The IMProbables in: "Quarreling With Q!"

 

I wondered who could be a foil for a team as powerful as The IMProbables, and then it dawned on me.  Q has been long overdue for an appearance on this blog, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to use him.  This issue would be 22 pages of pure chaos!

Linus and Brother Voodoo

 Happy Halloween! As a fan of the It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown , and I wanted to present the type of ending to that story that I would have liked to have seen - I always felt so bad for Linus. 

The Powerpuff Girls and Professor X

 When RJ, a Patron of this Blog, suggested that Professor X meet Professor Utonium, I wasn't sure what angle to take.  Then I remembered the special ingredient in the Girls' creation - Chemical X!  The story kind of writes itself after that.  Thanks, RJ!

The Club

 

I first was just going to put together a team of pre-historic heroes and then I noticed a common weapon that they all liked to use and this cover really started to come together.  It even made for the perfect name!  I can only assume that Alley Oop first decided to gather this team when he met Captain Caveman and Bamm Bamm's future Father in law in STF #3331...

Black Panther and Mickey Mouse

 

I haven't had a chance to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever yet, but I am looking forward to it.  I really liked Shuri and M'Baku from the first film and hope to see them both with larger roles this time around.  I'm still not sold on Namor, we'll see if the writing and performance can overcome the fact that he looks absolutely nothing like the comic book character.

I am very happy to use the work of Fred Hembeck on this cover.  Back in 2008, I commissioned him to recreate one of my all-time favorite covers, and he knocked it out of the park - he even hand drew the logo:

Bartman and Batman

When The Simpsons first began airing, I was so taken by the show that I decided to record each episode on VHS (yeah, it was that long ago!), and each Christmas I would make copies of these tapes and give them to my family.  They were a big hit - we were binge watching the show long before that became a regular thing to do with popular series.  Little did I know that the series would never go off the air!  I think I kept up the practice for the first six seasons.

Snoopy and The Rocketeer

I watched The Peanuts Movie, and I thought it was great.  I loved the blending of CGI animation with Charles Schulz' classic character designs and visually everything looked amazing, the best of the old and the new styles.  The story was fulled with heart and humor and really made me root for Charlie Brown.  The main plotline is interspersed with an action thriller featuring Snoopy vs. the Red Baron which was a blast.  If you have kids or were a fan of Peanuts when you were a kid yourself, I highly recommend a viewing.
