Well, it’s out. A longer, better trailer for Where The Wild Things Are. It’s based on a much loved children’s book, directed by a much loved director, heck, credits were designed by a much loved graphic designer. Prepare for the collective nerdy-net to break the internets, or something. But I have to admit… [...]

We always wondered…
July 30, 2009 – 8:29 am
Because too many people think all nerduo do is funny websites where you fill in the gaps, we decided to follow up with… a T-shirt. Yeah, we’re not really sure where that train of thought came from either.
Nonetheless… If you liked the G.I. Joe cartoon of olden days, check out The Battle. If you hated [...]
Jumbled
June 30, 2009 – 12:55 pm
Via the Fantagraphics blog I just found out about this amazing show that once again finds me in the wrong state of mind, er, residence. Jeremy Eaton’s Cartoon Jumbles are exhibited at the Secret Headquarters comic shop and gallery, located at 3817 W. Sunset Boulevard, in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles starting this Friday, [...]
Full of Pryde
May 15, 2009 – 11:01 pm
Through work, I’ve become more exposed to art. Art and me don’t necessarily don’t get along, but we definitely didn’t work hard at hanging out more than once in a blue moon. Work has cultivated a bit of taste in art in me (somewhat random, mostly minimal, but still hard to describe) but more importantly, [...]
Not dead yet.
May 6, 2009 – 5:35 pm
I seem to always make one of these posts (often with the same title) at some point in my blogs’ lifespans (usually towards the end). However, this post shall not function as a Horseman of the Blogpocalypse for irrg! orrrg! Nay. Verily. Or something.
I’m currently dealing with the tail end of some excessive workload and [...]
Triple dose
March 17, 2009 – 8:36 pm
You already know you’re going to see a wave of publicity for Star Trek. Just like the Internet’s obsessions with Watchmen (and blue wang) you already know you won’t be able to avoid it. Might as well embrace it, right?
Here’s a triple dose of Spock.
First off, Take one part Warhol’s Marilyn and one part [...]
How do you make the Venture Brothers even better?
March 17, 2009 – 8:27 pm
How do you make the Venture Brothers even better? Add Veteran comic book artist / painter Bill Sienkiewicz to the mix. Bill did these illustrations for the Venture Brothers Season 1 DVD Set.

New Math is new. And clever as hell. Updated every monday.
Holy shit, Riker!
March 4, 2009 – 9:07 pm
At the risk of sounding like a Trekkie (but seriously — what blogger would not post this?), I have to share this one: MightyGodKing’s latest Photoshop Marathon tackles the insane metric f—load of licensed Star Trek novels.
irrg! orrrg! on twitter
March 4, 2009 – 11:24 am
As I am trying to extend my vast media empire to more a point where my regular subscribers can be counted on more than just my fingers and toes, I’m going to be shaking things up a little bit with a twitter feed for short news and some tweaks to the content.
For starters, check out [...]
Everybody do the Batusi!
February 27, 2009 – 9:07 pm
Supposedly invented by Adam West for the 60s Batman show, the Batusi (a not-so-clever pun on the Watusi) weaseled it’s way into pop culture thanks to it’s appearance in Pulp Fiction as “the dance John Travolta and Uma Thurman perform at the Jackrabbit Slim’s dance contest”. Batusi definitely sounds better than that mouthful.
Inspired by Mike [...]
So who’s on First Second?
February 21, 2009 – 9:25 pm
In the last few months I’ve seen a few articles pop up about First Second. A recent example is the announcement that Scott McCloud, of Understanding Comics, Zot! and Google Chrome comic fame is joining First Second.
Prior to that, I found out that Paul Pope’s next book, Battling Boy, will be published by First Second.
Leaving [...]
Insert cover-related pun here.
February 21, 2009 – 9:05 pm
Covered really is a wonderfully fun project; there’s a ton of artists, famous and not, that I would love to see do this as well. Above: Jeffrey Brown interprets Wolverine.
The best Scott Pilgrim Vol 5 review
February 21, 2009 – 8:49 pm
I had fully intended to write a decent SP Vol 5 review myself, but I found that Abhay Khosla at The Savage Critic already wrote what is probably the best review that you’ll find. And for once I decided to not explore my own journey into blog post mediocrity.
Abhay identifies the point in the series [...]
Brain Crack
February 21, 2009 – 2:04 pm
Something of a ring ring, but this episode of The Show By Ze Frank — recently unearthed by the lifehack/productivity bloggers —
really identifies a problem that has plagued myself and many other creatives (artists, designers and coders alike): letting ideas loop in your head until you’ll never execute them because your expectations will never match [...]
Conflicted is an understatement.
February 16, 2009 – 8:38 pm
Note: I wrote this as a post for Geekocracy, as I’ve been trying to steer the irrg.org ship towards more diversified grounds. But, for some reason I liked it enough to post it here. Clear case of misjudgment on my part.
You are usually able to trace back addiction to a specific moment.
For me, it’s [...]
Big fish eat the little fish
February 3, 2009 – 2:38 pm

Scenes From An Alternate Universe Where Saved By The Bell, Rather Than Law And Order, Became The Dominant Television Franchise For A Generation
January 31, 2009 – 1:38 pm
One might say that with that title, enough has been said.
I can’t believe I forgot to post this.
January 31, 2009 – 1:31 pm
Sitting in my bookmarks since it was published on Chris’s Invincible Superblog (hey, what’s in a name?)…evidence that Jim Balent (former artist of the then gravity-defying-bra owner Catwoman) writes…interesting plot points. Yeahbuhwuh? And yes, this is from a real comic book.
