Tumblr Watch: Dwain Smith’s Googly Eyes X-Men Comic Covers Makes Mutant Angst Fun Again
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, LOL on December 28, 2011
What is it: File this under: yet another simple idea so awesome that we should have thought of it first. Dwain Smith‘s pasting of googly eyes on X-Men covers is nerd comedy we can get behind. We don’t understand why but the more serious the X-Men cover, the better the eye googlies makes it. He’ll never run out of usable material from the Dork Age.

If Adventure Time ever got a live-action movie treatment we have a hope it looks half as awesome as Phil Noto’s vision.

Tumblr Watch: Awesome People Hanging Out Together
Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat, Photography on July 29, 2011
What Is It?: In the photo above you have Bob Marley, Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh just hanging out. In the photo below we see Roald Dahl and Ernest Hemingway having a stroll in 1944 London.
If you haven’t noticed we’re slightly addicted to candid photographs of celebrities being regular people or hamming it up on the fly. Tabloid pics do not count.
Hopefully this new Tumblr will feed our interests for a while.

Webcomics Love: Zac Gorman’s “I Draw Nintendo” makes Link a Badass in 4 Panels
Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Art, Comics, Panel Perfect on June 23, 2011
Why We Read It: Technically we just found it. Obviously we love what we see.
I wanted to draw at least one comic where Link looked like a badass.
We believe you succeeded, Mr Gorman.
Zac Gorman‘s simple style, love of Nintendo and motion comics mastery mix together to create lovely art. Check below the jump for two more examples of his style. Special note: our favorite is the one on bravery.

Moment of Who: Texts from the TARDIS & The Hub & The Sexy TARDIS
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, LOL, Macro on June 8, 2011
Not one. Not two. But three. Three Doctor Who related Tumblrs. Two of them take advantage of the “Texts from ___” meme that we’ve been missing out on. Texts from Pawnee, you’re next on our Tumblr Watch list.
They also harken to fumetti or photonovels, if you will. Photonovels use stills from film or television along with narrative text or word balloons to tell a story. So yeah. Comics!
The odd lady out on this list is the Sexy TARDIS Tumblr. It takes advantage of the much loved(by us anyway) Neil Gaiman written Dr Who episode that aired this year, “The Doctor’s Wife.”
Texts from the TARDIS
What Is It?: Screen caps from all of current Doctor Who series were merged with Texts from last Night. Hilarity ensues. Sexy hilarity.

Texts from The Hub
What Is It?: Some avid TORCHWOOD fan(this remains hard for us to believe those really exist) took Texts From last Night and applied them to scans from the DOCTOR WHO spinoff TORCHWOOD for comedic effect. We gotta say this is the funnest that show has ever been. This includes all the unintentional laughs. But it does not include the “Children of Earth” miniseries which we found quite enjoyable.

Sexy TARDIS
What Is It?: As we mentioned above, Neil Gaiman wrote an episode for the 11th Doctor called “The Doctor’s Wife.” In that gem of television we learn that The Doctor calls the TARDIS sexy when they are alone. Fandom has latched on to this idea with gusto and ran with it. The SexyTARDIS- Tumblr is all about “Sexy” doing its damnedest to take you home for the night. If you know what we mean. Basically it’s inside Who jokes nerds tell themselves during that game of D&D on a Friday night.(This fits us to a ‘t’ only the games are on a Sunday night.)
