Happily Never After

I'm a huge fan of comics, especially the humorous titles. Growing up, I read a lot of Archie, Garfield, Blondie, Beetle Bailey and a whole lot more.

When I got into college, we had to read more textbooks and less comics, so I began to appreciate those one-box comic strips. In particular, I got hooked on Gary Larson's "The Far Side," which I thought was genius. Imagine, telling a funny story with the use of just one frame! Genius!

And speaking of genius one-frame cartoons, I found two strips from "Mother Goose and Grimm" which were perfect examples of brilliance.

The strips actually poke fun at the Disney Princesses, and they use famous American TV shows as reference.

Here's their take on CSI:

And another on Desperate Housewives:

I couldn't stop laughing while looking at these comic strips. I've said this before and I'll say it again, these strips are genius. It's the type of comic strip that's so good, I wish I wrote it myself.

Hello, this is brilliant!

If you've been around during the 80s, chances are, you'll know the classic song "Hello" by Lionel Richie. (Or as today's kids know him, "'Yung daddy ni Nicole Richie.")

While browsing youtube today, I came across this new rendition of "Hello," which was edited by a truly imaginative and creative man. It takes a seed of creative genius, and an eye for execution to come up with a video this brilliant. It's one of those creative moments that makes me think: "Heck, I wish I did that."



I can't wait to see what other videos he'll do in the future.

Bring back the Color!

Just read that Fox is planning a reboot of "In Living Color" this 2012. If this is true, I'm totally watching the show!



"In Living Color" was one of my favorite shows in the 90s. I remember it was being aired on Channel 9, and I would really wait for the show to go on. (Something I rarely do now.)

This show was famous for their hilarious sketches like "Homey the Clown" and the "Men on..." series. They also had unforgettable characters like Andrea Dice Clay and Vera de Milo.



And of course, this show will be remembered as the launching pad of the careers of Jim Carrey (then known as James Carrey), and a then-unknown Fly Girl named Jennifer Lopez.

I hope the reboot will be as colorful as the original show. And with Keenen Ivory Wayans on the helm of the 2012 edition, I think it will definitely be as funny.
