“I see Pammy has a new tube of lipstick.” Just a reminder to click on the plus sign for Blue Gal again today to continue her epic battle against the Beastmaster, Pammygram. I cannot tell you the shame, the shame, the shame if Pamkake gets nominated for best blogger, and BG does not.

Beast Master (Volume 1) Kyousuke Motomi . Get past that whole S & M vibe going on on the cover of this book and you get a pretty sweet story, actually. Beast Master follows high school girl Yuiko Kubozuka, who loves animals. In a smother-them-to-death sort of way that gives Elmyra from Tiny Toons a run for her money. Which is why animals don't give her the time of day. But then a mysterious wild-eyed...

Beast Master, by Kyousuke Motomi, is one of the few contemporary shojo manga titles I know of that was created by a male artist. How does it stack up as a shojo work? Although the title and even the cover image imply a preoccupation with both traditional forms of gender dominance and their inverse, in reality [...]

Here are the highlights of book available in comic stores tomorrow! . Pick of the Week . The Marvelous Land of Oz #1 (of 8) - I really enjoyed Eric Shanower and Skottie Young's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz adaptation of L.

...Oh, sigh. You gotta know when to hold 'em, fold 'em, etc. Sadly, Kirstie Alley does not know how to do any of that. She's just gonna keep on plugging along no matter what. Which means yes, of course, she'll now be doing a reality show about weight-loss. At least it's on A&E and not VH1 or something. At least there's that. Though, an A&E exec said the following: "Kirstie is exactly the...

Here's a little meme I picked up at Kate Inglis's author blog . (I link to her sweet/salty blog in my blog roll). I tried not to be ridiculous about coming up with my Very Best answer for these questions and settled for the first (or maybe second...) reasonable answer that popped into my head. I could get lost in these questions too, too easily. How about you? 1) You are facing an epic journey. You...

Spoilers for tonight's "Community" coming up just as soon as I rip the antenna off your car... That's more like it. "Introduction to Statistics" was the strongest episode the show's done in several weeks. It made good use of the whole ensemble, giving every character a chance to shine without anyone's schtick feeling overdone (there was just the right amount of Abed doing his Christian...

Ever since we saw that Chevy Chase’s Pierce comes to Annie’s Day of the Dead party dressed as the Beastmaster on tonight’s Community (NBC, 8 p.m. ET), we’ve been wondering how that awesomely bad costume choice was made.
