6 Characters Who Are Ice Cream
As I relax in my apartment and look outside my window today, it’s started snowing for reals. This is the first day of real snowfall and even a little accumulation. It sucks. Nobody likes the snow. I don’t mind the cold when I’m inside, because I can just bundle up. But man, that snow.
And what better way to celebrate the beginning of winter than with ice cream!
Makes some kind of sense to me! Because otherwise, after more than a decade of doing Lists of Six every single week, I’m just running out of ideas, man! I did snow and ice-based comic book characters years ago! And I’ve done two different snowmen lists. I’m not a machine! But everybody loves ice cream…and yet there are surprisingly few ice cream-based fictional characters. Or, at least, they’re very hard to Google unless you know where to begin.
And we’ll begin right here! Join me after the jump for the tastiest pop culture characters who are ice cream in one way or another!

I’m just not interested in horror games or horror movies. So I never bothered with Five Nights at Freddy’s, and I definitely never bothered getting into the deep lore videos on YouTube, because apparently that’s a thing. I did watch the recent movie, though, and as a non-fan, it was not that great. But hey, why not enjoy Tell It Animated‘s take on the whole thing?
I love Tell It Animated! He makes everything better! And it’s also a great way to kick off a Monday, so bully on that.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/25/23
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I had a relatively fine visit home with the family, and a big, fun pile of comics to read and enjoy! This is one of those weeks where a lot of my favorites have come out, like Nightwing, Superman and Power Rangers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #3 for another stellar, super enjoyable issue of Wonder Woman being awesome!
Meanwhile, I splurged on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this past week because it was on sale and I’m enjoying it well enough. I haven’t really given myself time to dive in deep, but I’m sure I will this weekend. I’m also, hopefully, going to read Do a Powerbomb by Daniel Warren Johnson! I’m excited for that. I should mention more graphic novels I’m reading on the side. Like, I read Eight Billion Genies and it was really good. So go me!
Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #114, Nightwing #108, Sensational She-Hulk #2, Superman #8, Void Rivals #6 and Wonder Woman #3.
Read the rest of this entryThere’s a New South Park Game?
I’m a huge fan of South Park, and a huge fan of the the recent South Park video games, The Stick of Truth and the Fractured But Whole. Those were amazing role-playing games, with some great character customization and storytelling, and just a wonderful use of the whole town. Well now there’s going to be a third and it looks totally different…but also still in line with it?
I just don’t know. The switch to 3D graphics is bugging me. Why change the absolutely perfect, show-accurate art style of the first two games? And now it’s a multi-player action game? Eeeeeh. Not a fan. But I suppose we’ll see. Maybe they’ll make another great game!
South Park: Snow Day comes out in March, possibly.

6 Thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
I was all prepared to do a review/List of Six this week on the second season of Loki. It was a good season, and despite the failure of The Marvels at the box office, I remain a diehard MCU fan. But then I watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off over the weekend and I just need to tell you about it!
TV Show Review: 10/10 – Fantastic!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is now playing on Netflix, so go and watch it! The show is produced by original comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, with assistance, and it’s so damn good! I don’t want to give anything away in this opening blurb. I was always going to watch this anime, because why not? But now that I have seen it all, I’m going to sing it’s praises as much as possible, because it’s such a damn fun show! And a damn fine follow-up to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie from years ago, which I did and still do love completely. I’m not a major fan of the comics, but all the adaptations have so far been stellar!
Join me after the jump for my review/thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
