Season’s BLARRGHings.
Artist Kelsey Wailes’ plush critter, Stompadon, is one ugly cutie. Her Kickstarter project just launched to bring the little blue creeper into the world.
Stompadon in NYC! He’s so excited about Christmas!
His Christmas would be wonderful if you help make him a reality.

You may recognize Bill Corbett — or, at the very least, you may recognize his voice — from the popular television show Mystery Science Theater 3000, but have you seen his Kickstarter project yet?
SUPER-POWERED REVENGE CHRISTMAS is a graphic novel using classic Christmas characters as the basis for an assembled superteam who fight off a conspiracy of powerful villains. It’s a comedy retcon of Christmas itself! The story brings the world of pop-culture Christmas characters — think Rudolph, the Grinch, and even those beloved people from “It’s a Wonderful Life” — into the universe of comic book superheroes.
I came into work this morning to find four packages containing Kickstarter rewards sitting on my desk. The timing — getting this the week of Christmas — is impressive, as is the haul itself:
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Robotic Edition
Best of all is the note that came along with the Sammy the Mouse graphic novel, which was written by Zak Sally, who is also the bass player for Low (one of my favorite bands). It reads:
“Yancey Strickler is the best name I’ve heard in ages. Thanks, and enjoy your stuff. Best, Zak”
The Best Christmas Ever
This Christmas-themed short film comes from project creator Kai Winikka, who is now looking to film the next chapter. We hope it brings a little tongue-in-cheek holiday cheer to your day. Wink.
