In A Crayon Haiku #140, we see that Groupon isn’t just about offering deals on Asian food and boat rentals — the company also aims to aid customers who need someone to listen. If you need help, contact Groupon. (7/29/12)

Night Shadow Leonardo — Playmates’ TMNT contribution to the SDCC exclusive madness — is among the more difficult items to obtain at SDCC 2012. But before you weep or resort to eBay, read this review. (7/13/12)
We’re really going to be all about the TMNT content during SDCC — ’cause for us, they’re the greatest thing about the con! Check out the first turtle-rific entry with this quick look at the exhibit hall TMNT displays. (7/13/12)
It’s true: Scary-Crayon is on the scene at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con! And since no convention experience is complete unless one is ogling appreciating cosplayers, here’s a look at some Day 1 highlights. (7/12/12)

A Series of Unfortunate Events!
In this multi-book review, we assess Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events in broad but rather thorough strokes. Unfortunately, while there’s a lot to like about the books, you’d be better off watching the movie. (7/8/12)
YES — A Random Lunch is back with a brand new twelfth installment! After days without electricity, Wes dares to consume the Hot Pockets left in the fridge. But that alone wouldn’t make for a Random Lunch, would it? (7/6/12)
