The 6 Most Awesome Dogs in Comic Books
Once upon a time, I wrote up a pretty fun List of Six about the coolest cats in comic books. It’s one of my favorites, because I’m a big cat person. But it’s only fair that turn about be fair play and I write a list about cat’s arch-enemies: dogs!
And to think you had forgotten this existed
Just like those furry felines, there are a ton of pet dogs in comics. There are classic comic strip canines, like Odie or Marmaduke or Snoopy, but I’m more interested in comic book pooches. Who are the super-dogs? Or at least the sidekick schnauzers?
Join me after the jump for the six coolest canines in comic books!
Mad Max: Fury Road is Honestly One of the Best Movies of the Summer!
I’ve seen a handful of movies so far this year, and Mad Max: Fury Road is the surprise smash hit so far! It’s neck-and-neck with Avengers: Age of Ultron for my true favorite. And Screen Junkies recognizes this awesomeness with a great Honest Trailer!
If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and find a way to watch Mad Max: Fury Road. Maybe it’s still in theaters somewhere! Or wait for the DVD! It’s every bit as great as any action movie could be!

Couple’a Neato TV Show Trailers
My computer chair broke the other day, and I’ve had to rely on a crappy, older fill-in chair all weekend. It sucks. I hate this chair and don’t wanna be at my computer longer than necessary. Fortunately, my good chair was still under warranty, and a replacement part has been shipped out. Unfortunately, it’s not here yet, so my butt is still stuck with this crummy option.
Either way, best I can do for the blog-loving masses is a couple of cool TV show trailers!
We’ve got Ash vs. Evil Dead:
And The Walking Dead:
So kind of a ‘dead’ theme going on today for some reason…

The Real Karate Kid
I never saw Karate Kid growing up. In fact, I missed out on a lot of defining movies of the 80s because my family just didn’t go to the theater to see films. We rented movies from the bargain rental shops, and those films rarely included the regular picks of my generation.
But I do enjoy going back and giggling at the old movies with the hindsight of the 21st century.
Kudos to J. Matthew Turner for this look back on this silly movie. One of my favorite comedians, Gary Gulman, has a pretty good riff on the Karate Kid too.
Sometimes you’ve just got to kick nostalgia in the tuckus.

Old School Batman Killed More People Than I Remember
I’m a fan of Batman’s ‘No Kill’ rule. Just because he’s a vigilante doesn’t mean he has the right to take anyone’s life into his own hands. It’s not his fault that society can’t properly deal with the Joker or keep him from escaping. But Mr. Sunday Movies put together a fun supercut of all the henchmen that Batman killed in the movies.
Besides, the real question at this point should be: why hasn’t Commissioner Gordon killed the Joker?
