Rage Issues

Before you think I'm completely insane with this comic, it was partially (or fully) inspired by this actual Disney comic.
Donald Duck used to be a very angry individual, and in all honesty I still think he should be the fighter and not the magic user in Kingdom Hearts.
If you'd like an obscenely hi-def (1349 x 1547) image of Donald in the last panel, right-click on this browser-scaled thumbnail and do your magic.
I enjoyed the living crap out of the Iron Man movie. It stuck to cannon very well, and made very few compromises. The acting was great, the special effects were awesome, and it told a great Iron Man story.
That being said, the secret scene after the credits just about killed everything I hold dear. I won't go all spoilers on you, but for those of you familiar with Marvel history, or their various lines, I'll just say I freaking hate the Ultimates Universe.
See you next week!

It's either about time Geek Central made a Rick Astley joke, or about time that whole meme came to an end.
Obviously you can tell which one I picked.
Now let it be dead.
My Dad's a big Conan fan. And by that I mean in the truest form. He read the comics when he was a kid, read the books when he was an adult, and as an avid fan of all things Conan, he balked at the poorly-handled Conan movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So when the video game "Conan" came out for the 360 in past months, I decided to pick it up.
Dad's been traditionally agnostic in regards to videogames. He knows I play them, he's been known to pick up a controller once in a while for Mario Kart or Goldeneye back on the N64, but for the most part he's never paid them too much consideration. However a recent visit to my place while I happened to be playing Call of Duty 4 opened his interests up a bit more.
With the garbage Hollywood's been putting out lately he mentioned how he'd much rather play, or even watch a video game.
I'm not very far in Conan the video game, after all I only play it on the weekends when Dad comes over to watch, but I thought I'd share this little tale with you, dear reader.
A tale of video games bringing families closer and giving us reason to see each other more often.
See you cats again next Monday.
Quick Thinking.

Enjoy the comic, and then here's something you might find very interesting, followed by the next part of the Mr.Frog stories!
So I opened the window to let some air in and was met with a familiar face upon my windowsill.
"Why Mr.Frog! To what do I owe the honour of your return?" I exclaimed.
"The honour is all mine," Mr.Frog replied. "March-Day is nearly upon us, and since I have yet to locate Mr.Rabbit's elusive home, I think it would be wise to make our preparations early and in earnest! Do you have a hearty stock of icecream-hats and noise-shooters?"
To satisfy Mr.Frog's inquiry, he and I trekked to the refridgerator to take inventory of the available March-Day favours.
"Shutter that contemptible door, you calamitous miscreants! The cold is fleeting!" cried out an aged voice from within my fridge.
"Dr.Sandwich, we've hardly the time for your ill-natured words, we're searching for noise-shooters and icecream-hats, have any gone by lately?" Mr.Frog said assertively.
"March-Day again?" Dr.Sandwich said disapprovingly. "It just so happens that an unruly herd of icecream-hats just ambled into the vegtable crisper."
"Your assistance is noted Dr.Sandwich and your honesty has earned you a seat at the March-Day Ball, but for now we must hurry before the icecream-hats become unusably crisp!"
I opened the cripser and removed the icecream-hats.
Mr.Frog and I began to set the table with music-flavoured candles when I confessed I didn't know March-Day was so near because I had never heard of it before. Mr.Frog admitted that he too knew nothing of March-Day save for the name and so the remainder of the evening was spend enjoying our icecream-hats and watching Polo with Dr.Sandwich.
All in all it was the best March-Day ever.
