The Three Little Pigs And The Big Bad Lawyer


He huffed and he puffed and he…signed an eviction notice. (Brick House by Savage Chickens)

Revenge of the Damsels


"At Magic Maggie’s School For The Feminine And Fictional, we wholeheartedly believe that no women’s safety should ever depend on whether or not she’s kissed a frog. A woman should never have to lock her self-worth away in a tower of co-dependence as she waits for some prince to unlock her potential. Instead, we teach our ladies to be their own heroes by giving them the skills they’ll need to face any cunning creature or horrible witch that comes their way." (via shirt.woot)

Mad Mr. Men


When this came out last year I was amused because of the Mr. Men reference but I wasn't watching Mad Men at the time. Now while sitting in front of the TV and nearing the end of Season Two I remembered The Poke's take on these advertising icons. They nailed Sterling.

Goodnight Dune


Illustrator Julia Yu makes me recall how dense Frank Herbert's Dune is and how odd David Lynch's film was with her parody of Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon. (Goodnight Dune via Topless Robot. Thanks for the tip, Kyle.)

Thing One And Thing Two And Thing Three


But our fish said "No, no! Those Things should not be in this house! Make them go! They should not be in here when your mother is not. Put them out! Put them out!" Said the fish in pot. (3Things by Phil Jones; link via Rampaged Reality)

Werner Herzog Reads 'Twas The Night Before Christmas


There he is, our first vision of the famous spirit of Christmas, who judges, God-like, from afar all-year long and arrives on this night only to mete out reward and punishment.

Ryan Iverson strikes again with his interpretation of German director Werner Herzog interpreting children's classics. And my weekend is made! (Link via Nag on the Lake)

The Battlestar Bears Learn About Cylons


Finally Brother Bear and Sister Bear are doing something worthwhile. And Edward James Olmos' Admiral Adama makes one hell of bear.

Caldwell Tanner teases me with entertaining bedtime reading for my kids and then snatches it all alway with his Five Sci-Fi Children's Books parodies at College Humor. Someone please write these.

Why So Curious, George?


The Batman, Curious George crossover did not unfold as well as hoped but, in retrospect, exactly as one would have expected.

Why So Curious, George? by Skeleton-Boy (Thomas Boguszewski).

Note: I found this on a Tumblr site, but I'm not giving credit as they, nor any of the sites they reblogged it from bothered to give Thomas any credit or link to his site, which took me under two minutes to look up. This behavior is rampant on Tumblr and while I like it for discovery, people need to step it up. Seriously uncool.

I Would Not, Could Not On A Sign


Who's got time to read a whole book these days? How about summing it up for me with a few quick signs? Yeah, that's it, I think I get the gist of it. (Green Eggs and Shirt by Dave Graff)

The Very Explosive Caterpillar


On Wednesday he ate through one stick of dynamite, one bomb and one grenade, but he was still hungry... until he exploded. (Very Hungry by zomboy at redbubble)

Goldilocks Is A Villain


"Three little pigs, three blind mice, three bears, three villains, three rows of fairy tale fearsomeness."

I'm convinced, Goldilocks is a villain. A great tee by SeedUvPain, but I don't think it has printed. Too bad.
