by 2W 2N May 20, 2013

The “trouble” He-Man is smelling in this 1985 Golden Book is a skunk-man who smells so pervasively of ass that he has to wear a special mask to filter out his own wretched stench.

New Column – The Weekly Scoop!

by Howard Decker May 17, 2013

I used to publish a daily post called the Scoop of the Day (it was “The Daily Scoop” until I realized I had recklessly stolen that title from our friend Dex). As you see, I changed it to something vastly different and near-unrecognizable. The nice thing about The Scoop was that it gave me a [...]

Monday Memorygasm – Tomy Waterful Ring Toss, Bobbing Bird

by Howard Decker May 13, 2013
