mom*mom e-mailed me this cool cover of the comic-book version of the cult-film classic, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. If you haven't seen this yet, you're only missing out on some of the worst dialogue, performances, special effects, and music ever committed to celluloid, with a plot that's dopey beyond belief. If you don't fall asleep 15 minutes into it, you may also spot young Pia Zadora in all of her chipmunk-cheeked ingenue glory.

So what are you waiting for? Download it from archive.org and watch it now...Now...NOW!

Current and former Los Angelenos will be thrilled and dismayed by My Dog Spot, a tribute to car dealer, Cal Worthington, whose trademark speedbanjo jingle, bizarre menagerie of beasties masquerading as canines, and promises to "stand on my head and eat a bug to sell you a car" were fondly remembered fixtures of my childhood late-night television viewing in LA.

The site features a collection of audio and video clips which are all small, poor quality, and worst of all, encoded in the excremental Real Player format, so I've taken the liberty of ganking a better clip from TV Party, converting it, and uploading it here so you can Go See Cal, Go See Cal, Go See Cal!
