This Week in Panels: Week 115
December 4th, 2011 by Gavok | Tags: hercules, panelsOnce upon a time, there were three little comic readers who went to the police academy. And they were each assigned very hazardous duties. But I took them all away from all that and now they work for me. My name is Gavin.
Borderline microscopic week this time around, what with DC taking a siesta due to there being five Wednesdays for the month. I’m joined by the usual crew of David, Was Taters and Space Jawa.
Before I forget, I’d just like to congratulate David on being quoted (as “4thletter”) on the back cover of BPRD: Plague of Frogs Volume 2. Not only that, but he got higher billing than IGN and the other cherry-picked reviewers. Good going, man!
He did get quoted for the first volume too, but that was as “Comics Alliance” so I don’t give a flying fuck. :colbert:

*sigh* I’m going to miss Herc. I hope you’re happy, never-ending event tie-ins, because I’m not.
Since it’s relevant to one of the panels this week, have this.
Everything should be back to normal next week. Meanwhile, check out the Muppets if you haven’t already. It’s absolutely fantastic.
Man, that Flash Gordon was surprisingly badass.
by Dan Coyle December 4th, 2011 at 23:38 --replyI saw “The Muppets” yesterday. Overall, it was a great movie. However, it left me with some Fridge Horror.
Walter and Gary are brothers, and I do not remember the movie once mentioning adoption. This leads to one of three disturbing implications:
– Their mother is a human that gave birth to a muppet.
– Their mother is a muppet that gave birth to a human.
– Their mother is a human/muppet hybrid.
This, in turn, has some alarming implications for when Gary and Mary have children. “Congratulations! It’s a singing piece of watermelon!”

by Gavok December 5th, 2011 at 12:10 --replyI don’t know if that’s Fridge horror or Fridge Humor.
by SomeRandomBookguy December 5th, 2011 at 12:13 --reply@Gavok: Why, oh why, did you have to remind me of that? And why, oh why, did I Google it and find http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Kermit_and_Fozzie%27s_Dad to confirm it?
Family trees in the Muppetverse make my head hurt.
by W4 December 5th, 2011 at 12:52 --replyAll Muppets have the same father. His last name is Henson.
