I thought it was really weird that five past Oscar winners came out and gushed over each of this year's acting nominees. I like the traditional way with one winner from the previous year introducing and presenting the acting award for the opposite sex. Being nominated for an academy award is already a huge honor without the extended on-air love fest, plus the whole thing unnecessarily eats up more time. I mean come on... these actors wouldn't even be in the room if they didn't have SOME talent right? So why the hell do they need more praise heaped on them with millions watching... increadble...


OK, maybe I'll admit that Mickey Rourke needed slap on the back...

but other than that it was too much...


It's also cool to note that a "COMIC BOOK" movie has won a major acting award with Heath's Joker... It makes me wonder about Watchmen and next years Oscars...

Arte Y Pico Award


The fantastic Becca selected my blog for an Arte Y Pico Award! I am greatly honored. Thank you Becca.


Here are the Rules:

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.



2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.



3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award (done at the end of Paragraph 1).



4. Please include a link to the “Arte Y Pico” blog so that everyone will know where the award came from.



5. Show these rules.



Here are the 5 Blogs I selected:

Matt at Paleo-Future has a great blog about the Future that never was. Every generation has had practical and totally bizarre ideas about what sort of culture or inventions there might be in "the future" and this blog makes sure they still have a home. All our forgotten tomorrows are logged whether they’re from the 1880s or the 1980s.

Arkonbey has been creating and posting self-made comics on-line at Obscurum. His Obscure Tales series is just what a jaded, cynical comic fan like me needs right now. What’s additionally cool is his discussion about the process he uses to create his pages, Fun and informative.

Dr. Zaius has, in my mind, has the best designed and the best content in the whole bloggershpere. His greatness is only matched by his intellectual capacity. Go to Zaius Nation and you’ll see what I mean.

Comics Fairplay was one of the first comic blogs I latched on to. Heidi Meely’s (and James too sometimes) frank but respectful discussion about a medium I love keeps bringing me back. I’m not even reading the same titles as her, but her blog just has that certain something. It’s like a four-color pub discussion over a brew. Plus, I appreciate the simplicity of the layout. Comics Fairplay makes comics almost seem like a real legitimate topic to chat about. Imagine that! I’m not a closet comics fan anymore thanks to Heidi.

How could I pick just one blog by Rob!? Well, the rules are the rules, so take a gander at All in Black and White for 75 cents. Never has a better comic series been written on the topic of comic book magazines. There was an age undreamt of where Horror and Adventure had a home. Where fantastic art, relayed the visions of amazing writers in a larger, adult format. Recapture those lost journeys or discover them anew with this amazing blog. (Hell just check out all his fun sites you’ll be glad you did).

Praise From Doctor Smoke


That's right folks Doctor Smoke has given me an award AND interpreted me for a cameo in his web comic-strip bananaglass. Absolutely freakluscious.

It's offical now I'm a universe expert, convention crasher, and nerd! Thank Doc,

Here's the bananaglass episode with moi.



I love the emblem Doc created for my chest.

It makes me think I need a sidekick named Pigmuffin.
