Kim Jong Il kidnapped a South Korean director and his ex-wife and forced them to make movies in the North (and to remarry). The highlight of Shin Sang-ok’s 8-year period directing movies under duress in North Korea is the monster film Pulgasari (1985), a Godzilla-like movie that even featured the stunt performer who portrayed Godzilla as the Pulgasari.

– Dean Pelton as Poison Ivy (And I had to have him be the God awful Uma Thurman version of Ivy, too.)
– Britta as Poison Ivy (YES EVERYONE – I KNEW I had to draw Britta as Poison Ivy.)
– Jeff as Two-Face (Naturally. This Jeff is missing his right arm. Didn’t want to make a big deal about it in the drawing though so it’s hidden behind Brita Ivy. Also note the ironic comment Joker Abed wrote)
– Annie as Harley Quinn (I love that this falls into place nicely. In the show Annie has a tendency to cling to Abed when he’s in full character.)
– Abed as Joker
– Troy as Riddler (I’m a huge Troy fan and always had him planned to be the Riddler, particularly since it’s a nice pair-up with Abed… to my horror, though, it’s reminiscent of that horrible Eddie Murphy Riddler that was being passed around the internets when that ridiculous rumor was going around. Ah well.. maybe there’s some comedy in that. Sorry Donald Glover!)
– Senor Chang as Bane (The only one I was conflicted with because I thought he’d be more of a Penguin type. But honestly, it was so much more visually ridiculous to have him as Bane. Plus he’s SENOR Chang right?)
– Pierce as Mr. Freeze (Still going with bad timeline continuity, Pierce dies.. and I figure a good way to resurrect him is cryogenically.)
– Shirley as Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman (Went the Batman Returns route since THAT Catwoman is crazy.)
…and here they are as the good guys too
The Howard & Nester Comics Archive:
Anyone who has read Nintendo Power since its beginning has, obviously, at least glanced at the little comic strips in a couple of pages of the magazine called “Howard & Nester”, which chronicled the adventures of bowtie-wearing Howard Philips (who was an actual employee of Nintendo and president of the Nintendo Fun Club at the time) and a stubborn redheaded teen named Nester. Together, the two ventured into the worlds of various NES games, gave us a couple of thinly-veiled legitimate tips, and always provided a little bit of humor for us all.
In Volume 25 of Nintendo Power, Howard left the magazine to pursue other goals (JVC?! I’ll bet that worked out well), and left Nester to star in a series of comics of his own. But a few years after, all traces of Nester (and Howard) vanished, and left the magazine to wilt away.
All 21 installments of Howard & Nester are here, along with a few bonus comics thrown in for good measure.

5 short idents we did for E4 on the topic of Christmas. The general idea was to surprise people with something really anti-christmas, and transform something boring into something amazing. It was alot of hard work for a relatively short time but they were really fun to do and much merriment was had by all.
