Fans of @GreyDeLisle reading Trump's tweets as Princess Azula and @PresVillain photoshopping Trump quotes into comics will enjoy Skeletor reciting far-right personality Jordan Peterson's "I'd Rather Die Than Delete Truthful Tweet For Cancel Creeps" response to being banned from Twitter for making disparaging comments about actor Elliott Page. — Read the rest
But wait, there's more!
Let's trawl the old inspirations, the long-ago internet moments whose memetic descendants are million-dollar TV ad campaigns for loan aggregators. When it comes to Skeletor, there are many to pick from. But one always comes back to CKY ft. — Read the rest
A child of the 80s, I recently rediscovered my love of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoons and toys. So naturally, I've done everything in my power to hook my five-year old niece and three-year old nephew too. — Read the rest
For a video promoting an art book, this is unusually fun and funny. To promote the 320-page Dark Horse book The Art of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe, IGN made a promo video starring Skeletor, his evil adversary. — Read the rest
Daniel sez, "The Skeletor Show is in the style of other 'remix' cartoons like Sealab 2021. In this case, it is a re-edit and re-dub of the 1980s Filmation cartoon He-Man and The Masters of the Universe. Each week I'm doing a new show and posting it to YouTube. — Read the rest
If you are having trouble finding love and have a heart full of hatred, ghoulish Stephen Miller may have the advice you need.
This stuff is so weird. MAGAs have bizarre ideas about masculinity and gender roles already, so low-rent Skeletor offering lonely white creeps dating advice is beyond peculiar. — Read the rest
Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Kevin Smith's ambitious and grown-up sequel to the Filmation's 1980s He Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, was deemed too woke and girly by its fans despite Smith's rigorous effort to honor the original's every detail. — Read the rest
Given the wild success of its She-Ra reboot, I'm surprised its revival of He-Man sticks so close to the early-80s original (and the brief turn-of-the-century revival). Variety, with the exclusive, makes clear the promise that not much has changed beyond our hero being "a bit glowed up." — Read the rest
A message from the Arizona Department of Public Safety: "Think you can use the HOV lane with Skeletor riding shotgun? You're dead wrong! ☠︎ One of our motor troopers cited the 62-year-old male driver for HOV & window tint violations on SR-101 near Apache Blvd this morning." — Read the rest
Cleveland's Stephanie "Crochetverse" Pokorny created a freehand, crocheted Alien Xenomorph costume for her (incredibly lucky!) son, Jake, adding glow-in-the-dark fabric paint accents to make it luminescent. It's completely amazing.
Actress and entertainer Carol Lee Scott died this week at 74. Britons of a certain age will remember 1980s' TV witch Grotbags; Americans of any age are in for a bizarre treat.
— Read the restHer character Grotbags was a dastardly pantomime witch, with a bright green wig and face to match.
Due to infrequent but insistent requests for my unpleasant Photoshops of various politicians, I'm putting as many of them as I can remember here in one place. Sweet dreams!
I'd make a calendar but the licensing fees involved would necessitate crowdfunding it, which sounds like hard work. — Read the rest
Fletcher Hanks comics are incredibly violent, incredibly stupid, and incredibly beautiful. His first published work appeared in 1939, only months after the first Superman story ran, and his last work appeared in 1941. Then he disappeared.
All 53 of his batshit crazy tales have been reprinted in “Turn Loose Our Death Rays And Kill Them All!: The Complete Works Of Fletcher Hanks.” They are likely to pop your eyes, blow your mind, and leave you speechless. Shortly before his death, Kurt Vonnegut wrote that, “The recovery of these treasures is in itself a major work of art.”
Kyle sez, "Bumperactive custom sticker shop presents a curated selection of Yuletide media ephemera spanning six decades: The 2014 Holiday BUMPERJAM! Skeletor learns the true meaning of Christmas? Check. Santa vs. The Martians? Check. Nutmeg?! CHECK. When all else is lost and Christmas needs saving, the BUMPERJAM is 100% Guaranteed to change the subject."
This weekend, we hopped into the car and made the 6-hour trip to New York to check out its fast-growing Comic-Con. Since its founding in 2006, explosive growth now makes New York Comic-Con one of the largest such events in the country. — Read the rest
Desperate Mousewives lays the racy dialog from a Desperate Housewives scene over a Mickey Mouse cartoon (both produced by the same company, Disney) — the video mashup is hilarious and deeply weird, and it was produced by Flying Squid Studios–who created The Skeletor Show and Star Trek: Infinitive Split! — Read the rest

Starting Friday 01-10-03, you can bid on a personal aircraft called the "SoloTrek XFV Exo-skeletor Flying Vehicle," to help its designers raise funds for future research. There's a catch, though — the winning bidder on eBay must promise not to use the device. — Read the rest
The worst part of being on a war footing is that it grants corporations leave to recycle dumb, military toys. Case-in-point: Mattel is bringing back He-Man.
