Princess Avengers

Christopher Stoll has just entirely stolen my heart with this image:

Pocahontas

That’s Disney’s Pocahontas as Captain America, if you needed the nudge. I would absolutely read this comic/watch this movie/play this video game/drunkenly buy this lego figure on ebay.

Click through below and you’ll see Mulan and Snow White, and a few others. It’s also worth going into each image and reading his imagined description of each character.

Mini Comics Kickstarter

How many puns can you count?

This is my favorite Kickstarter ever. It’s going to end in 48 hours and I need it to reach its goal.

Three guys, all of whom are charmingly terrible on camera, are trying to produce six mini comics.

The action figures are limited to certain reward levels.

The name Mini Comics Included refers to the old-school marketing ploy of including a mini comic in an action figure’s packaging. There’s an example of that in their video.

Fans of Community will remember the Kickpuncher mini comic that was included in the Season One DVD. Here’s a link of Dan Harmon talking about the mini comic. So if you’re a Community fan, you’re probably a mini comic fan already.

Ridiculous, pun-heavy, nostalgia-fueled joylets—or mini comics for short—featuring Prime-8s drawn by Ryan Browne, whose Gods Hate Astronauts recently funded successfully, and Literary Commandos which features a character names Marksman Twain. Not too long ago, Wil and I came up with a bunch of pun-based superheroes and one of our best was Karl MarXman, so I’m already a huge fan of Marskman Twain. In fact, I’d like to see a version of Enemy At The Gates featuring Ed Harris as Marksman Twain and Jude Law as Karl MarXman, but not even Kickstarter could make that happen.

(maybe if we did Veronica Marksman…)

Mini Comics Included, by Mike Moreci and the Brothers Seeley. Jump on it.

The best part? For $15 you get all six mini comics! That’s a no-brainer.

Okay, now that you’re all backing this project and telling your grandmothers to back this project, let’s move on to the question that’s been bothering everybody since the beginning of the Internet:

When is there going to be a Kickpuncher Kickstarter?

Mars

If you’re like me you spend a lot of time thinking about Mars.

Have you seen this one yet? I’ve seen it before but it recently popped up again on NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Almost as cool as…

I’ve stared at this for over 30 minutes now and I keep finding new things. Troy and Abed, Flight of the Conchords, the Three Amigos, the Duck Hunt dog, Ace Ventura, Tobias Funke, crazy Ron Swanson petting Lil Sebastian, Cyclops making eyes at Leela, Pac-Man chasing Casper and Space Ghost, all of the different Joker cosplays, He-Man singing in front of the rainbows, Deadpool chasing the magikarp, Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee holding hands with Slaw, the Game of Thrones game, the QWOP sprinter (which counts as a Red Shirt), the Kramer painting!… there are too many wonderful things here.

He wins major points from Dog Mic for including the Jurassic Park/Dennis Nedry bit.

Just look at this clip, he’s got the poofy shirt, the Kramer painting, the Elaine dance, and naked Costanza, plus, Shaun with red on his shirt, Dennis Nedry being spit in the face by a Left 4 Dead spitter, Stephen Colbert, the Duck Hunt dog, and the Prince of the Cosmos.

Here are his comments so far from the Reddit page.

I planned out the booths first and the jokes i wanted to for them. That was followed by adding in characters that would go with the booth. Then common areas I filled in with groups of characters that didn’t need to be in booths. And then finally putting in characters I didn’t really have a joke for to fill up the rest of the space.

For the booths I used a Photoshop smart object which also included the characters that are within the booth. Characters not in booths I had them as groups of layers. There are A LOT of layers in the final PSD.

Dude, it’s so fucking awesome that you and everyone else are picking up these details. When I was close to finishing it I showed some friends and probably because it wasn’t their thing, they just didn’t spend much time looking at it as I had hoped. So to hear you guys enjoying it gives my smile a huge erection.

Filson Outdoor Gear

One of the reasons I haven’t been posting to Dogmic is that my computer doesn’t run the editor very well, and I haven’t had the patience to put up with its choppy, slothy bullshit.

Still, the unspoken peer-pressure builds each day, and I feel more and more compelled to post something.

And then, somewhere along the way, Dan got 1,000+ hits and Kosmo got 200+, and everyone has, like, 1,000 more hits than me, so, now, no matter what I post, I’m going to feel useless.

Anyway, check out this site: http://www.filson.com

They make really high quality outdoor gear, with a smattering of regular every day sort of gear. They have a $30 t-shirt,

an $800 leather briefcase,

and this coat, which I think I wanna buy.

All of their products are made in a Union Sewing Factory in Seattle, and they guarantee all of their products, I think, for life.

What do you guys think of the coat?

Grand Theft Auto & Back to the Future

This is honestly the coolest thing I’ve seen done with videogames.

Found on reddit.

YouTube comments are for the damned. However, this video on YouTube has a hilarious response from a guy whose real name is probably not superbeefcake29, “This would be dope if it took your [sic] from GTA IV to the world of LA Noire.”

That’s a game I’d pay $60 to play!

BTTF-related, this is the coolest non-real-life thing I’ve ever seen. In real life, this levitating hoverboard is the best BTTF-related creation I’ve seen.

Rock on, Internet.
