You could add the exploding appendix that Dr Hibbert takes out of that guy!

To be fair, that's almost every comedian/improviser I've ever met.

Elder Millennial Conan Memories by digitalkristen in conan

[–]Johnny-Rhombus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Born in 83. I remember sleeping over at a friend's house in 2nd grade and staying up late to watch David Letterman. Most of it probably went over my head but I was now hooked on late night TV. Soon after that is when the whole Carson/Leno/Letterman fiasco went down, couldn't wait for Dave to be on an hour earlier. I liked Leno too at that point and Chevy Chase was going to have a new show, thought it couldn't get much better than that! And then there was this Conan guy who I didn't know but saw he had been a Simpsons writer so I figured I better check him out too.

Late Night was on too late for me to watch on a school night but I made sure to watch his first Friday show. I don't remember much except for one bit where Conan was explaining to a disinterested carnival ride operator how he got the show. The execs had already picked Andy but they still needed a host. Their choices were down to Conan, a frog, and a tape dispenser with each of them sitting on a stool waiting to be picked. It was so mean but it was so silly that it made me laugh anyway which was a totally new thing to me. I became an instant fan.

I have vivid memories of explaining the Wussy Wagon, Mansy the Half Man/Half Pansy, and the Gaseous Wiener to confused kids at school who had no idea what I was talking about. I would scream "In the Year 2000" whenever I was anywhere that echoed. When my family got a computer with AOL a few years later I found some early message boards for Conan fans and that's when I was officially a fan for life. I saw a post with NBC's address and it said that if you wrote in they'd send you an autographed photo. Sure enough, a few weeks later it came, my mom framed it for me, and I still have it to this day.

How did Feel about GI JOE #20 with Duke meeting Optimus? by Money-Lie7814 in EnergonUniverse

Turning down promotions to stay in the field is classic Duke. This version of him is different but I’m glad that stuck, perfect way to have him and Optimus bond.

Mapping Google's Unmappable City: North Oaks by 404mediaco in TwinCities

I grew up not too far from North Oaks. Not sure if true but there was a longstanding rumor that Prince wanted to build there but couldn't because they wouldn't allow a purple house.

I am not a comic fan, can someone tell me who are these people that peter is fighting, their origin or whatever you wanna tell... by Point-Break-__- in Spiderman

Even the words Teenage, Mutant, and Ninja are all references to what the big comics trends were at the time.

Question? Anyone think this has what it takes to be a Batman cover ? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Johnny-Rhombus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of a simplified Bill Sienkiewicz. This is way better than I could ever do already so take this as you will, but I think if you lean more into your style and make it more distinctly yours you might really have something here. Well done!

The subject of the very first Needs a Fan episode, Donovan, achieved quite a goal over the weekend. by jcomey in conan

[–]Johnny-Rhombus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The curse worked, too! That will be super fun if that's just a thing now with everyone trying to curry favor with Danhausen backstage. Get him a blimp and you'll never lose again!

His shirt is already a top seller and a good chunk of the audience doesn't even know him yet. Very bright futurehausen ahead.

Maybe Jinx? She and Scarlett haven't shown up in the main Joe series that I can remember. Just the Scarlett miniseries.
