Luke Jackson: Goodbye London (YouTube)
I quite like this video that Cartoon Brew pushed earlier in the week.

It's a Secret to Everybody (Back of the Cereal Box)
You know that lengthy video game name etymology article that went 'round the circuit the other week? Well, it totally linked to my Mappy site.

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is back from the dead (Joystiq)
Wow, I no idea how many hacks were out there doing complete rips on Penny Arcade until I clicked through this gaming webcomic article. Seriously gang, go find your own art style.

Logo Study: AQUAMAN Part 1 (kleinletters.com)
Oooo, another great logo study. This time's it's almost seventy years worth of Aquaman logos! I love reading these.

Trippy Spongebob MTV IDs from Pepper Melon (Cartoon Brew)
Wow, these are some seriously great SpongeBob commercials.

the styrofoam cup king (Angry Asian Man)
Dude etches beautiful works of art into styrofoam cups and then sells them for $200 each. He also does bananas.

In Defense Of The Classic Controller (Kotaku)
Leigh Alexander with a brilliant article about why controllers are good for gaming.

Nightmare Spectacles (Post-Modern Barney)
This is really cool. Dorian found a 1943 comic that featured an adult African-American character that wasn't a disgusting racist stereotype. The important thing is to remember that racist caricatures were very terribly common in the first generation of comics, so finding one from the Golden Age that manages to treat a minority like an actual human being is quite a coup. Black, Asian, Native American... minority groups endured a lot of awful bullshit for at least thirty years of American comics. Whoever did this comic was ahead of his time.
