The Curator of Schlock #433: The Evil Dead DVDs
Edwige, my longstanding kangaroo companion, and I were searching for the Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #238: Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat
Wrestling is a weird storytelling medium. Most people who watch go from ardent believers of the violence happening in the ring—to the point where many a sibling’s broken bone can be attributed to a swanton bomb off the top bunk—to realizing the artifice when seeing a man having to wrestle his boss in tag team match… Continue reading
