Night At The Museum

Atomic Robo 2.3 review. IGN also reviewed us, but to be frank, I’m getting tired of IGN. Every review they say the book is good and you should read it, and then rip the book a new one. I’ve had girlfriends like this. It’s just not healthy.  So if you want IGN, you’ll have to go looking yourself.

Comic Bulletin also has a kick-ass review.

And Blair Butler gave Robo some kudos on G4.

But my favorite reviews are always those from random readers. We don’t send them PDFs in hopes they will bring in more sales for us. They just do it because they like Atomic Robo. And that’s really cool.

This just in from the Boston Comic Con folks:

‘Nuff said.”

Hitting shelves the first week in November (I think) is the second installment of my favorite comic book ever- Hector Plasm. Dig on this interview with the creators.
Last week was the Widget’s birthday and we’d decided that enough was enough -no more mobs of screaming kids (and their uninvited siblings) in our tiny house. So we had a movie-party. We rented the Wilton Town Hall Theater for the afternoon and invited the kids (and up to 385 siblings, parents, and second cousins twice removed) to come watch Night of The Museum with us. All in all, I think it went well. Here are some pics.

It’s very “Muppet Theater” inside.

I don’t know any “Emma”. My child is named The Widget.

Every Saturday at 4:30 the Wilton Theater runs a free classic movie. They take requests! (I did not request this one -I’m still recovering from Hello Dolly last week.)

We spend most of Sunday at Canterbury Shaker Village with my mom and some old friends of hers who are visiting from Germany. Seeing Moms McNinja is always great and Hilvy and Georg are a riot. I left my camera in the car, but here are some pics I nicked from the internet. They asked for some Robo comics to take home -and of course all I have are the Vol.2 comps! “Here you go my German friends; Comics about my robot fictionally kicking your ass in World War Two. Enjoy. At least I didn’t actually mention the war at any point.

Speaking of pics, It’s been a long time since I brought my camera with me on my morning walk. I still haven’t done so, but I carry my cell phone and the leaves this week were beautiful. Here are some fuzzy, low quality pictures of them. This is probably what my walk would look like if I were drunk, or had really bad cataracts. Also some fuzzy pics of our pumpkin and the Milford Pumpkin Festival.

These guys were launching pumpkins into the river.

These guys had to collect them.

RANDOM SPLENDOR
