There was a period in animation releases that was *dire* for physical media collectors, that's for darn sure. This one is always my go-to example. Just *awful*.

Received a package from @rifftrax.com today that I wasn't expecting. Inside was a Kickstarter reward I totally forgot about, the Candy Lion Christmas ornament. It is both of higher quality and greater terror than I would have anticipated.

Well shut my mouth. On a whim I looked in an old binder I had in storage and the ancient photos I have of me and my old friend Kevin dressed as @evandorkin.bsky.social 's Milk and Cheese were in there. Here's the best one. Revel in a time before digital photos let you get real clarity!

Has to be the worst brand crossover I've ever seen. How could they not have given us a robot that turns into this?

The earliest Batman comic I can remember owning was the big oversized version of this crossover, which I read until it was literally falling apart.

It's Star Trek Day! My modern Trek fandom is pretty firmly placed in the Lower Decks category, so most of my newer Trek art is focusing on that, though DS9 will always be my greatest love. #startrek #lowerdecks #ds9 #deepspacenine

Favorite dragons in media:
Ghidorah, the animated Smaug, Toothless and Transmetal 2 Megatron are the first four that come to mind for me.
