Marvel’s Simpsons?

As regular readers know, I supplement my Lego minifigure habit by trawling through knock-off sites that sell them cheap.

Looking through some of the latest releases, I came across these gems:

Is that Homerine and Bartpool?

I guess if Disney buys Fox, this could happen.

Shark!

I have a fondness and a fascination for sharks – Jaws is one of my favourite movies; I really enjoyed Deep Blue Sea and will cheerfully spend most of Shark Week on the sofa, watching documentary after documentary on these fantastic creatures. They’re probably second only to squids and octopuses for me.

Finding the trailer for The Meg has pretty much made my day.

It looks like it has waaaaaaaaaay more in common with Deep Blue Sea than Jaws and I really hope it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it sure looks fun at the moment.

And look – it has a giant squid, too!

Black Canary Tied Up By Sportsmaster – Again!

Been a while since I’ve done one of these Lego sketches; you can blame last week’s search term post for the inspiration.

 

Black Canary Tied Up By Sportsmaster

There: it’s the title of the post. Happy now?

What am I talking about, you may ask? This is a reaction to me glancing at the search terms used by people in the big wide world that bring them to this little corner of the web, in particular, these terms:

There’s a few references to boobs that always crop up ever since I posted this little item back last year, and most of the other phrases aren’t unusual for a comics blog (though “amazon” sounds randomly generic!) but it’s that fourth one down which caught my eye and became the title of this post.

black canary tied up by sportsmaster

That really is quite specific; not only are people looking for Black Canary, they want her tied up; but not only tied up, but tied up specifically by Sportsmaster.

I performed the same search in Google:

No surprise, then, that this blog is the first text result and also the second image result, all because of this post from a couple of months ago. The rest of the results were clips from one animated Batman show or another before getting into the realms of fan-fiction, about which I will take the advice of Earth-2’s Jimmy Olsen.

Fan fiction about Black Canary being tied up? Not for me, thanks.
