The Top 6 Fatty Fat Fat Comic Book Characters
Not all superheroes are hunky, athletic, Chris Hemsworth-types, you know. Some of them actually reflect the average American body type, which is the nice way of saying that there are fat superheroes out there. They may not get any shirtless scenes in the movies, but they are just as heroic (or villainous) as the Captain Americas or the Jokers of the world. Just because they’re packing on the poundage does not make them any less cool – or maybe that’s just what I keep telling myself while I’m eating a tube of raw cookie dough and watching Fat Albert reruns.
It’s true, Internet. Your favorite comic book geek/Internet blogger is on the chunky side. But rather than be ashamed of it, today we’re going to celebrate it! Here are the 6 best overweight characters in comics. And when I finally start that diet, maybe I’ll do a list of the 6 best svelte characters in comics.
Why Did No One Tell Me They Were Making a Charlie Brown Movie?
I think it looks kind of adorable, quite frankly. It looks like a fun, stylized, modernly animated take on Charlie Brown and Snoopy. And that music is the music of life. Here’s hoping that whoever is behind this movie makes it a good one. I long ago gave up all hope that any classic cartoon or comic was sacred, and that Hollywood would actually try to preserve something. So I’m cool with the Peanuts being turned into a film. Why not? No point in fighting the inevitable. But man, this is Charlie Brown! Don’t we all owe a little part of our souls to Charlie Brown?
Superman with a GoPro Rocks the Internet
I’m not one to shy away from Internet phenomenons, so check out this video of what it might be like if Superman wore a GoPro camera!
What the heck though?! Superman didn’t even go back to put out that fire! Still, awesome little video for this awesome day of Internetting. Go work, you fine folks at Corridor Digital.
I Don’t Own Any Simpsons LEGOs Because Money
Did you know that The Simpsons house LEGO set is $200?! What does LEGO think we are, made of money? Or that we’re all money tree farmers? Darn it, I knew I should have gone into money tree farming! I guess I’ll just have to satisfy my desires with all the fun that other people are having with their LEGO Simpsons houses. Like Monsieur Caron, for example.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/15/14
Welcome to the Ides of March my friends! Why isn’t this holiday celebrated anymore? You never heard about any other Ides of any other months. I wonder why this one went out of style…oh wait…right. But let’s not dwell on history’s murderous past! Let’s celebrate the present, and all the great comic books its giving us!
First of all, Captain Marvel is back! It was one of my favorite comics from the past year, and I was very excited to see it return…until it started making some startling changes! We’ll see if they’re good changes or bad. Beyond that, we’ve got explosive issues of Batman, Superior Spider-Man and Superman/Wonder Woman, as well as the second issues of X-Force and Fantastic Four. One of those is doing better than the other. And now I’m starting feel like a broken record for declaring Hawkeye #17 the Comic Book of the Week. But with panels like this one, how could I choose anything else?
This is a story you’ve got to see to believe.
Comic Reviews: Batman #29, Captain Marvel #1, Fantastic Four #2, Hawkeye #17, Superior Spider-Man #29, Superman/Wonder Woman #6 and X-Force #2.
