That one time I took my favorite time capsule banger from this album and laid it over some of my SPIDER-MAN gameplay… (FYI: The singer on this tune is Ron Dante, who was also the vocalist on The Archies hits like “Sugar Sugar” & the theme song for SILVER SPOONS.)

Waiting for someone to design a pair of glasses that just shine a laser into the lenses of smart glasses.

Vintage Sixfinger toy (“The most amazing toy ever!”), which is a toy gun that looks like an index finger, that had swappable functions - including a cap bomb, a ballpoint pen, SOS, shooting a secret bullet, shooting a secret message, and shooting a fragmentation bomb

I don’t want to point any fingers, but we used to be a country of genuine innovation.

Speaking of the goofball puppet karaoke I used to do, here’s “Whistle For The Choir” with an added instrumental solo…

Behind-the-scenes image of the filming of Luke & Vader’s final duel, with Luke standing over a defeated Vader as the film crew captures the scene, from Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi.

Why yes, I do need this transformed into a renaissance tableau painting, please. (By an actual artist - No A.I. nonsense.)

This thought had been stuck in my head for years, and I finally had to do something about it.

I am still inordinately proud of my nonsense…

It’s always useful to take notes.

You’re thinking of the adult novelty “Sexfinger” toy. Easy mistake.

I thought you’d eventually reveal the franchise to be a Jerky Boys origin story…

Photo of my from the late 1980s in my childhood bedroom, playing Nintendo in a room covered from floor to ceiling in comic book posters.

Portrait of a young me in my natural habitat. There should be enough context clues to guess the year...

Vintage comic panel showing Spider-Man placing a dummy made of webbing into his bed... SPIDER-MAN: "First, I'll leave a web dummy here in the bed-- in case Aunt May looks in on me later! In the dim light -- covered by blankets -- it oughtta do the trick!"

Vintage comic panel showing elderly Aunt May entering Peter's bedroom with medicine and a spoon in hand, advancing towards the web dummy under the bedsheets. She lifts the sheet... CAPTION: And there's still another spot that our Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler isn't in! Namely-- AUNT MAY: "I hate to wake the dear boy, but it's time for his medicine again!" Peter? My! I've never known you to sleep sop soundly before! The flu bug must have certainly tired you out!"

Vintage comic panel showing a close-up of Aunt May recoiling in shock...

Vintage comic panel showing Aunt May fainting and falling onto Peter's bed, unconscious... CAPTION: Suddenly, the room seems to spin around the startled widow, as a flood of merciful unconsciousness envelops her-- And then, a deep and fateful silence pervades the shadowy room once more--"

The Perilously Poor Planning of Peter Parker...

Okay, yeah, I spent way too much time editing this tiny short with my middling skills, but once the notion hit my noggin, I had to see it through… AND IT WAS FUN SO IT WAS WORTH IT. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do…

I love this miniseries. The hardcover is jam-packed with bonus material and it is the best way to add it to your collection, which you absolutely should - Particularly if you love joy and need a little more it in your life.

I love the notion of playing a game with friends that’s loaded with my favorite Marvel characters, so I tried MARVEL RIVALS again, and my first impression of it remains - It’s like the video game equivalent of a Hot Topic vape shop.

I wonder how hard primitive mankind had to sell adoption of the wheel.

It’s sublime when you finally stumble upon an outlet that requires the deep reserve of previously useless niche knowledge you’ve been accumulating over the course of a lifetime.

I've always loved this Walt Simonson cover for THE ETERNALS...

I can't imagine there's been any other moment in @kumail.bsky.social's life when he's absolutely wanted to kick the bucket, but that's the magic of @taskmaster.tv - It takes a person out of their comfort zone & drops them squarely into some of the most unexpectedly uncomfortable zones in their life.

I remember mail ordering stuff as a kid that would take months to arrive, by which time I’d either forgotten I had ordered it or it had become the stuff of legend in my mind. Either way, finally seeing it in the mailbox was like finding a mythical lost treasure.
