Many thanks to Meine Kleine Fabrik for introducing me to Marvel's most random and mysterious recurring character, Steve Gerber's "Elf With A Gun".
Sounds like the next big Hollywood high-concept action film to me: "Babe, I'm visualizing Danny DeVito or Vern Troyer."

My friend, The Cartoonist, has amassed quite a collection of humorous sketches over at Konstantin's London Leben 'blog. I'm not quite sure why so many people had to die to make them though.

The very fine Golden Age Comic Book Stories weblog has been on a serious William Bendix weekend bender that's showcasing lots of great movie posters and magazine ads, including this loaded-with-subtext advertisement for Tootsie Rolls from Nellie Comics, starring a purse-carrying beefcake superhero named "Captain Tootsie" who takes a group of obnoxious kids to the movies so they can cheer a scene from the William Bendix film, Johnny Holiday, that proudly features a box of the turd-like, cavity-pulling candies being given to a hospitalized mother. I've never seen this film, but I'm betting that Mom dies soon after from a blocked colon.
