Oh no! Aerial endangerment!

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Rex The Motherfucking Wonder Dog

Your glider is going to crash into the side of a mountain if you can’t get its flight plane stable! What do you do? What do you do? Well, maybe you steady it out using only your own body weight, if you have a basic grasp of aerodynamics and you happen to be Rex the […]

I Originally Came Up With This One Over A Decade Ago While Playing “Mage: The Ascension,” And For That, I Apologize

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write The Legion

The idea of “hero created in response to other heroes emerging, by people feeling threatened by said heroes” is again nothing new. However, the reason it isn’t new is because it’s timeless; it’s the classic human arms struggle (as power struggle) transposed to superheroics, which lends it a sense of immediacy, and it doesn’t have […]

“I Didn’t Make The World, I Only Try To Exploit It”

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

So a reader emailed me and asked for my take on this whole governor of Illinois getting arrested for being corrupt thing. My take is this: it is only newsworthy because something is happening to him. Yes, Rob Blagowhatever (I’m not going to bother trying to learn to spell it properly) is corrupt as fuck, […]

There Is No Thing That The Liberal Party Cannot Fuck Up

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics

I have a friend at law school named Jack (pseudonym of my own choice). Jack is intelligent, works hard, and clearly already has a disgustingly impressive career ahead of him. Jack is also a Tory (he’s worked for the Minister of Justice), and we like to argue politics all the time because arguing politics with […]

As Requested: The Best Of Improved Archie

Posted by MGK Published in Archie (Improved Or Otherwise), Bad Comedy, Comics, Here's A Lot Of Photoshops, Photoshopp'd

As selected by me, naturally. (I fully admit that there are many that might have been funnier than these to some people, but these were the funniest that were also, I feel, directly parodic of the image or the Archie ouevre itself, and given that Canadian fair dealing law protects parody and not free-ranging satire, […]

I Am Not Sure If This Is So Much A “Funny” Video As It Is A “Sad” One

My friend Rob, playing Guitar Hero on a Commodore 64: (By his own estimation, there were five girls present at this Commodore convention thing. Three of them were one guy’s wife, mother and daughter.)

Absolute Last SYTYCD Canada Recap Until Next Year

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

Man, the final four episode was a bit of a letdown after a largely superlative season, wasn’t it? All four: jazz. Fun way to kick off the show, I guess, but four-person routines in these shows never really gel for me the way two-person routines or larger group routines do. I have no complaints per […]
