Hey there loyal listeners. Sorry about the delay but we want to let you know that we're still hard at work recording new shows and refining our technique from deep within our subterranean lair. We've got some great stuff coming up for ya, including the introduction of a new regular segment and our continuing coverage of the burgeoning comic-porn crossover market, all with new and improved audio to boot. We hope you'll feel our audio love spritzing right into your eager ears just in time for Valentine's day.
P.S. Wizard magazine shutting down? Get ready to pour one out for an original gangsta.
Happy M.L.K. Day
Hello there loyal followers. Anthony here. Sorry for the delay, but between real jobs and the my terrible learning curve when it comes to learning new software, the new episode is a little behind schedule. Hopefully this will hold you over until the next show gets posted.

I knew it would help. Archie and Pals
Archie comics certainly have some interesting crossover events...
Real Quick
Anthony Here- What the fuck is this? Anyone?
Bonus Stage!!
Oh hey, we forgot to post this pic last week, but here's the reason for our re-examination of the Poison Ivy vs. Harley Quinn debate. Take a nice long look and let us know what you think...
Bats and Supes... true professionals
Come For the Blog, Stay for the Cast
Hey there favored fans,
Chris here, I came to apologize for our show being late but I see that Anthony has beat me to the punch. I had to work all day Sunday and then decided to take a nap in preparation for that eve's Venture Bros. season finale (you can hear me praise it more on the show). I didn't quite factor in just how long of a process editing can be (Anthony is bit of a perfectionist and he likes to edit out his loud breathing noises which is why some of our shows sound strange).
Anyways, the episode will hopefully be up tomorrow night and I already think it's one of our best, although I generally judge the success of our shows based on how grumpy they make my co-host/sound tech/lovely assistant. Hope you all have a happy Turkey Day and make sure to share the show with your whole family. At least they'll probably stop talking to you.No Show Till Tuesday
Due to Chris being an asshole, no show today. But it has already been recorded and will be up tomorrow for all of you to enjoy. Alright Kiddies, editing time.
Love Luck and Lollipops,
Anthony
P.S. If you see Chris, punch him in the face for me.
Aquabats and RBF
Anthony here.
First off, HOLY FIST FUCK! Chris actually posted something again. Like he said, we went to a killer show last night. If you follow us on twitter, which you should, I posted one pic already. I've got a couple more for all the cadets out there.
I can't believe Chris and I actually got on the floor and mixed it up again. God damn we are old. I'm still sore and my Asics still smell like sweat. I know some of the pics are blury, but hey they're from my phone, and we were there and you weren't so that's the best you're going to get.
Don't pass up the video of The Aquabats fighting one of their many acrh-nemesis.
This Week's Awesome
Hey there loyal listeners, Chris here.
Hey there loyal listeners, Chris here.
So we’re gearing up for our next show and I’m super pumped about all the great books out there to choose from right now. I don’t want to play my whole hand just yet, but Ultimate Thor is just one of the awesome new Marvel books that is really impressing me.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Reallly, it’s pretty hard to screw up the hard-drinking, hard-fighting, and only-occasionally crossdressing Thundergod, but Johnathan Hickman and Carlos Pacheco really hit it out of the park (although my fingers are crossed for an extended bout of flyting to come yet). All I can say is frost giant Nazis. If that doesn’t spark your interest, I just don’t know why you read comics.
I think I’ll save the rest of it for the show, but I have to put it on the record that I’m totally jealous at Anthony’s review this week. It’s a book from one of our favorite writers that the both of us have been looking forward to for a while (I’ll give you all a hint… Magick).
Ultinate Doom looks pretty sweet too... in my head.
Oh, and I hope you’re all keeping up on the Walking Dead TV show on AMC. It’s got the seal of approval from both Anthony and myself, and wasn’t this week’s episode awesome?!
P.S. We went to a killer awesome show tonight, check out our twitter page to learn more!
We've Got A Special Halloween Treat For All The Kids
Just wanted to give everyone the heads up. We've got a special one shot issue of the Funny Pages Podcast for everyone. We'll be reviewing the 'The Walking Dead' series premier. The show will be up first thing Monday for everyone to enjoy. Happy Halloween Everyone. See you back here Monday.
Anthony here-
I always forget, but then quickly remember how much I love Diesel Sweeties come Halloween time. The daily web comic puts out great stuff year round, but the late Autumn dress up runs really high light RStevens's comic nerd art and humor.
Side note: he is also a super cool guy and let me buy a couple of t-shirts with a check back before I was old enough to ruin my credit.Side Side Note: I might not have thought too highly of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, but I was super excited to see the Pixel Skull Tee make a cameo. Hope sales saw a little bump cause this guys is really great.
Happy Halloween Everyone.Off Week
Anthony here. Ahhh the off week. relaxing yet unfulfilling all at the same time. Just finished reading all the books I bought at Wizard World. Read about four or five books a night. It was great.
Be sure to check back next week for our next episode.
Hello VIP members
Chris here just popping in to say AWWW SHOOT!
Our podcast now has over 100 downloads (and rising!) on Itunes, which got Anthony & I totally super pumped. In fact, so rowdy were our emotions that we decided to do the world a favor and record a brand new show, which we'll be releasing later this weekend (Anthony still has some tinkering to do in the lab to remove the ugly from our voices). As a special treat to our loyal fans and loyally-programmed fanbots, we've even had an awesome special guest come in to help us muck around, tell dirty jokes, and discuss the finer points of illustrated jugs.
Our level of shock at passing 100 downloads
So anyways, stay tuned for our next exciting episode of the Funny Pages Podcast, I promise it's more fun than the new Zatanna run!
-Also, we'll be at the Chicago Comic-Con this Sunday, so if you see two frustrated nerds nervously pawing over the entire run of Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, come over and say hi!
Greetings loyal followers,
Chris here. hope you all enjoyed this episode as much as I did (can you get much better than your friend admitting their wrongness on tape and then publishing it to the web?). Anyways, I feel like I went a bit easy on the Scott Pilgrim movie/my dislike for Michael Cera. So sit back and let's take this shit to the streets.
All the best parts of the movie
Michael Cera Is a Tool
Michael Cera, you are obviously favored by God. You are rich, famous, and I'll bet that you're armpit-deep in hipster pussy. I salute you for all this(*brofist*). I still don't like you.
Every time I see a Michael Cera movie, I always feel the same at the end. "Well gee, that was well and dandy but wasn't George Michael from Arrested Devleopment pretty much the same character?? And wasn't A/D way funnier anyways?". I've seen basically your full acting catalog, and I've already seen it at it's best. Why do I want to watch you play increasingly less funny/interesting takes on the same character? Sure sure, Superbad was great, but you were still playing the same awkward, painfully shy, perpetual virgin that I had seen in... well, all your other work.
I can't help but shake the feeling that Michael Cera is but a tool of the movie industry, nefariously placed in film to ensure ticket sales amongst twenty-something, PBR drinking lowlifes who think Thundercat t-shirts are awesome (i.e. you and I). Based on Anthony's review, I suspect those exact words were spoken in a boardroom at Universal. We all know how much it sucks when some of the really cool elements of a book are changed in the transition to mainstream blockbuster (looking you at, Ozymandias). Any film that is going to appeal so strongly to my nostalgic love of all things 8-bit is going to be held to a higher standard of earnesty. Unfortunately, the casting of Cera in the lead role has seriously harmed this film's credibility in my eyes. Sure, I will still see it, and I may even grudgingly admit to liking it (doubtful). But still... Michael Cera? Really? Isn't this move Canadian enough as is?
Sorry Everyone
Hey Everyone, Anthony Here. Due mostly to poor time management on my part, no show today. Sorry. But we'll have a brand new show for you up Tuesday. We hate to keep you waiting, but if you don't like it, you don't have to listen. PLEASE LISTEN! Tell a friend to listen too. OK? We still cool? Maybe this will help hold you over. It's an old report I did back at NIU for NTC News. Go ahead and have a good laugh. You can even point if it makes you happy. I've come to terms with my nerdness.
The Avengers 1952
Anthony here. Chris will start posting real soon. I swear. In case you haven't seen it yet, check out this trailer from The Avengers circa 1952
When I first saw this, I was about to head over to pirate bay and bootle.... I mean my local library and check out a legitimate copy of this wonderful piece of cinema history well worth paying for.
But then I realized two things. One, I'm a moron. Two, it's a premake. There's a grand total of twelve Marvel cameo's in the trailer. I caught ten. To check against the answer key, click here.

Did That Really Just Happen?
Anthony here. Our little podcast is really coming along. We got aproved by itunes earlier today. So now you can just subscribe and get your Funny Pages downloaded automatically; just search for Funny Pages in the itunes store. But be sure to check back on the Blogspot page and Facebook page for the latest news and polls and what not. Don't forget to check us out on Twitter too.
Anthony here. So I had the TV on last night while I was editing together the podcast last night, and Entourage just happened to be on the tube. I don't really watch Entourage all that much, but last night the super hot porn star Sasha Grey was guest starring as herself. OK. It's on, but I'm not paying attention.
Then I hear the voice of the unmistakable Generalissimo Stan "The Man" Lee. Now I had headphones on so I couldn't quite follow the seen, but I'm pretty sure they got Stan to admit that he watches porn.

...Nuff Said
