The classic photo of Leonard Nimoy in Spock costume leaning on the 64 Buick Riviera he bought with his Star Trek earnings will be immortalized in dinkycar, thanks to the good offices of the Hot Wheels Corporation.
The limited-edition car-and-figurine combo will cost $20 and go on sale atMatty Collector when San Diego Comic-Con starts.
When you think of archaeology, you might think of Roman ruins, ancient Egypt or Indiana Jones. But Licence works in the field of “garbology.” While some may dig deep down to get to the good stuff — ancient tombs, residences, bones — Licence looks at the top layers, which, where he lives in England, are filled with Victorian-era garbage.
Studying what people threw away 150 years ago, Licence is getting to the bottom of an important issue: how much we throw away, and how to change that.
“We dig up rubbish,” says Licence, who is the director of the Centre of East Anglian Studies at the University of East Anglia. (His doctorate is in history.) “We’re interested in what people threw away and how we became a throwaway society.”
This should be the new “is your Batman remotely like Batman” test. Can your version of Batman be caring enough to hold and care for a small child, yet still menace four criminals into surrendering, and even then still not be scary enough that a civilian can just go up to him and say “hey you holding that baby wrong, you clearly do not know what you’re doing. Let me help.” And he accepts her help, doesn’t try pretend he doesn’t need help because it’d hurt his image.
That’s Batman.

THIS
Imagine a world where they went this direction with cinematic Batman, instead of “very grim oatmeal”
MFW fanboys lose their shit because this isn’t the right Batman and it’s ruining Batman and Batman is the worst because he’s holding someone else’s baby and wrrrrgggbbbllllll
And now for something completely different…Okay, it’s just filler until I can get new strips ready.
Howdy, and welcome to part 1 of Podquest, a silly little fantasy mini
comic starring some alien “pods”. The inspiration for this came from
Matt Howarth. He made a comic that had no human references and I wanted
to try the same. I’m not sure if I succeeded, I probably didn’t, but
it’s still kinda fun.
As I said, this was originally presented as a mini comic, and I drew it in such a way that I could print them on 11 x 14 paper, double sided, and then cut them down to size. Probably another reason I didn’t print so many.
This is also kind of a experiment in body language. Since they have no faces, their body language has to get the story across. Let me know if I was successful or not.
This is also an example of my early comics writing. It’s not perfect, but does give you a look at sense of humor.
