Ever Wished That Calvin and Hobbes Creator Bill Watterson Would Return to the Comics Page? Well, He Just Did.

Posted on June 8, 2014 by geelw

While I’m dealing with some rather dopey computer issues today, here’s one of the best things that happened from last week. As a big fan of Mr. Watterson and his work a d a sort of recent convert to Pastis’ hilarious strip, this is one of those “Can’t believe it happened, but SO glad it did!” events that made me smile a lot. I know people want Bill back in comics on a more regular basis, but I say take this moment and three days worth of strips and savor it. If he wants to do more at some point, it’s ALL up to him. I don’t think Calvin & Hobbes is coming back because he stopped it when he ran out of things to say with those characters and I think anything new would be forced and fan-driven, which always turns out badly in the end for some creators. On the other hand, if wants to do *NEW* material, I’m more than fine with that! Okay, get readin’, people! I need to fix some stuff and figure out what’s mucked up on the site.

Back in a bit (tomorrow, it would seem)…

Funko’s Hikari Friday 5 Giveaway: TWO Turtles Up For Grabs!

Posted on May 30, 2014 by geelw

This week’s Hikari giveaway is kind of like a rerun, but a GOOD rerun with new stuff. TWO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vinyl figures will be given away to two very lucky winners. One is Leonardo (yeah, you know he HAD to make an appearance given the rest of his pals have been part of this giveaway)and the other is a no-name Turtle that’s cool because of the silver glitter thing going on.

Okay, you know the drill, people! Hit up one of the Funko social network pages below:

Enter and keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed – you just may be one of the two lucky WINNERS! Everyone else, well… you’ll need to boogie on over to your favorite collectible retailer in August in order to buy one of these. Good Luck!

Funko’s Hikari Friday Giveaway Continues (This Time, It’s A Double Shot Of Turtles!)

Posted on May 16, 2014 by geelw

Funko is upping the chances to win one of their Hikari Japanese Vinyl figures this week with TWO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vinyls up for grabs.

As you probably know (or in case you didn’t), Leonardo was the first figure they gave away two weeks back, so it only makes sense that Raphael and Donatello get gifted at some point, each to ONE lucky random winner. Remember, there will only be 500 of these made and you could win the first off the line for that collection of yours.

Yeah, yeah, there’s one more Turtle to go, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Anyway, to enter, just hit up one of Funko’s facebook page and look for those grimacing Turtles glaring back at you, enter and keep those fingers crossed. A winner could be YOU! Or me, if I luck out. I don’t ask for much these days now, do I? Hmmm.. maybe they should give Michael Bay one of these so he knows what a Ninja Turtle SHOULD look like!
