Happy Blogiversary to NeilAlieN
February 26th, 2010
We at the Mindless Ones have a particular mythospheric kinship of course to the Methuselah of comicsbloggery, the legendarious NeilAlieN, and would like to celebrate his 10th year in front of the game with a very special party picture (a magnificent piece by Enrique Alcatena, that I had to produce a thinly-veiled reason to post) ganked from the far better tribute the Comics Reporter paid yesterday and the salutary advice a brood might offer their parent.

The promised advice, from marriage.com, which also informs that a 10th Anniversary is a time to celebrate “ideas and symbols”:
The tenth year of marriage celebration is the first of the major milestone anniversaries. As you celebrate this special 10th wedding anniversary, think about the durability of your commitment to one another for a full decade.
Milk The Cat: a blog by Dan White
May 5th, 2009
So My new blog is now up and running. It’s still new and shiny, so be gentle with it. I’ll be updating it with new and unpublished work every couple of days, as well as posting work-in-progress and random shizzle that takes my fancy.
So check it out, won’t you Mindless faithful…
Podcast: Bots’wana Beast’s Velvet Cave of Love
February 14th, 2009
Get your love on!
This is what happens when boys get together and talk about romance. It’s mostly guns and gore though so don’t worry. It’s a long one so I’ve split it into two parts:
Gary Lactus’s Vault of Tymbus #1
January 19th, 2009
I had nothing much to do this afternoon so I thought I’d visit my vault where I keep Tymbus. He’d been in there all week with only Amazing Spider-Man #583, Final Crisis #6 and The Spirit movie for company. In the dark and damp he stewed all week over these limited stimuli. Here’s what he had to say to me:
Finally Crisis #6: so that’s how The Dark Knight returns…
January 18th, 2009
Ah, we come to it late this week, and we also come mob handed. Poor Amy is having to deal with Real Life and couldn’t devote quite as much time to his annocommentations as he normally would. So we multiply, much as do the art teams on this ultimate event comic - if you think of amy as JG Jones, whose panels are the sole ones bordered in sheer black, Zom as Pacheco and I also, the Bots’wana Beast, as Marco Rudy. Perhaps bobsy will write about #7, filling the Doug Mahnke role. (p.s. if you’re expecting amy this week for Superman Beyond, tough shit, because I - that is, the BB - have called dibs on that and wrote about #1.)
As usual all things Final Crisis are occurring out of sequence because of delays and so forth, but let’s not worry too much about that, eh?
into the singulariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiity!

Amypoodle’s special, fighting-good 2008
December 29th, 2008
This list is going to be a little unconventional. It’s going to include things like websites for starters, because, hey, this is the future, and we want to let you guys know we’re not all *old media* here in the dark dimension. Also, it’s going to alternate between an ‘amypoodle recommends’ kinda thing and an actual ‘best of’ list. If it was solely the latter, then I’m afraid it would be rather boring:
‘I went to see Batman at the I-Max and it was reaaaally gooooood’, you know the score. And most of it wasn’t produced this year either. Sorry.
Mindless Ones vs. Pillock: the circle-jerk CONTINUES
December 22nd, 2008
A trout (poached) in (coconut) milk, yesterday. I am a literal mind.
So, our intersphere jizzgame of soggy biscuit has been incredibly successful so far, a fact I find somewhat mystifying, but - go figure - maybe bloggers like reading about blogging. I dunno. I’ve invited Plok or Pillock (which, wow, it used to mean penis, another thing I did nut no - all our British slang means penis, in the end, somehow) from the consistently excellent and engaging A Trout in the Milk to chat. Because we only deal with peoples using the Wordpress, it seems to have worked out, coincidentally.
The Beast’s best of 2008
December 16th, 2008
Ahh Christmas lists. Just what the world needs - my favourite shit from last year. Christmas is cancelled until this is out of the way.
I’m not going to piss around. Let’s get started…
Podcast: Halloween spectacular!
October 30th, 2008
Look at that! That’s The Beast Must Die’s Haunted Mansion. A bunch of us Mindless Ones have just recorded a podcast (NSFW) there where we all talked about scary comics.
We also managed what will be our regular podcast features, Voyage Into The Negative Zone and Touchdown On Paradise Island where we slag things off and praise others respectively.
