Jake & Leon #152: Same Ol’ Transporter Gag

Yes, I do realize that I didn't use the alien whose name is an homage to Star Trek.

Yes, I do realize that I didn’t use the alien whose name is an homage to Star Trek.

Yeah, I know it’s been done before. Treat it as a requirement.

Here’s a programming note: There will be only the morning comic reviews until Friday. I want to do a special project for my favorite kid in the world, my cousin’s daughter. She suffered an injury that’s very bad timing and I want to do something to cheer her up. So article time will be devoted to that. Hopefully you all understand.

  • The Clutter Reports: In addition to this art project I have this big stack of outdated newsletters and stuff I haven’t read that need to be cleaned out. Maybe when my hand needs a break from all of that drawing.
  • Reviewers Unknown: While I still have panels to go through, I finished my general ConnectiCon footage, so if you missed it here’s the history of the convention.

Best Scene of This Week’s Reviews

Sonic The Hedgehog #240

Not the first time an event I didn't like led to a Best Scene nomination for how it's done.

Not the first time an event I didn’t like led to a Best Scene nomination for how it’s done.

Went for the raw emotion this time. Daily comic reviews continue, although there will be another Yesterday’s Comic in there on Saturday. Otherwise no articles until the Friday Night Fights, and the weekly RU posting. I’ll only be popping up on Twitter when I’m not drawing or going to the paying job. I just hope she likes it.

Friday Night Fights: Something He Learned From An Italian Plumber

Birdman gets kind of a bad rep among the Hanna-Barbera superheroes. He may be one of the most powerful thanks to his solar shield and ray blasts, but he has a habit of overexerting himself and may be more inclined to use brute force than even Mightor, and Mightor’s a caveman that fights dinosaurs. (Just go with it.) I think he just needs to learn to control his strength. Still he is able to pull it off in the end…sometimes OUT of his end.
