Friday Night Fights: It's a Trap!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, big dawgs and kittykats, it’s been one holy guacamole of a week, and I think we all need a gigantic dose of the Wonderful, Wonderful Weekend to help us get over it. And what’s the perfect way to start the weekend? A healthy meal of eggs and lizard hearts? A high-speed jog around the Loop? Listening to Alfredo Gonzales lecture us about political ethics? I SAY THEE NAY! Everyone get your fightin’ togs on, ’cause it’s time once again for FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!

Today, we’re heading back to October 1977 and Star Wars #4. This was Marvel Comics’ adaptation of some obscure art film no one’s ever heard of, with words by Roy Thomas and art by Howard Chaykin.

Friday Night Fights: Sith One’s for You!

Okay, fact is, I love, love, love Evan Dorkin‘s “Milk and Cheese” comics. Not just because of the horrific violence, not just for the gin-swilling, not just because of the crude and unsubtle commentary on everything irritating about pop culture and modern life. No, I love those little guys’ eyebrows. They’re hilarious.

But the eyebrows aren’t important right now! Because it’s Friday Night Fights! And that means the only thing important right now is nicely overblown butt-whompin’!

But dangit, I just used “Milk and Cheese” last week. Is there any way I could disguise this, so Bahlactus doesn’t think I’m repeating myself? Maybe if we disguise them with some sort of mask…?

Wow, that’s awesome. Only thing that’d make that better would be if Darth Milk and Cheese were beating up on Ewoks. Hey, wait a minute…
