Comic book/pop culture blogger (and Christmas lover), Chris Sims, discusses the G.I. JOE Christmas episode “COBRA CLAWS ARE COMING TO TOWN” at Comics Alliance…

Don’t feel like all the reading? Then just watch the 80’s Joe awesomeness here:

Santa, NO!

Santa, NO! is “An advent calendar of unpleasant Santa antics, with the occasional uplifting/confusing Santa action shot….Y’know, for kids.”

FROG OF THUNDER
