Click [HERE] to hug Grimlock.
We really liked this comic.
Many pics after the cut.
Zuey loves the Cryptkeeper.
Even Legos are cooler in Japan.
Zuey's new boyfriend.
I wish I owned this for cocktail parties.
Even Godzilla is having trouble in this economy.
Someone ripped off a Super Street Fighter II arcade machine!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Bees!
"Listen, brother!"
Ooooo Jem! Jem is excitement! Woooo Jem!
Mickey is not looking so hot these days.
Oh man, Nazi dolls.
She's gothalicious with cheese.
Mayor McCheese is terrifying.
Zuey is going saiyan!
Mike knows what a quality timepiece looks like.
Zuey's also in love with this He-Man guy.
Ben Stein's nightmare.
Errrrrr...
Uh, what?
Oh yeah, this is my favorite kind of copyright violation.
This is why Mike is an engineer. No, really!
Jack Bauer is screaming in pain/rage/lust/something?
Yes. Choppers should be made out of wood. Of course.
Oh yeah, and I got Masterpiece Grimlock and he assaulted Zuey's dog.

I've been repeatedly scanning the local TRU's for grimlock. People are ravenous for this guy. One time, I hadn't even reached the aisle when an employee said to me, "We don't have grimlock."
Zuey loves mantenna.
Oh yeah? How much does Shogun Godzilla normally go for?
As for Grimlock, Jesus Christ. This dinosaur was hard as hell to find.
I got my shogun godzilla for about 100, and I'm sure that a diligent, patient surveying of ebay could eventually turn one up for less.
And grimlock...I've never felt so predatory about a product, as a consumer. I'm on the hunt. I'm prepared to sink my teeth into flesh.
Love is a pretty strong word. Shortly after that picture was taken, I put mantenna down, and did not even give him my number to call me, citing "lack of cel phone" as a lame cop-out response.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
You're Hellbunny from Masterforce.Org, aren't you?
-R78
No seriously. Me? Look you. There IS more then one girl on the internet. Who is this hellbunny? Do I need a showdown of highlander-ish proportions?
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Hellbunny was Ginrai's partner in the late Masterforce.Org that he once made. She used to write poems & some weird commentaries about rape fetishes on that website. Hellbunny's similar to your persona, so I'm gambling my chips to assume that you're Hellbunny.
If you're her then it's an honor to greet you at last.
-R78
..What if I'm -not- her?
Choose your words wisely, knave.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Zuey is not Hellbunny. Hellbunny is my ex-girlfriend. She did have her picture on Masterforce.org quite a lot and she doesn't really look like Zuey. She looks like one of the girls Zuey would lock up in her room and mangle.
Dude, it wasn't a race thing; I just said "hello" to the guy and he's like
"hiletmetellyouaboutmy comicsitscalledhoodman itslikeyouknowthex mentheyallwent toaschooltheseguysall liveon
thestreetandtheydon tgotoschooloranything itsallaboutblacksuperheroes theyhavelotsofrealissues likeOscarGrantand--" and I'm thinking "dude, chill, I get that you're excited and nervous but at this point I'm just being polite, because I don't want to crush your enthusiasm by just turning away and cutting you dead, plus which your premise is right out of the mid-nineties Image line and your art is a typical webcomic: homunculus proportions, no shading at all, and lines so thick it looks like you drew it with a Sharpie."
(Not that I'm any kind of artist at all--my stick figures don't even measure up to Order Of The Stick.)

Artists absolutely live on attention. Putting yourself out there, in public, with a comic stand no less, is tantamount to opening a kissing booth when you have self-esteem issues and figure your crippling intimacy deficiencies might be alleviated this way..
And look, man. You were obviously his main demographic! he wanted to show pasty white suburban type guys the true spirit of the inner city drama, in a superhero format they could relate to. He was trying to bridge a gap.
I feel sorry for you fools you could not see the nobility of his quest.
Tsk.
TSK.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Oh, we didn't actually think it was a race thing with you (it's just funny to say that), we thought it was a guy spewing words at you a mile a minute about something you don't care about, namely THA STREETS. I couldn't figure out why he latched onto you. This is why when we were tabling in Portland with Homeless Dinosaur at our booth, we just sat that and watched parents get horrified when their children read the signs we wrote. If a potential customer wants to talk to you, they will. Nothing I hate more than going into a store and having some asshole try really hard to help me. I'll talk to you if I want something. Otherwise, bug off.
Thanks for that podcast last year that inspired me to check this venue out this weekend. The early bird special was definitely the way to go. I ended up with a Gasaraki Shinden Kit, an SD Hyper Mode God Gundam vs Master Gundam Set, a clear yellow Exkaiser fig by Yujin, and two Zero-Section Armed Constable figs all for really decent prices. I, too, was eyeballing that Japanese lego robot set. Keep up the good work, guys.
Glad you have fun at the show! If you go again, you should come say hi to us. Glad you got some cool stuff!
I take offense to Jeremy's comment that Steven Segal is the only martial artist action hero that can get away with being fat. Clearly Jeremy has never heard of Sammo Hung, a contemporary of Jackie Chan's, who was also fatty and could kick ass far better than Steven Segal. If you want to see how much this guy kicks ass, I would definitely recommend films such as Pedicab Driver, Wheels on Meals, Eastern Condors and Ip Man 2 (his most recent work).
I have always wondered what Zuey looks like, always imagining her as a radiant and statuesque beauty with iridescent hair and her pictures do not disappoint. I fell in love with her melodic voice and carefree personality and now that I have laid eyes upon her wonderful visage, I feel that I am falling in love all over again. Zuey, you are beautiful.
Pedicab driver has some of the best fatwork I've ever seen. Its lightsaber scene alone is better than the entirety of the scott pilgrim movie.
I got this strange, morbid sensation to get Michael Cera beaten to death.
...Does this mean you're my boyfriend now?
Hahah, I am kidding, this means you're my slave now.
Thanks for thinking I am pretty!
I feel like my picture with the crypt-keeper really caught my "disgustingly twisted expression of horror" type of cuteness.
:D
:O
Wow, that really made my day.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Hi, internet guy.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
ha ha ha, that was funny. Wow so we finally get to see Zuey and Mike. Zuey is definetly funny and care free. Thats what I love about her and she speaks her mind and talks about eating garlic and farting :B ha ha Good stuff, Im at work cracking up.
I'm not sure which is worse, that I was talking about my evil garlic farts, or that is genuinely amused someone.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Mantenna was part of the Horde which became part of She-ra. I used to have that toy. I also the Horde slime which ruined everything it touched, mainly the shag carpet in my room.
Zuey best get off mah Grimlock, ho.
PS: Mike should join the beard club, just sayin'.
....NUH UH YOU DI'INT.
You did NAWT JES BE TALKIN BOUT MY BEAU SWEETIE GRIMMY POOPSIE POOPS.
HE LOVES ***ME***
You BEST be shuttin up yo &#$%in &!%@#-@$$ mouth fore I get my official naruto-brand ninja paraphernalia and DESTROY YOU WITH IT.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
At least pick one of those good Chinese cartoons to destroy me with.
Interesting thoughts on the TRU toy scalpers. They wouldn't get what they get if people didn't pay it because OMG MUST HAVE EXCLUSIVE HUNK OF PLASTIC FOR CHILDREN.
(Or just put some metal in it, and environmentally unsound styrofoam and call it "An Adult Collectible".)
Its pretty neat how Zuey and Mike pretty much match their voices and personalities too.
(Course now Z has probably got herself her own fetish kink for Fandom Secrets to talk about with the whole wantin to do Grimlock. The question is with or without his silly comic book gold crown on?)
A fun if short show this week. I needed it longer. Have the Flu or one hell of a bad Cold that popped up out of nowhere and am amazed I can actually stand upright for more than 2 minutes at a time.
After last week's show we need to get you guys playing Dungeons & Dragons, preferrably the 80s version and as the cast of the cartoon show.
I'd listen.
I will convey your wishes to Jer. :D
I would TOTALLY love to do a D&D podcast, and am willing to complain heartily about it.
As for the grimlock thing- there are two versions of the toy, I'm sure you know. Since I am a switch, the crown and waiter version would both be appreciated on nights me and grimlock want to spice up our relationship with role-play.
...
Good god, I am insane.
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
Every dork worth their salt has. I think I enjoyed the 8-bit theater rendition a bit better though.

Zuey is finally getting the fan mail she always wanted!
All she had to do was post a picture of her licking a He-Man figure.

Wishes CAN come true!
All at the low, low price of your dignity!

The con sounded like a lot of meh but you seemed to have fun despite the guests sucking. Last time, I got caught in a con that bad, I stayed in the comic dealers room till I found something worth buying. Paid off as I managed to collect a mint copy of Onslaught: Marvel Universe! As an aside, the He-Man figure Zuey (nice pictures, BTW) is holding is Mantenna.
Good podcast as always, Jeremy.
I think that J&Z (and me, when at the show) were sort of bemused by the notion of there being guests at all. Because it wasn't a "con", it was a "toy show". It's like having celebrity guests at a flea market. Or, conversely, it was like a con with nothing but a dealers' room.

"All the dogs in this sector have turned into red monsters!...don't tell me that it's impossible!"
So do you feel it should have been one or the other? Toy show or Con with Guests?
- My opinion of you is important to me. However, your opinion of me is not.
It really wasn't a con at all. It existed to be a place to buy toys, comics, and other collectibles. Guests were a total afterthought. I don't think anyone would even notice if they dropped the guests.
Were the guests always in the line-up from the get-go?
- My opinion of you is important to me. However, your opinion of me is not.
I would do dirty things to Neo Robot-1
I would like to mention, despite the apparent and gut-twisting alarm that a miniature, plasticized ghoul of the undead presents to me... I still had the presense of mind to hold onto my soda... LIKE A MAN!
..Thus ensuring my place in the annals of history as "a chick who can hold onto her soda in the face of true small-action-figure-horror".
Well, basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to kill you.
