Who Are You?
Edward Packard invented the "Choose Your Own Adventure" genre, which made him a good living -- and still does. According to wikipedia, he recently started a company to bring Choose Your Own Adventure apps to the iPhone and iPad. Packard may also have caused an entire generation of kids to be confused about their identity: |  |

The Adventures of Mark Twain
We had some weird Zappa claymation not too long ago. Now we get some based on the work of Mark Twain.
Disregard the label on the clip above. It's really an excerpt from this full-length film.
Part 1 of the whole film follows:

Veronica in Wonderland
I presume that Archie is not hallucinating here, and that Veronica's Alice-like abilities are canonical, part of the Riverdale continuity. And I look forward to her future exploits.

Crystal Eyes
"I can smell the stench of chaos!" A line worthy of Spinal Tap. Nobody rocks like the Swedes!

Two Words: Bacon Tree
This video is humorous, but I don't think it would normally be considered Weird Universe material. However, knowing how we all feel about bacon, I couldn't resist posting it here.By the way, I noticed there wasn't a Bacon category, so I took the liberty of adding one.

Hot Stuff and Old Forky
As we observed in this prior post on Harvey Comics, the stories told about Richie Rich, Casper and the gang were frequently weirder than any Grant Morrison or Warren Ellis tale. Here's one from Devil Kids Starring Hot Stuff, Volume 1, Number 6, May 1963, that illustrates my point. You can read the entire five-page story at the end, but I've included some single panels to make my points.
They just don't write 'em like this any more.

Follies of the Mad Men #94
Are you as grossed out as I am by the thought of rivers of cow's milk running through the countryside? What if you fell into one?!? Yuck! And what's at the source of these streams? A giant cow being perpetually milked? Double yuck!

So if you've ever longed to see Lois Lane, Lana Lang and Lori Lemaris lasciviously licking lollipops at a London landmark, why not have a look-see at Neill's A to Z of Awesomeness. You'll love it!
