I'll give you mad props if one of your forgotten mascots is Kemco's Kid Klown!

Yeah I liked The Far Side a lot, too.  When I worked in an office, I had many a Far Side calandar.

I went to UT in Austin for college, and the guy who created Bloom County, Berkeley Breathed, also went there and majored in the same school of Journalism that I did.  So they liked to brag about him a lot since he won a Pulitzer Prize.

Calvin and Hobbes is a work of art.  And even though it's not really funny anymore.  I still like Garfield.  Garfield was a big part of my childhood.  A lot of people say Jim Davis sold out, and he kind of did.  But at least back then, he sold out to high quality companies.  For instance, the Garfield cartoon was done by Film Roman, who would later do The Simpsons.  The Garfield animalted speicals would always win the Emmy that year they came out, too.  And food products like Garfield fruit snack and ravioli were actually REALLY good!  Only bad thing is my old cat Chekov back then didn't like the Garfield cat food.  I was such a big Garfield fan as a kid that I was kind of mad at Chekov for not liking it! :)  Chekov only liked one brand of cat food and it was called Happy Cat.

You know, you'd think I'd be really into comic books, since I like things like video games and cartoons.  But I've never really gotten into them.  I've tried a few times in my life, but they just didn't stick.  It's too hard to get to a comic book store and if you want to keep up with a series, you have to keep buying them and the money can add up.

The closest I've gotten to being into comic books was when I was a kid and learned that the DuckTales cartoon was based off of old Uncle Scrooge comics by Carl Barks.  Then for a while I bought some reprints of old Uncle Scrooge comics to learn more about them.  As well as other Disney Afternoon cartoons turned comics, because I really liked them, too.

Most of my knowledge of comic book characters from Marvel or DC usually only comes from the movies, LEGO games, and Marvel vs. Capcom titles.  Heck, the only reason why I said She-Hulk was my favorite Marvel character is because I thought she was cool in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  Before then I didn't even know there was such a thing as She Hulk!

What's strange is that even though I never really got into comic books, I have a strong interest in newspaper comic strips.  Always have really, ever since I was a kid.  I love learning about old coimic strips from the early 1900's like Little Nemo in Slumberland, and I've always liked reading newspaper comics like Peanuts, Garfield, Dilbert, and Calvin & Hobbes.  I really miss newspaper comic strips.

Aw, you're going to play Zack & Wiki?  I love that game!  It has a lot of personality and is one of the last Capcom games that had that classic Capcom feel to it.  I dunno, it's hard to describe.  One word of warning: Zack & Wiki gets REALLY HARD!  Now, granted, I was able to beat it, but I think it was one of the hardest games I've ever finished!

I think Zen Studios gave out Fish Tales for free when you downloaded the Pinball FX3 hub.

That Medieval Games sounds like Wii shovelware.

I wonder if that Dr. Dude pinball game is the same one I reviewed on Pinball FX?

Now that I've seen all of the Baby Yoda Show, the only "new" thing that interests me on Disney+ is that they'll be airing all five seasons of the original Muppet Show starting in February.  

Speaking of Disney+, if you want to watch some cartoons I really liked as a kid and preteen, check out DuckTales, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck.  Did you ever watch those back in the day?

Cris Tales should be on all current consoles when it's released.  I'd check and see if you can still download the demo and try it out for yourself!

I won't be participating in BaD again this year because writing 3 game reviews a week at GamerDad.com is enough for me.  Plus I want to concentrate on taking care of my mom while she recovers from breast cancer surgery.  But I'll still read everyone's blogs and post comments if I can think of something intelligent to say.

Me too!

I've never felt compelled to try a Fire Emblem game.  Just not into SRPGs.
