My Favorite: Movies: 1985
Another year full of movies I remember pretty fondly. There were a number of movies I actually liked quite a bit while watching them but just can’t list as among my top ten favorites from the perspective of 2013. Young Sherlock Holmes is a fun and fairly well done movie adaptation of the iconic character with some decent special effects for 1985. Heaven Help Us is about a band of boys at a catholic high school — I went to a catholic high school. Finally, Explorers was a fun adventure movie for kids — I distinctly remember choosing it over …
Working on #5 of the Webcomic
I have a couple of things I am not 100% sure how to pull off in this one. The main thing being I want the reader to follow the transformation into the wolf out of the normal Left to Right, Top to Bottom progression in comics. I added a red background for now – not sure if that works (now or after colors, etc).
933 Dollars
The creators of 933 Dollars did a guest comic for Girls With Slingshots which was pretty funny. Doing a great guest comic for a more established webcomic can be one of the best marketing tactics for a new webcomic. Especially if there’s some overlap between the two comics, which in this case there is a little bit. 933 Dollars is about a high school graduate heading off to art college; needing desperately to find a place to stay that she can afford. 933 Dollars has really nice art, just over easy on the eyes. The writing is at times really …
My Favorite: Movies: 1984
1984 has special connotations due to the George Orwell novel. It was the year Ronald Reagan won his “Morning in America” reelection to the United States Presidency. I bet there were some editorial cartoons that year linking the two. It was also the year the Oakland Los Angeles Raiders beat the Washington Redskins (I live in the DC general area now; I still wish the football team would change its name) – a game that sealed my fandom of the Raiders and doomed me to many recent years of misery as they’ve fallen into deep ineptitude. But that game was …
My Favorite: Movies: 1983
1983 was during my high school years. I had forgotten this but just as 1980 delivered a Star Wars and a Superman sequel; 1983 delivered a Star Wars and a Superman sequel.

My Favorite: Movies: 1982
The stretch between 1980 and 1982 was kind of epic for my childhood in terms of favorite movies: Empire Strikes Back, Superman II, Raiders of the Lost Ark and now Star Trek II: KAHNNN!!!!, Tron and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Let’s start off with my usual excursion over to IMDB to remember what I’ve seen and what I haven’t but probably should get around to watching. HAVE SEEN: Tootsie, 48 Hours, Tron, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Deathtrap, Nightshift, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Firefox, Poltergeist, Blade Runner, The Thing, Annie, One from the Heart, Zapped!, My Favorite Year, The Grey Fox, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gandhi, First Blood, Pink Floyd The …
