Wind in the Willows, live-action style

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Wim Lockefeer

In 1994, British cartoonist Brendan McCarthy was asked to create concept art for what should have become a fantastic movie version of The Wind In The Willows, with people instead of anthropomorphic animals. I love the phrenology of the different … Continue reading →

No, Not That Lone Ranger

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Wim Lockefeer

I was browsing a fairly local record store when I came across this ditty from the early eighties, that is currently being re-released on vinyl. I guess it’s totally unrelated to a certain movie that does not seem to be … Continue reading →

First Class Stamps (3) – It’s A Bird!

Posted on August 15, 2013 by Wim Lockefeer

You’d think that super-heroes make a good theme for post stamps. After all, even the blandest version of the man-in-tights is iconic enough to appeal to a great audience. Not so, though. Naturally, there are stamps galore from the “exotic” … Continue reading →

Posted on November 24, 2012 by Wim Lockefeer

Asterix at the beach

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Wim Lockefeer

On our way back from holidays we passed through France and I couldn’t help but notice that Total was doing an Astérix-themed campaign in which you can save up for a set of rather garish beach towels.  Nevertheless, I had … Continue reading →

Y: The Last Man

Posted on July 14, 2012 by Wim Lockefeer

Christian Cardona just beat Hollywood’s development hell and made a film version of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s heavy-duty comic book Y: The Last Man.  It’s very (and I mean, very) impressive, and manages to translate the quite far-fetched premise … Continue reading →

Vader is a good dad!

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Wim Lockefeer

The lovely Jeffrey Brown has a new book out from Chronicle, a picture book about Darth Vader’s attempts at being a good dad.  It’s a sweet book, thoroughly clashing with the Star Wars canon, but all the more recognizable for … Continue reading →

The excellent science fiction and pop culture site Tor presents The Real Struggle for the Heart of Alien by Faith Erin Hicks (Demonology 101 and Zombies Calling), a thoughtful and creative one-page analysis of what Ridley Scott’s seminal film is about.  And she’s … Continue reading →
