YouTube Wednesday: Megas XLR Pilot, 1st Ep and more...

If you haven't seen it, just watch it.
You'll thank me later.
If you have seen it, you might as well watch it again here, since it's not rerunning on cable and isn't available on DVD.
First up, the 7-minute pilot (an intro, not the origin)

Then, the first 23-minute episode of the ongoing series, "Test Drive", which IS an origin episode!

Bonus: the complete theme song...

Didn't know Austin Powers had a sister, did you?

Enjoy this titillating tale, written by Stan Lee and drawn by Wally Wood and Bill Ward!

...for now!

But, Pussycat will return...

Design of the Week--Little Red Riding Hood

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...with a new, mature-oriented version of Little Red Riding Hood coming out...

...we thought it might be nice to see a retro, wholesome classic image of the child who outwits the hungry predator.
A vintage illustration suitable for all ages, and emblazoned on a slew of goodies including kidswear, womenswear, mugs, iPhone cases, etc.
Why not go "Secret Chic" and wear it to the theatre?
Better order NOW, before the Big Bad Wolf gobbles them all up!
