Puppet Master: Torch

 From Sam Flegal 


And thus we end 2020 the only way we can, with a small puppet burning everything. 



This has been a year that lasted for decades but before we let our guard down and declare it over (only to have it spring up at the last minute) I just wanted to say thank you to those that follow this blog and there will be more content in 2021. We'll have Bring on the Bad Guys, the Summer of Love(craft), the Aroma of Troma, more UWF, and the Horror Countdown all in 2021, so be there.

Puppet Master: Pinhead

 From Sam Flegal 



Continuing with the theme, since 2020 was a year filled with little terrors, we have Pinhead, the tiny bruiser with the big hands.

Puppet Master: Blade

 From Sam Flegal 



Puppet Master is one of those series I follow, although I'm baffled as to why. So why not celebrate Christmas with a knife handed killer puppet?

Rock Man Retrospective: Blues

 Long time fan of the Rock Man/Mega Man series, so why not a look back at the various characters?



Blues, Break Man, Proto Man, a bunch of names for the first robot made by Doctors Wily and Light.

New Mutants: Or Why I Don't Write Movies for a Living

 Well the New Mutants movie finally got released this year, or should I say escaped?

I kid, but seriously if given a chance, how would I have ended the mutant saga?

Horror Host Homage: Count Basil

 From Drawing Horse Studios



Count Basil, the short-lived host of Jackson, Tennessee. Taking a break from the Daily Lanterns, but there might be some more next week.

Daily Lanterns: Patrick Stewart


 Yeah, somewhat of a cheat as Stewart was never officially a cast member, but he was on the show quite a bit, plus if anyone can bring dignity to the Star Sapphire outfit, it's him.

Daily Lanterns: Stephen Colbert

 And back again!


Continuing with the Daily Lantern theme, since I had Jon Stewart wearing the Green Lantern ring, who could be the Sinistro in this situation? 


Again, a little obvious but it seemed a good fit.

Daily Lanterns: Jon Stewart

 A cheap joke and already dated at this point, but when I commissioned this the Daily Show was hosted by Jon Stewart and yes, the interwebs was filled with Jon/John Stewart mashups. Since everyone else was doing it, why should I ignore the trend?


So, with the the most obvious prompt ever, here's Jon Stewart using the Green Lantern ring.

 Art by Frank Salinas, words by me.

This is the end of Pro Wrestling for the moment, but starting tomorrow and for the rest of 2020 we'll have more art.

Pro Wrestling: The Comic Chapter 2, part 4

 Given the general insanity we've seen in 2020, why not kick the art jam off earlier this year? So starting now, every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of 2020 will feature some of the artistic treasures I've found/commissioned/suddenly appeared in my crackerbox palace. 

So for the first entry we'll finish up what is becoming a Christmas tradition, the world of Pro Wrestling: The Comic.
