel rods are dropped all over the planet? (The book keeps using “Amzot” but I don’t remember that name ever being used in the classic shows. I know Space Stars, the NBC show that teamed with with Space Ghost and a couple original ideas, called it “Quasar” so to me that’s the name of the planet.)

BW Walks Around ConnectiCon: Day 2

ConnectiCon logoDay 2 of me walking around ConnectiCon, on Saturday. This is a shorter video because my tripod had to break, and I and a maintenance man at my hotel tried to at least jury-rig it so I could finish the convention. I’m not happy.
