Danny DeVito is Always a Gem, Especially as Wolverine
There is a really, really fun meme making its way around YouTube over the past few months, and that’s inserting Danny DeVito footage into other pop culture. Especially footage of DeVito as Frank Reynolds in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Most recently, the Corridor Crew has inserted him into the X-Men films as Wolverine.
That’s funny stuff! That’s quality internet weirdness. And I’m very happy to share it!
I’m also really happy to share these videos from the YouTube channel eli_handle_b.wav. It looks to me like this channel came up with the Danny DeVito meme, with their videos inserting Frank Reynolds into Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Last of Us.
It’s just endlessly funny to me! Frank Reynolds is an amazing character, and there is so much Danny DeVito footage available. I hope the internet continues to deliver on this stuff, because it’s a hoot!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/2/24
What a week, what a week! I got slammed at work this week, which is never fun. But I did manage to squeeze in some comic book reading, with titles like Avengers: Twilight and Duke.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 because I liked what I saw in this issue.
Meanwhile, I watched the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender this past week and it’s…fine to not good. I don’t know if I’ll do a full review or not. Nothing that happened in the live action first season is better than the animated version, so it calls into question why even have a live action version. Honestly, it’s made me question why we have live action adaptations at all, especially if you’re just going to recreate the cartoon over again.
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book 3, Duke #3 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117.

The Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter is still going strong, and we’re only a few backers away from hitting our first stretch goal! At that point, we will guarantee the inclusion of a series of mini-comics we commissioned from some artist friends of ours, which I’ve been sharing for weeks now on this blog. And to help bolster these artists, I’m doing a series of quick “Meet the Artist” posts.
Next up is Jesse Lundberg.
Q. What led you to becoming an artist?
A. As a kindergartner, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was an illustrator. So I guess I’m just living out my childhood dream.
Q. What do you see as your strengths as an artist?
A. Being able to work in multiple styles. I can draw cartoons and realistic likenesses, switching from one to the other fairly easily.
Q. What are your future goals as an artist?
A. More cover work and a future all ages book I am working on currently. Maybe revisiting my IP Harold.
Jesse did the artwork and lettering on two of the short comics: Punch Challenge and Dual Wielding. He also designed the new character Super Guard, who appears in the second comic.
Tune in next week for a couple more artist profiles!

Top 6 Tyrannosaurus Rex Characters in Pop Culture
The Tyrannosaurus Rex is damn cool. Dinosaurs are already cool, and there is no cooler dinosaur than the T-Rex, the Tyrant Lizard King! Which is why the T-Rex is all over pop culture, from comics to cartoons to the big screen. I even modeled the villain of my new Gamer Girl & Vixen comic after a Tyrannosaur!
That’s right, I was able to tie this week’s List of Six back into my ongoing Kickstarter campaign! Such is the way of things. But Tyrannosaurus Regina is not yet a household name, so I had to put this list together out of known T-Rex characters in pop culture. The meanest, toughest, coolest and nicest Tyrannosaurs in pop culture even!
Join me after the jump for some pretty great Tyrannosaur characters!
Read the rest of this entryGamer Girl & Vixen Artist Spotlight: Luke Beatrice
As you are hopefully no doubt aware, my Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter campaign is going strong! We’ve already hit our goal and will be making a new comic this year. We’re now working on our first stretch goal, in which we’ll include all of the GG&V mini-comics into the graphic novel, I’ve been posting every Friday for the past few weeks. And to help facilitate that, I’ve done some little interviews with the guest artists! That I’m going to share here!
First up is artist Luke Beatrice. Find more of his art at that link.
Q. What led you to becoming an artist?
A. I just wanted all the crazy things I saw in my head to be real! I started drawing when I was 9 or so and my first fanart was for Batman: The Animated Series.
Q. What do you see as your strengths as an artist?
A. I’ve been told that color and expressions (both facial and body language) are my strengths.
Q. What are your future goals as an artist?
A. I’m an animator by trade, so I’d like to do more personal animated shorts about LGBTQ+ peeps!
Luke did the artwork and lettering for two of the short comics: Quizzy Bee and Walk of Pride, which you can read below!
And there will be plenty of more work from Luke coming in the future! Can’t reveal it all yet, but it’s gonna be pretty awesome in the year ahead!
