Freakazoid! tells the tale of a hyperactive teen super hero whose
personality is a bit of Jerry Lewis, Chris Farley and Batman.
The show ran for two seasons from September 9, 1995 to June 1, 1997, with Cartoon Network airing reruns until March 8, 2003, and is available
in full, online (YouTube Playlist). The
love for the show lives on, with
an amateur movie adaptation,
memories from the cast, and
other bits of
show history.

Comic artist Seth Fisher died unexpectedly; this rotten news led to a session wallowing in his
online gallery to see one side of what the world lost. But, with so many comic artists putting galleries online, why wait until someone's gone to appreciate their work? You could admire the energy in
Mike Wieringo's figures, or the stylized coolness of
Cameron Stewart. You could bask in the freaky genius of
Mike Allred, or scratch your head and wonder how
Phil Bond's characters feel so real with such weird proportions. You could look to the future with
Ryan Sook, or, if you're more into the retro thing, there's always the old standby
John Byrne.

Mike Allred, maverick comic book auteur, has plied his pen on such notable series as
Madman,
The Atomics,
Red Rocket 7, and *ahem*
X-Force.
Now, Allred, a long time member of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, has turned his attention to
The Golden Plates, a 12 volume adaptation of
the Book of Mormon (earlier discussion waaaay back
here), God's revelation to
Joseph Smith. Pick up a copy at your local comic book store or Mormon book store, crank up
Low's
Secret Name, and geek out, Mormon-style.
