	fiogf49gjkf0d Headlines, shmeadlines, I got yer news right *here*: ~~~ MARSCON 2014 announces: MUSIC GUEST OF HONOR HENRY PHILLIPS and "UNDER THE SMOGBERRY TREES" DOCUMENTARY FILM ABOUT "THE DR. DEMENTO SHOW" PRODUCTION CREW WILL BE ATTENDING/FILMING AT MARSCON 2014! Since the late 90's, comedian & musician Henry Phillips has been performing his brilliant satirical songs at comedy clubs all across the nation. As well the nationally syndicated radio program "The Bob & Tom Show", he has also appeared on "Comedy Central Presents" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live". His award winning semi-autobiographical comedy film "Punching The Clown" is currently available on Netflix and iTunes. He's released a handful of albums over the years, which include such hit songs from "The Dr. Demento Show" as "On The Shoulders Of Freaks", "Talking Again", "Girlfriend", "Alone Again", "L. A. Dream", and fan favorites "Sweet Little Blossom Of Mine", "Fresh Out Of Blues", "Guitar Pill", and "Jerkin' Around". We're very excited to have Henry Phillips as MarsCon 2014's Music Guest Of Honor. (www.henryphillips.com) We are also incredibly psyched to announce that the crew from "Meep Morp Studios" who are currently producing the documentary film "Under The Smogberry Trees: The True Story Of Dr. Demento And Mr. Hansen" will be attending and filming at MarsCon 2014. MarsCon's comedy music track, named the 'Dementia Track' after former Guest of Honor Dr. Demento, has grown to become the biggest annual gathering of Dr. Demento Show fans and performers over the past decade, and we're ready to show the Meep Morp crew how we celebrate our comedy music fandom! They'll be doing a Q&A on the main stage and talking about production on the Demento documentary, so get your questions ready! (www.underthesmogberrytrees.com) Both Music Guest Of Honor Henry Phillips and Meep Morp Studios' attendance are being brought to MarsCon 2014 due to a very generous donation from the comedy music streaming internet station, Dementia Radio, in particular this year from benefactor Wayne 'WildCard' Garmil. So please thank him and Dementia Radio for sponsoring MarsCon's Music Guests Of Honor for 3 years running. (www.dementiaradio.org). Currently pre-registration for a weekend badge for MarsCon 2014 is only $40.00! The price will increase on November 1st, which is 10 days from now. So get your badge before Midnight on October 31st, and spend the extra money you saved buying your badge early on Halloween candy! (marscon.org/2014/register.php) Many more comedy music performers for 2014's Dementia Track will be announced in the weeks to come, so stay tuned for forthcoming updates. For now, get your badge and get psyched for the "Smogberry Trees" documentary crew and Music Guest Of Honor Henry Phillips at MarsCon 2014!

It's been years in the making, but at long last, animation professional Kyle Carrozza (a.k.a.

It's something I've been wanting to do for the past 6 months, and Kyle's busy schedule recently led him to ask for some fill-in one-shot strips, so I jumped at the chance, much like a frog would. Or a raccoon girl in a frog suit would. Anyway, go check it out, it won't confuse you too much, and it has pretty art and funny jokes that I drawed and wroted. ~~~ - LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT Episode #092 - Ceiling Fan Aficionado This Bad Rapport kicks off with a review of the inaugural episode of the "Kyle & Luke Talk About Toons" podcast by Jered “Mr. Tuesday” Perez, who also joins Luke in a recap of this year’s Archon. This week marks the 4th birthday of Bad Rapport, but we’re saving all that kind of mush for the next episode. For now, Carrie recounts her recent trip to the Twin Cities with her husband Josh and Alex the uber-toddler while Ken stands nearby. Then Luke presents her with a gift and gives us an update on his much ballyhooed ‘mixtaping’ project. We also have comedy songs by Nuclear Bubble Wrap, Rolf Harris, and some Halloween goodness from the Nightmare Before Christmas, MC Hammer, the Fat Boys featuring Robert Englund, and Schaffer The Darklord, whose new album “Sick Passenger” is an incredible mix of hip-hop, comedy, storytelling, darkness, and redemption. The sooner you go to his bandcamp page and buy it, the better.
