After years of badgering wandering kids on Sesame Street, Big Bird and Snuffy had enough. Thanks to a connection they had through Jim Henson’s workshop (trust us, it’s like six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon) they got a hold of a phantom zone projector. With the projector in tow, Big Bird and Snuffy confronted Oscar about his general grouchiness around perspective customers kids.

We all know and love Dinosaur Comics, right? That wonderful little strip started in 2003 from that Canadian fellow Ryan North that takes the same images of dinosaurs and uses them over and over again as they engage in humorous conversation?
Ah, but did you know that in prehistoric times (okay, seventeen years earlier) another Canadian funny guy, Ty Templeton, created the exact same strip?
Ryan didn’t believe me either when I told him about it at the MoCCA festival this weekend, but it’s true– we have proof. From Critters #3:
See? Same dialogue, same xeroxing– Ryan’s been copying dinosaurs even longer than he thought he had.
(Note: we aren’t actually accusing Ryan of copying any more than he already copies; so please don’t delete our Project Wonderful account, Mr. North, sir.)

That’s what Entertainment Weekly is hinting at.
As usual, I’ll believe it when I see much more confirmation, as I’m still old enough to remember when Joss was supposed to direct Wonder Woman.
On the other hand, I’m sure he’d pass muster with Marvel’s crew pretty quickly, and Joss is known for doing well with keeping things under budget, which is always important, particularly with Marvel Studios known tendencies towards penny pinching.

Alas the economy has hit even those hard working folks in
Metropolis. With most people turning to digital publications, the Daily
Planet was forced to lay off several less than stellar reporters. In an
unrelated story, it appears Superman is selling merchandise from his
“Super Cart” in the middle of downtown Metropolis Square. Truth be
told, there are plenty of deals to be had, folks. For just $13.95 plus
tax you can have any number of fabric swatches literally stolen off the
backs of unsuspecting super-folk.
Warner Home Video is celebrating this week’s release of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy on Blu-ray and iTunes by offering one lucky ComicMix reader with a gift set that will include:

Seems TBS has out-foxed Fox to woo Conan O’Brien and his late-night comedy show to their Time-Warner owned TBS. The deal, as announced today will allow CoCo to own the rights to his show (ala David Letterman) and grants him a 4 day work week, ala Cable’s Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and George Lopez. Lopez’s show will be bumped to midnight, but according to The Wrap’s Josef Adalian, it was George himself who called Conan to talk up the “8 Figure Deal”.
This is a big blow to Fox, but given that no deal had even been brought up to Conan and his people. And what talk there was of a deal, didn’t speak about owning production rights, as well as possible restrictions for affiliates happy with their Seinfeld, Simpsons, and Office reruns.
So, is CoCo happy? “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing
live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable,” O’Brien said. “My plan is
working perfectly.” So said the Boston-born pale skinned late-night virtuoso. Look for the new Conan O’Brien show in November.
Is he the new SPIDER-MAN? If the internet is right, LOGAN LERMAN will lead off the Spidey Reboot plus a photo finish at the Box Office (but make way for KICK ASS), IRON MAN 2 is already the #1 movie of the year and Alyssa Milano on her (non) role in GHOSTBUSTERS 3.

Some boys grow up to be scientists. Others grow up to be bus drivers. Some become doctors. Others become writers. Some become international playboys who fight crime at night in order to make good on the their promise to their dead parents. Others become international playboys who need to murder at night in order to feel real feelings anymore. It’s really a small world when you think about it eh? And thanks to this little You-Tubery we can see that there’s a thin line between the Dark Knight and the Cocaine-Infused ATM Kitten Feeder. And while we’re pretty sure Bruce Wayne would get reservations at Doria if he wanted, Batman never trained in precise chainsaw dropping. Bateman 1, Batman 0.
Enjoy the mash-up.
