Don’t Panic And Carry A Towel

"Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody's said to me all day." — Arthur Dent to Ford Prefect, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

This shirt is a reproduction of a poster produced by the Earth Ministry of Information. It was the third in a series, intended to be released only in the event of Vogon invasion. Unfortunately, since the Vogons demolished the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass, it never really got a chance to be displayed. (Link via ThinkGeek)

The Villainous Penitentiary Football Team

"What happens when all our favorite villains get locked up in a 1920’s penitentiary with an optional intramural football league?" Ya know, I ask myself that all the time — get busy villain-ing or get busy dying. 

OK, don't read the line below if you want to guess at all the characters. I knew 13 immediately, figured out another four and then artist Sean Kernick filled me in on the missing two.

Clockwise from bottom left: Boris, Montgomery Burns, Skeletor, Dick Dastardly, Mumm-Ra, The Peculiar Purple Pieman, Megatron, Green Goblin, Gargamel, Bluto, Joker, Dr. Claw, Murky Dismal, Beastly, Dr. Doom, Destro, Cobra Commander, Shredder, Muttly. (The Villainous from Sean Kernick)

Birth Of A Super-Villain

Kneel before Zod! Seems high school was an awkward time for the future general.

The image has been floating about the web for some time, but I found it on Topless Robot, who is holding a contest that asks people to write about their life of super-villainy. I don't think there is a prize, which seems to be the kind of thing to turn a nerdy person to a life of super-villainy, but that's hardly my concern.

The picture itself appears to be from a series of Russian graduation photos that mostly feature very tiny dresses. I am nothing if not pointlessly thorough.

Werner Herzog Reads Where's Waldo?

Hidden somewhere in this noisy, chaotic, morass of society is our fellow traveller, Waldo. A man unstuck from place and time, he travels the world on foot. His only lifeline to family and friends, a litany of dreary postcards, sent from arbitrary locations the world over. His postcards do nothing to convey the humanity, the madness of Waldo's adventures. For that we must go find him...

This whole German director Werner Herzog reads children's books series, by Ryan Iverson of Stupid is the New Awesome, leaves me with tears in my eyes each time. (Thanks to John at The Zeray Gazette for letting me know a new one was online.)
