You’ve probably figured this out by now, but man, I love Welcome Back Frank.

This panel isn’t technically from Welcome Back, Frank, though, is it? It’s from the next series, when the Russian comes back from the dead.
Hope you are enjoying your vacation, Chris. I’ve tried my best to make Totqally Nude Helen Keller jump in the Google hits, but, to be honest, its just as hard as when I tried to do the same with Totally Nude Abe Vigoda.
*tries to imagine what the sound of WHUNK really sounds like.
I totally agree. I’m re-reading the TPB right now and love every second of Welcome Back Frank. I even like the movie loosely based on it, although I know most don’t.
That movie failed to reach greatness for many reasons, not least because of the severe lack of left hooks to the jaws of cuddly zoo animals.
*tries to imagine what the sound of WHUNK really sounds like.
I imagine it would sound like a car crash at around thirty miles per hour.
I liked that movie, it felt like one of the most ‘realistic’ comic movies I’ve seen in a while. and by comic movie, i mean starring a mainstream superhero, not a graphic novel like Road to Perdition or anything like that.
Where does 30 Days of Night or History of Violence fit into your definition, Danicus? I think `superhero’ movie should be the genre term for super hero movies regardless of source material (so Incredibles and Handcock are the same genre as Spider-man) `comic book movie’ should be used purely as a nod to source lmaterial and shouldnt be used with any specific genre implication (so Road to Perdition, Ghost World, Bullet Proof Monk, V for Vendetta, 300, Men In Black are all comic book movies without featuring any mainstream superheros). I mean, comicbooks are a medium, not a genre so I don’t understand why there’s any confusion. It seams more like a bias advertising decision- and one that we, as broud midned comic book fans should be fighting against- rather than anything (there wasn’t any `based on the graphic novel’ adverts for History of Violence, for instance, in a way aiding the perpetual stereotype as comics=superheroes). Um, oops. Go facekicking!
He probably just said that because something like History of Violence is several degrees more realistic than the most recent Punisher movie. Don’t go flying off the handle, fanboy.
I thought the Punisher (Thomas Jane version) was wonderful, even in spite of John Travolta’s presence. Thomas Jane really captured the character, and they did some good cherry-picking of great moments from the comic.
Though, admittedly, it was lacking in fights in a zoo or the use of tremendously fat people as weapons.
Thank you Andrew W., that’s EXACTLY what I meant.
What flying off the handle? I was just asking a reasonable question. I decided Id save time by saying what my take on the issue was in case anyone was interested, since I asked. How does that make me a fanboy? Im sorry If I seamed rude somehow.
Thanks for your blog, it is so good, I really like it! Its exactly what I was looking for when i searched for Zoo World Cheats – I’ll be a regular visitor from now on!
