Baby update in my second album! I also plucked a few of those Sunday color classics from Ottawagrant's post. They were too funny to resist! Thank you very much! Enjoy!

Quote from: SAGG on February 18, 2017, 01:02:23 AMKnow what's REALLY scary? "Versus", not "and", or "teams up with". They're gonna FIGHT one another?  What's missing? Bugs Bunny vs. Superman?

Oh, no -- Bugs and Supes are both the good guys. Marvin, Yosemite Sam, Lobo & Wile E. Coyote, and Elmer Fudd are all bad guys.

Meanwhile, eighteen years ago (and now seeming like a timely candidate for a TP reprint collection) ...

Toons will live. Toons will die. (Or at least, have anvils dropped on their heads.) Elmer Fudd gains the powers of Superman. Daffy becomes the Duck Knight Detective. And due the mischievous machinations of those extradimensional imps, Mxyzptlk and the Do-Do, there looms a Cwisis on Infinite Eawths...

Written by Mark Evanier (who has plenty of experience with animated characters), penciled by Joe Staton, and inked by Tom Palmer & Mike "No Relation" DeCarlo.

I remember this cover!    It was crazy then, and it's crazy now....

And this just in...

In their quest to leave no traditional property unrebooted, DC will follow up the DC/Hanna-Barbera crossovers with a series of DC/Looney Tunes crossover/reboots:

Jonah Hex Vs Yosemite Sam
Martian Manhunter Vs Marvin the Martian
Lobo Vs The Road Runner.
Batman Vs Elmer Fudd

I know this sounds like an April Fool's Day prank (too early, alas), but I assure you we have confirmation... BATMAN vs. Elmer Fudd??

Know what's REALLY scary? "Versus", not "and", or "teams up with". They're gonna FIGHT one another?  What's missing? Bugs Bunny vs. Superman? Lola Bunny vs. Wonder Woman? Speedy Gonzalez vs. Vibe?

If memory serves, for a time we used to go to Kmart on Wednesdays to take advantage of their discount dinner they offered.   I was there many a night.   My parents shopped the heck out of the place afterwards, so I presume it all worked out, moneywise.

Wow, a Kmart that's also a restaurant? I've never seen one. Around here they're just department stores (although I've recently been in a larger one that carries groceries, as well). I know of a couple of Walmarts around here that have Subway franchises inside the store, and one Target that has a mini-restaurant that serves fast food (hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, etc.) but that's about it.

Yeah, I do recall that our old Kmarts had cafeterias:

I liked eating there as well when I was little. Woolworth's was the same, only that the store was smaller...

Wild, man! Just wild!

FUTURE QUEST #12 is the final issue of the series. Guess we'll have to wait and see whether there will be any other series that spin out of the events that created "the Hanna-Barbera Universe", but I suspect not.

No, no, NO!!    How stupid is this?! That's a great series!! Idiots.... 

You must be a Trump Republican, then. It's okay, Trumpian.: These things go on in cycles. Your party will overreach, and you'll be back on the outside. Enjoy it--for now...

So I should invest in a state where they don't think much of me, AC? No thank you. I'll go where I'm wanted. There are plenty (more) of rich Republicans that can do just that in Kansas and other deep-red states. Why don't they get involved? Let them prove that all this tax-cutting on the rich works, the same for investing in America. So far, I haven't seen it doing too much. Yeah, some states like Florida and Texas don't pay state income taxes, but don't think for a second they don't bite you in the butt somewhere else. They WILL get their revenue. It's a scam for the demagogues...

I don't think you understand what I was saying.  For eight years, President Obama talked about the tech industry being the future of American employment to replace previous kinds of employment, and the tech industry was by and far his biggest supporters and campaign contributors.  The tech industry does indeed make a pile of money, and it has also never left one area of California.  The people that control it talk about the rest of America like this, explaining why they don't leave California:

http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/08/tech-company-founder-middle-america-is-a-shthole-filled-with-stupid-people/

Meanwhile under the leadership of previous administrations like Obama's, all gainful employment left everywhere else that isn't on a coast due to things like NAFTA and globalization redistributing that work to other countries who can pay workers peanuts.  So yeah, bragging that California balanced it's budget by taxing rich people unlike those terrible plains states that have no income shows a certain lack of self awareness that is pretty much a Californian trait imo. 

Californians also reacted to a bunch of blue states in Middle America rebelling against your party, not by asking why it happened, but by crying that the electoral college should be illegalized so California can determine every future election while at the same time calling everyone that lives outside California terrible bigoted racists even though they elected the African American spineless man of inaction twice.  So no, I don't have a problem with saying bad things about California.  Everyone that doesn't live on a coast hates the state's guts for very good reasons.

Before you generally blame the Dems for NAFTA, don't forget that the Republicans share the blame for it, and some of them are just as "elitist". The Dems don't have the copyright on it. And President Obama did what he could, while the Republicans sat on their hands and did nothing, period, except be obstructionist. You see what you want to see, don't you, so it's pointless to take up this issue with you. DR's right. Let's get back to Sears/Kmart on this thread, and agree to disagree. Your call...

^ i went to the Target in San Francisco when i was on vacation. I liked it but i was surprised that i had to pay $0.05 for a plastic bag. I figured the reason for not having a Walmart was the same as for NYC where I am from, cause it hurts smaller businessesbor something like that. I could be wrong.


However, I never seen so many Walgreens in my life until I went to San Francisco

It's called Commiefornia for a reason.  Don't worry, everyone in San Francisco is either as rich as sin or a homeless bum that is living an above middle class lifestyle.  When you're as rich as sin you can be concerned with things like insuring that every homeless bum has free housing and owns a Chihuahua (yes they actually get free Chihuahuas, I wonder why so many homeless go there, could there be some kind of connection?).

QuoteWhile you were in San Francisco did the new soda tax kick in yet?

Anyone who supports this kind of soda tax should be thrown into the Boston Harbor by people dressed as Native Americans.  Of course, since California is trying to secede from the United States now, they probably no longer consider their sevles Americans.

Say what you want about Democratically-controlled California, but after Der Arnold left, Gov. Brown raised taxes on the rich, and the state went from huge deficits to huge surpluses. Now, contrast this with, say, Kansas, where taxes were slashed, bare-bones style. Result? Huge deficits. Now, I think the soda tax might be a wee bit going too far, but hey, sugar can be as addictive as nicotine or alcohol, not to mention it can help to promote diabetes, which I have. For the sake of health, paying a tad more on a tax might just discourage enough people to cut back on taking in something that could affect their health. And I can't swim, nor do I want to... 

I'll weigh in on this. I couldn't see the show because a tree fell on a power line near where I live. I didn't get any power until just about 9:00, which is when the show ended. It appears from what I see from the critique on these boards is that I didn't miss anything. It seems as if the show's producers have went too far in trying to portray Archie and company into a Twin Peaks/Beverly Hills 90210 show from what we know. Translation: Greg Berlanti went too far in his vision of Archie. I can't figure out why he didn't go the route of his superhero shows and make subtle changes without going over the top. He could have made Archie into a light comedy, and kept the diversity that was ingrained and rock-solid. Example: He didn't have to make Josie African-American, since Valerie had that distinction already. He could have had Frankie and Ginger be the Latino representatives instead of putting others in to do so. I think it's going to Berlanti's head that he can put anything on the air and get away with it. Only time will tell. I'll see if I can look at the premiere online, and make a call of my own....

I had a crush on her when I was a kid.
First TV/movies person I ever crushed on.
I was 4 or 5.

Goodnight, Laura.

I haven't read anything from Dick van Dyke yet. I wonder what he'll say...

AHA! So Ms. Bellum was in Riverdale before she went to Townsville, and became the Mayor's assistant!    It's so obvious! 

Jughead's related to Ms. Grundy! They both have the same type of nose!    Wait--Mr. Weatherbee does as well...

Put in some more stuff just now in my second album. Enjoy!
