For Sunday, 5 July, I’m thankful for World War Two sitcoms. I think Hogan’s Heroes, ‘Allo ‘Allo and Dad’s Army would make a great campaign. Something along the lines of the Allies need to get a scientist or engineer, or somebody’s girlfriend, out of Germany and who better to get the job done than… Read more »
¡Tres Amigas!
For Sunday, 28 June, I’m thankful for the Tres Amigas! Left to right they are: Empolvada, Suertuda and Eda. I can’t remember where I got Empolvada. I thought she might have come from either Great Escape or Knuckleduster, but I can’t find her on either of their sites. I’ve had her for at least… Read more »
Cloud Class Starships
For Sunday, 21 June, I’m thankful for the Empire’s Cloud Class Pocket Cruisers. They are: Altostratus Stratocumulus Cumulonimbus The Imperial Pocket Cruiser Cumulonimbus, cloaked above a boreal coast while conducting strategic reconnaissance to Core:
Space Weirdos!
For Sunday, 16 August, I’m thankful for Space Weirdos. Two weeks ago a couple friends and I played a three-way game that was a blast, even though it was a blow-out for me. One of my buddies mustered a horde of Mantic Games’ Space Zombies and Ghouls. Witness the canage: My other buddy attacked… Read more »
Axolotl!
This past Sunday I’m thankful for the axolotl. I’ve always thought they were cool little creatures. And in Mexico City right now, they’re everywhere as part of their World Cup decorations and celebrations. I was tempted to buy a pinata of one but resisted. I couldn’t figure out how to get it home. Instead… Read more »
Luchadors Rule!
Last Sunday I was thankful for Mexican Wrestling. Though, unlike the fan I caught in this next photo, I was a bit unsure of who was who. I did eventually sort them out though. It’s made easier by the bad guys loving being bad guys. I came home wanting to rewatch some El Santo… Read more »
RT601
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Adventurers. Specifically creators who’ve set about painting each and every figure from the Rogue Trader miniature series RT601. Thus: I recently discovered there is a subculture of incredibly talented painters who — over the last decade or so — set themselves the goal of painting all of the… Read more »
Heavy Metal Is Back!
This past Sunday I’m thankful for the return of Heavy Metal magazine. Late in 2024 Heavy Metal ran a Kickstarter to relaunch the magazine with a new #1. Such a great cover. I backed it. And then I decided to support them for the first while by buying a one-year subscription for the next… Read more »
Alien Legion
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Alien Legion comics. I mean, look at these magnificent bastards!: I collected it as it was coming out in the 1980s and -90s. It was such a fun read! About a decade ago I tracked down a few of the compilations and graphic novels. I still pull them… Read more »
Cowboys and Dinosaurs!
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Wild West dinosaur movies. The Beast of Hollow Mountain Dinosaurus! And, of course, The Valley of Gwangi All three are on Blu-ray now! Though I’m sure you could find them in a few places if you looked around. The only way any of these films could be improved is… Read more »
