South Park creators offer fake apology after show is erased in China

(this is old news but I am only just now catching up with the new season).

Bah, humbug

Well Thanksgiving is over, which means we don't get a single day to recuperate before the Christmas shopping madness begins.

Disney Plus has the third-best Christmas Carol movie of all time* The Muppet Christmas Carol available to stream, so here are some reasons why people still love this movie:

1. It's one of the best food movies of all time.

2.  Michael Caine friggin loves it.

3. It's got Easter Eggs.

4. Lots of Easter Eggs.

5.  The great Paul Williams wrote the songs.

6.  It was a very emotional project for the creators.

and 7. The Ghost of Christmas Past is freaky as hell.

* After Mickey's Christmas Carol and Scrooged, obviously

Treat yourself this Thanksgiving

Instead of bland, flavorless pies made of useless garbage like "pumpkin," "pecans," or "apples," why not enjoy a cool, refreshing Dole Whip this holiday?  One taste and you'll say "Whip: It Good."

It's only been out for two weeks, but not only does Disney Plus kill creativity, it has also ruined the Marvel Universe.  

"We Are Just Openly Shilling"

Abigail Disney is the hero we deserve.

It begins...

Things only "adults" notice about the Muppets. 

Finally, Return to Oz gets the respect it deserves.  Thanks, Disney+!

Don't share this because Lasseter would get soooo steamed

Disney Twitter has been talking about the 1995 short Runaway Brain recently, as supposedly John Lasseter hated the cartoon and wanted it permanently exiled to the Disney Vault?

I don't care, any excuse to watch the show again.

The Face On The Milk Carton

The great Disney Comics Randomness blog has some examples of a sadly underappreciated media format:

MILK CARTON COMICS.

Apparently these are a thing in Norway, but other countries have them too:

  Who wants to see some depressing missing person when you could read the adventures of Scrooge and the gang over your morning bowl of Wheaties?  

The concept reminds me of the similarly unloved and unmourned Ralston-Purina Morning Funnies Cereal:

Any surface that can have comics printed on it SHOULD have comics printed on it is my belief, and I'm willing to die on this hill.

Get Disney Prime

Brave New World

Here's how I know we are living in the stupidest timeline:  I just gleefully installed the latest corporate spyware into 6 different devices because I am so excited that I can watch Gargoyles whenever I want.   The President of the United States is committing crimes live on television, entire cities are drowning, the children have become blase about school shootings but hey, I can pay to watch The Disney Afternoon AND The Marvel Action Hour!

Anyway, Disney Plus is great and you should get it.

RIP Tom Spurgeon. 

I never got to meet him, but Tom was someone I tried really hard to emulate when I started this dumb blog years ago.  Comics won't be the same without him.

I can't get enough of these Defunctland videos.

Important Update

Kingdom Hearts is still very strange:

There are more than enough bloggers to go around!

Whither Br'er Rabbit?

BILLION DOLLAR VIDEO GAME IDEA:

Street Fighter 2, only the fighters are black and white cartoon characters. 

Oswald, Betty Boop, Krazy Kat and Ignatz, Felix, Popeye, throw in Cuphead for the kids.  Maybe make Bosko an unlockable bonus fighter.

Martin Scorsese Versus The Avengers

Scorsese Avenges the Auteur

Scorsese's New York Times piece on the subject.

For what it's worth I've seen every damn one of the Marvel movies and all the Star Wars too and I still think Scorsese is correct here.  Sometimes you just want a Big Mac but then don't try and tell me it's fine dining, ya know?
