Bye, Claudius. I'm happy to present my review of the final episode of I, Claudius, a show that is as good as television can be, and is more vital to understanding our world now than when it debuted half a century ago.

Part of the fun (or mania, who can say) of making cardbacks for action figures that never received the classic, '90s Toy Biz treatment, is recoloring comic art to match the figure.

I've reached the point in Whatever This Is Going On With My Life that I've spent approximately 8 hours recreating the '90s X-Men Toy Biz cardback template so I can make classic style boards for figures that didn't get them in the '90s. Sure.
