Predators. Kangaroos have a few natural predators. ... If pursued into the water, a large kangaroo may use its forepaws to hold the predator underwater so as to drown it. Kangaroo chilling in the center of a lake. Close up on the kangaroo staring directly at the photographer taking its picture, potentially with designs, as it resides in the middle of the lake.

The cover of Crime SuspenStories #22 which features a body shown from the waist down laying on the floor, a person standing over it with an axe in one hand and a head they are holding by the hair in the other. Above this cover is a question posed about this comic by U.S. Senator Estes Kefauver: “Do you think that is in good taste?” Below the cover is the publisher William Gaines response, “Yes sir, I do, for the cover of a horror comic.”

Garfield comic, in the first panel he is watching tv clicking through channels with a remote control looking bored and sloaching in his chair saying “garbage… junk… garbage… junk… garbage… junk…” and in the second panel he has put down the remote control, is now sitting up straight looking excited with a big smile on his face exclaiming “Trash!”

Tom Atkins in My Bloody Valentine 3D saying “Happy fucking Valentine’s Day,” except that “Valentine’s” has been crossed out and “Tom Atkins’ “ written above it so it is as if he is saying “Happy fucking Tom Atkins’ Day.”

Feels like there should be a movie where 5th and 6th on the call sheet are David Krumholtz and Max Casella playing investigators looking into the events within the film.

Bet he would have had all the parts he needed in the warehouse too.
The death ball sponge. It looks like a squid with points on its tentacles wrapped around a tree of glowing white balloons.
