Okay, I was just so happy with this little set that I had to pat myself on the back. Lots of nicely textured details here, nice color, mostly dollar store and thrift store junk. The globe in the foreground is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My brother and I long ago came up with what we called “the Cylon School of Marksmanship” to describe the targeting abilities of henchmen, flunkies, invading aliens, and other groups of interchangeable baddies. It was inspired by the classic 1970s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sitting right next to my computer here I have a copy of “Kickin’ Bot,” former Mythbuster Grant Imahara’s book on building combat robots. Not that I’ve ever BUILT a combat robot, or that I ever intend to, but hey, sometimes[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Like I said, Tyrannosaurs are funny. I like the sports gear in this setup (The Minions have an employee gym? Who knew?), and those hand weights are hysterical, but I’m bothered by the position of the T-Rex, which is actually[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

T-Rexes are funny. They just are. Even in the original Jurassic Park film, the otherwise terrifying T-Rex ate a LAWYER, sitting on a TOILET, because that’s just the kind of comedians they are. I’ve got a number of the big,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“The Ancient Minion” was another character introduced late in the Minions at Work 1.o run. I really liked the idea of the character, but he was hard to come up with single-panels for. He tends to be kind of static,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We lost David Bowie yesterday, and that’s no laughing matter. It’s quite sad. But we’re in the business of funny here, and I’ve found myself listening to “Space Oddity” over and over. It’s one of several songs (Elton John’s “Rocket[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
