A video blog to keep track of the videos that we want to make sure to show each other next time we get drunk and look at youtube videos all night. Plus we have on November 26th, 2008 a picture of a clown and a Bruce Haack tune. Brand New! Live! Expletive! 1940s! Theme Song! The News sans Huey Lewis! The Power of Love!

The Top 10 Comic Book Artists Working Today Countdown List Extravaganza (According to Me, with All Due Respect to You.) #8
Have you ever made steamed wantons before? We hadn't done but yesterday got a bamboo steamer and made some. They were delicious. The boiling water didn't really help our already hot and humid pad though... Now then, on with the show. The next artist spectacular is...
#8. Doug Mahnke
There's a creepiness to Mahnke's characters and a moodiness to his pages that's just about the coolest thing going in superhero comics. His exaggeratedly heightened-reality pencils made his work on last summer's Final Crisis some of the most memorable. The two issue Superman Beyond may be the high-point in a blockbuster DC event already packed with memorable moments. I can't say I'm waiting with baited breath for this summer's Blackest Night super-event, but with Mahnke set to take over pencils on Green Lantern, at least we'll get some atmospheric and bad-ass art.
