No crusty snot here -- these balls are fresh 'n' gooey!

STICKY NEW MADBALLS!!!

Although we've billed this as a sticker review, our analysis of these appalling adhesives mostly details our thoughts about the new Madballs depicted on them. And how could we not? They're delightfully disgusting!  (8/11/08)

A Care Bears/Madballs crossover?!?!?

CARE BEARS AND MADBALLS...

Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia!

MERRY XMAS, AMELIA BEDELIA!!!

The February 2002 Cosmopolitan Review!

COSMOPOLITAN IS TERRIBLE.

Here at Scary-Crayon, we occasionally come under fire for reviewing things that weren't meant for us, but that hasn't stopped us yet! Today, our proud tradition continues with a look at the February 2002 issue of Cosmo.  (5/18/06)

Harry Potter and Philosophy

HARRY POTTER AND WHAT?

Once again, Scary-Crayon deigns to address the world of Harry Potter! However, despite the title of Harry Potter and Philosophy, Rowling's young wizard plays little more than a supporting role in this particular book.  (12/7/05)

Walter Mosley's Futureland

WELCOME TO FUTURELAND.

It's time for another Scary-Crayon book review! Step into Walter Mosley's Futureland, a collection of sci-fi tales that deal with race in the immediate future. There's quite a bit of serious commentary in this one, too.  (9/22/05)

Fuck you, Harry Potter.

FUCK YOU, HARRY POTTER.

THE RETURN OF RED SONJA!!!

A Day With Barney...

SPEND A DAY WITH BARNEY!!!

In this latest book review and commentary, Scary-Crayon cracks open A Day With Barney and observes the lifestyle of that purple bastard from sunup to sundown. So if you aren't shakin', there's something very wrong...  (4/27/05)

On Bullshit

HURRAH! MORE BULLSHIT.

In this book review, Scary-Crayon undertakes to discuss Harry G. Frankfurt's best-selling attempt to define the word "bullshit", appropriately titled "On Bullshit". Alas, the book falls into the category of bullshit as well.  (4/15/05)

Constantine: The Hellblazer Collection

CONSTANTINE, THE HELLBLAZER.

Armed with the sixth sense and a holy shotgun, John Constantine battles Hell's forces to buy his salvation with demon kills! Works for a video game, but a comic based on a movie based on a comic? Pretty weak.  (2/27/05)

Red Lobster's Hidden Treasure Pack #1!

PLAY IT AGAIN, RED LOBSTER!!!

By popular demand, Red Lobster and friends return for one final Scary-Crayon review with the fabulous first issue of the Red Lobster Hidden Treasure Pack. Will we ever see Red again? It's up to you! Details inside.  (1/25/05)

THE RED LOBSTER FUN BOOK!!!

Firing up the ol' time machine once again, Scary-Crayon revisits a time when seafood restaurants were the rage and the Red Lobster Fun Book kept many a child busy while the food took hours to cook.  (4/19/04)

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

THE MADBALLS DO HISTORY!!!

The Madballs finally come home to Scary-Crayon in this review of The Madballs History of the World. Sure, there's no way you can handle it, but have a look anyway. Puritans have more fun, you know.  (3/19/04)

Ugh.

AND IT'S TORTURE TIME AGAIN.

Yep, Scary-Crayon once again delves into the horrors of "O, the Oprah Magazine". Well, not exactly "into" -- this time we've only reviewed the cover of the December 2003 issue. Just the cover. Still horrible.  (3/1/04)
