Conquering aliens
Earlier this evening, I finished listening to Mykle and Gesine's Xmas card, which was a half-hour audio play (on CD) entitled The Martians Conquer Santa Claus! Very silly but fun, featuring an exploitative Santa Claus, an average all-American family, and the triumph of capitalism, all sponsored by Individually Snack-Wrapped Gluten's Glazed Ham Snaps—"When you're out of Gluten's, you're out of Christmas!"
And then Amy pointed me to Anne Frank Conquers Moon Nazis, a very silly (and rather blasphemous) webcomic. Fun! I don't normally like this strong a cartoony look, but I think it works well here. Unfortunately, the series stops abruptly after episode 17 (apparently a third of the way through the planned storyline); I hope it continues sometime. Sample quote:
Maybe the Doc is planning to take over the world with his own harem of brutally lethal, genetically engineered, super-hot cybernetic teenage girls?
The same artist appears to have been working on a really excellent-looking Peter Pan webcomic which was supposed to launch December 27 but apparently didn't. Hope that happens soon.
