Axe Cop

Speaking of great art ...

My friend Ethan Nicolle, the comic book artist who created Chumble Spuzz, has a new online comic series called Axe Cop.
Unlike his past comics, Axe Cop is not his creation because it all came from the mind of his kid brother. It's a really fun series because you have Ethan's great drawings telling stories that follow the story logic of a 5 year old boy. I love it and apparently it's getting a lot of attention in the online media! Check it out!

Oh, and see if you can find the Piranha Plant, Puffer Fish, and Coins.

Those Darn Kids - The Koopalings

I keep talking about the mini bosses in our new Super Mario game but I can never remember there names. Well here ya go!



The Koopalings are Bowser's 7 kids. Each one was sent out to guard the various lands of Mushroom World, and would use their Airship Fortresses to do so. After they were defeated the first time, Bowser sent them out to guard his castles in Dinosour World. Their latest appearance is in the New Super Mario Bros.
The Koopalings are: Larry Koopa (AKA Cheatsy) is the youngest, but his innocent appearance is merely a facade for his sneaky nature. He loves conning people and cheating. Lemmy and Iggy Koopa (AKA Hip and Hop) are twins, and they both sport the same colourful hairdo. Iggy is the geek of the family, and likes reading books and studying. This also makes him the weakest. Lemmy is the clown of the family, and loves balancing about on his favourite ball all the time. Morton Koopa Jr. (AKA Bigmouth) is a blabbermotuh, and loves talking too much. He's also considered a grouch. Roy Koopa (AKA Bully) is a real tough guy, and loves to beat up his siblings, especially Iggy. Wend O. Koopa (AKA Kootie Pie) is a spoiled brat, and always has to have her way. If she does't get what she wants, she starts screaming and throwing tantrums. Finally, Ludwig von Koopa (AKA Kooky) is the oldest, and also the smartest. He loves inventing and composing music, and is Bowser's favourite kid, at least until Bowser Jr. was born, but Bowser Jr. is not considered a Koopaling.

And then there's this guy, Kamek the Magikoopa.

Roll call?

So, who is here for tonight? I know most of us were out of town for Christmas, but I'm planning on being there with the Wii for games tonight.
