The Return of Stickman #1108


I belong to a group called The CLAW. Last night our theme for the evening was bowling. Thus I was inspired to do some bowling strips.

Each year this same story pops up a couple times. I thought I would do my own version of it.

The Return of Stickman #1105


I remember first hearing this question being asked of a volunteer teacher when I was young and in Sunday School. The volunteer teacher was doing a good job of responding with stern silence, until another kid asked, "What's porn?" at which point the teacher lost it and couldn't stop laughing. I thought, "Gee, porn must be really funny."

The Comic Critic Reviews The Wolfman (2010)


I don’t blame Universal for wanting to reinvigorate our interest in its classic horror holdings, but it is surely no easy task. The remake of The Wolfman is an admirable effort. If anything, I wish it had contained even more elements of the original movie. And I have to confess my fond memories of watching the original and my enjoyment in taking my dad to see the remake have strongly colored my impressions and judgment. I had a great time, but does that mean it is a great film? All I know is that for the rest of my life, I will doubly enjoy viewing both versions.

The Return of Stickman #1104


The circus was in town and while exercising something spooked our striped hero and he went for a little jaunt. Police had a fun time rounding him up on the highway.

The Return of Stickman #1103


The news article I read about this show then went on to give a recipe from the 16th century. It involves garlic, olive oil and a spit.
