On Twitter, regarding the Animalympics posts, Tobias Carroll writes I am absurdly happy that you did this. Said cartoon had nearly passed into the realm of “things I thought I’d hallucinated.” Everybody has things like this, don’t they? Even in the age of Google. One of mine, for example, is an educational cartoon from the […]

Kevin Drum is enthused that California has joined the National Popular Vote movement, and my question is: why? I’m not asking “why does he support the National Popular Vote.” I agree with him that a national popular vote, assigning each state’s electors by percentage of votes to each party, is a much better and fairer […]

Night Slayer is one of the many examples of the school of Batman villain that’s more old-school 70s-style Batman than modern Batman: the guy who wants to be as good as Batman at being Batmannish, but evil.

Your guest judges are Kenny Ortega and Katie Holmes, who is a human wasteland. Damn, is that a whole season without Adam Shankman? Shame.
