So...

THIS happened today:

My Flaming C balloon sculpture flew cross-country last night in a box slightly larger than your average coach-class seat and is currently hanging in Team Coco's Flaming C gallery at Comic Con. If I can't be there at least it is, threatening people from above.

Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius

When my husband and I talk about introducing our children to the classics, we mean old Looney Tunes cartoons. Much to our delight, the kids have taken to it like gangbusters, especially the Coyote and Roadrunner ones.

That sign? That's my best impression of a panicked coyote's handwriting.

Batman

After getting grilled by a tiny partygoer a few weeks ago on the subject of superheroes and villains, I decided it was time to work on some cute little party-friendly ones. The kid was all "I want Spiderman! No, Green Goblin! VENOM!!!" It broke my heart to tell him all I had was a second-rate Spiderman.

I'll get around to my new, improved Spidey and some other guys soon but I had to kick things off with Batman because he's my favorite.

Potato Head

I still worry excessively about misspelling "potato."  

Zorak

*blink blink*

I've spent the better part of this afternoon looking up Space Ghost Coast to Coast clips on AdultSwim.com. I especially like these two in which a pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart is pumped for information on late-night tv hosting by Space Ghost, deprived of oxygen by Moltar and threatened by Zorak. Business as usual and perfect examples of why I love this show.

Brak's up next.

Leave it to Beaver to drink all the beer

In celebration of National Beer Day and International Beaver Day:

Pterri (Pee-wee's Playhouse)

Tonight is Pee-wee's HBO show. It's been quite a while since I felt bummed about not having premium channels, but here we are. If you're in the same situation, here's a little something to make you feel better: Pee-wee's Ash Wednesday pageant from CONAN last week. It contains the best stage performance by a can of tuna that I've seen in years.

One last thing: I'd like to thank those who commented on the Pterri pic on my Facebook page using quotes from the show. I know you guys were totally doing the Pee-wee voice in your heads while you typed.
