SpongeBob Ultrapants (link roundup)



SpongeBob Squarepants as a giant mecha and Squidward as a tentacled monster by Josh Ellingson for an upcoming ten-year retrospective of SpongeBob Squarepants in Nickelodeon Magazine. Lots of tentacled monsters on sale in his webstore.

And a few more links:

1. Batman and Robin by Rafael Grampá. Reminds me of Geoff Darrow. Via.

2. The Sita Sings the Blues webstore is now open.

3. Win Last Exit to Nowhere t-shirts.

4. Quetzalcoatl made out of Red Bull cans for the 2009 Art of the Can show.

Quetzalcoatl (link roundup)



Quetzalcoatl by Troy Galluzzi.

And a few more links:

1. The official site for Where the Wild Things Are is now active (but there's no content).

2. Maryland's women's college basketball team has the motto "Eat Kids." For example, if they're doing well, at halftime, one player will say, "We're halfway through the kids' body now, keep going." Or if the first half didn't go particularly well, "you already had the head, you already had the hair." It's an homage to Mike Tyson's famous line, although he had the class to finish up with a shout-out to god.

3. Chicago homosexuals are tired of women holding bachelorette parties at gay bars. Via these sites.

4. Genuine bomb scare caused by the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch." Via.
