Bits & Pieces

That lion is wearing glasses.

THE LION THAT WORE GLASSES

Short fiction returns to Scary-Crayon with an all-new story entitled "The Lion That Wore Glasses"! Well, technically it's an old story, but still. And no, the title's not trying to be clever: it really is about a glasses-wearing lion.  (1/20/08)

''The skies will rain fire. The oceans will boil...''

A Crayon Haiku #68!

The formerly hero-centric (sorta; the 'zarro twins mean well!) DC Comics action figure collection of Scary-Crayon is rocked by the arrival of its latest addition in A Crayon Haiku #68. Let the universe howl in despair!  (1/18/08)

Now taking submissions!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES!!!

That's right -- Scary-Crayon is now taking submissions! Well, we always kinda sorta were, but now it's officially official. Wanna submit? Read the lengthy guidelines first so you know just what you're getting into.  (1/4/08)

That'd look great atop a Christmas tree, eh...?

GEORGE AND THE XMAS STAR!!!

George and the Christmas Star -- the story of one man's quest to retrieve the Star of Bethlehem and stick it atop his Christmas tree -- is the official favorite holiday special of Scary-Crayon. Read our review to find out why!  (1/1/08)

When predators attack, Chris Hansen is on the case!

Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #103!

Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator" is the kind of show you'll likely go to Hell for enjoying -- and in Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #103, we spotlight one of the reasons it's so hilarious. These predators are idiots.  (1/1/08)

Freaky fun for everyone in 2007!

THE MADBALLS ARE BACK!!!

The Madballs have finally returned, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Sure, they've changed over the years -- as seen in this review and comparison piece -- but they're still the same ghastly globes at heart... head.  (12/18/07)

The epic battle between evil and eviler rages on...

CHOOSE YOUR RIDE... OR DIE.

Okay, Street Blazers doesn't threaten death, but the toyline does inspire despair by offering no heroic sides in the race to decide the fate of Earth. In addition to discussing the line, we review the Dante 7" tractor trailer.  (12/12/07)

Submit to the mindraping.

Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #102!

We return to the "Heroes" universe in Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #102 as Matt Parkman grills Angela Petrelli at the precinct. As always, however, the dialogue and events proceed a tad bit differently in our rendition...  (12/2/07)

Mr. Butler... what are you doing?!

Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #101!

It's time for another screencap comic -- this time from the second season of "Heroes"! In Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #101, we see what happens when good geneticists go native. Also, Kristen Bell is hot.  (11/26/07)

Rawr will murder Decepticon kneecaps.

QUICK CHANGE DINOBOTS! (Part 2)

Yes, Rawr and Ultra Gunk finally return in Part 2 of the Quick Change Dinobots review! This time, we compare them to their cousins from the Transformers universe. It's not exactly a fair comparison, but still...  (11/7/07)

O'Ryan has lovely hair.

GROOVY GIRLS MINIATURES!!!

Yes, Scary-Crayon likes more than just boys' toys! Wes braves the awkwardness of buying tiny bendable girls and amazing technicolor beds in public so you can read about that groovy O'Ryan and her Bombastic Bed.  (10/1/07)

The Quick Change Dinobots Review: Part 1 of 2!

QUICK CHANGE DINOBOTS! (Part 1)

In the first part of this two-part toy review, Scary-Crayon looks at two members of the four man machine Quick Change Transforming System Dino Robots team. Swoop wishes he had a cheap Big Lots counterpart too.  (9/7/07)

A blast from the past... or is it the future?

A Crayon Haiku #67!

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- it is really difficult to write four lines about the contents of a three-line haiku without rendering actually reading the poem unnecessary. A Crayon Haiku #67 has a dinosaur in it. Sorta.  (9/7/07)

Trini is awesome.

BOY MEETS WORLD...

...and the greatness of Trini! Our latest Spectare review is mostly a critique of "Boy Meets World", but we also pay tribute to Topanga's quirky best friend... who appeared in all of two episodes. And look! Video clips!  (8/26/07)

Join Batman and Robin in Dusty Plastic HELL #6!

DUSTY PLASTIC HELL #6!!!

Yes -- at last -- it's Dusty Plastic HELL #6! No -- alas -- it's not the continuation of Krang's quest for a body. Batman and Robin are here, though... and they've just returned to find some unexpected visitors in the Batcave.  (8/18/07)

A mysterious figure...

A Crayon Haiku #66!

Much like the responses on Jeopardy, A Crayon Haiku #66 takes the form of a question. Like certain answers and Daily Doubles, it also refers to an image. Will you be able to answer it? That was also a question.  (8/11/07)

Face Flippin' Chris Benoit!

FACE FLIPPIN' CHRIS BENOIT!!!

Over the weekend of June 23, 2007, Chris Benoit shocked wrestling fans by killing his wife, his son, and himself. Yet in 2005, the Face Flippin' Chris Benoit figure prophetically depicted the two sides of the late WWE star.  (8/7/07)

I wish this would transform into a better movie.

ROBOTS IN DISGRACE.

Transformers. Robots in disguise. Heroic Autobots battle evil Decepticons in a million-year war to decide the fate the universe. How do you screw up a premise like that? Michael Bay and company pulled it off.  (7/11/07)
