The Brave & the Bold
Woohoo! They actually showed a NEW episode of the Brave & the Bold on the Cartoon Channel! Not only that, but it had GUY in it! Doing Guyish sorts of things.
It also had Mongul as the bad guy, Bat of course, Guy, Green Arrow, Huntress and Plastic Man as WELL as Woozy Winks, not to mention the Joker, Catwoman, Black Manta and Gentleman Ghost. They were all on an alien planet having a DEATH RACE, to decide whether or not Mongul will destroy the Earth!
God, I love this show.
Batman is being more dickish and driven (haw!) than usual, but fear not, for he has a cunning plan. Anyone who goofs up, gets zapped up to Mongul's War Moon. Naturally, Batman is the only one left, fighting agains Mongul's champion, Steppenwolf. But on War Moon, Ollie, Plas and Guy ALSO have a cunning plan.
Zowie!
And utterly magnificent.

Well crap. I hate this new format. It always ends up cropping my pictures. You can't see it, but Green Arrow is using Guy as the arrow and Plastic Man as the bow, so that he can shoot Guy out of their prison cell to rescue their weapons.
Bah!
One Punch! What a mook!
The Guy-Arrow... I love it!
PS I can see the whole picture by opening it in a different link.
Hi! I couldn't find an email address on your page, so I'm going off-topic here. If you'll forgive me, I have a tongue-in-cheek pitch to make to you.
Greetings fellow blogger! I'm Frank Lee Delano, and you may know me from such information superhighway personal interweb electronic log journals as Justice League Detroit: The Blog, ...nurgh..., and The Idol-Head of Diabolu, a blog for J'Onn J'Onzz, the Manhunter from Mars! What you may not know is that you and I are not the only isolated, obsessive-compulsive comic book enthusiasts with virtual presences, but merely part of a sort of virtual community of same. In fact, emulating actual comic book universes, some such bloggers occasionally have themed "events," a perfect opportunity to exploit the desire for still-mostly-introverted camaraderie and hijack the readership of others. I can speak to its virtues through my personal experiences with "enriching experiences" like Crisis on Earth-Blog and Crisis On Earth-Blog: Super Powers Collection 25th Anniversary! It's splendtafulous!

Alright, enough with the Troy McClure shtick. I personally haven't run one of these shindigs before, but I thought it might be nice to give it a try. Most people receiving this email have already participated, and have at least one DC-centric blog. I'm going to try to expand our circle some more though, and there are enough characters to go around that non-specific blogs can "adopt" to join in. There will also be different MPAA-style "rated" blogs (my Idol-Head is pretty PG, while ...nurgh... is a soft "R,") but I can work to make sure all-ages blogs aren't contaminated with more mature links. My take is to be a bit more interactive by running a "scavenger hunt" where readers can bounce from blog to blog, advancing by answering trivia questions related to a DC Comics character your blog would represent. Right answers would bring readers closer to "a lush scan from an obscure George Pérez pin-up featuring every major character involved in this event," hosted by a site I don't run TBA. For the longest time, I considered giving away stuff, like a complete set of the DC Challenge mini-series, but realized too much trouble and personal information trafficking would be involved. Instead, we'll keep it neat, fun, and coast on the high end of our average daily hit counts.
I've got an example post up at http://nurgh.blogspot.com/2009/11/crisis-on-earth-blog-dc-challenge.html I'll be happy to provide all the necessary art, text and html, making this a free "day off" for the daily blogger. Folks can contribute as much as they'd like, though, preferably at least the trivia questions and correct answer. Also, you'll note the "E" answer of "I don't know/Error Message." This exists to offer confused readers a correct answer should they be uninformed or unable to access a page for some reason. It's also an opportunity to direct readers deeper into your blog for choice material from your archive, so you can strut your stuff. Questions can be as difficult as you want, but please be sure the answers name check a DC character in some way, to adhere to the format. Also, for the love of God, please be sure both your question and answer are verifiably correct.
The plan is to run the event sometime around the second week of December. All I ask is that everyone try to post around the same time, but there should be enough participants that the only problem would be if the "winner" site failed to publish. As I said, everyone will receive a 400 pixel wide detail from the piece, and everyone would be free to post the full image (which I'll host on Photobucket) on their blog after observing a respectable waiting period for the sake of the "winning" blog.
Anyway, thanks for reading this far, and I hope you consider joining in.

Cool!
Wait-- who cool? Me cool? Him cool?
I love your idea, Frank. And yes, you're cool.
I'm cool? Cool! Drop me a line at frankly_delano at yahoo dot com, and I'll get you set up. You've got dibs on Green Lantern, unless for some odd reason you want another hero...
