Friday Fun: Books of Fury
(Not new, but new to me)
This cartoon features a Buddhist Monkey who defends his/her library from book-desecrating Ninjas. Gory (but brightly-colored) violence and bookshelf-ladder chase sequences ensue.
Not everyone’s taste- but it made me chuckle more than once.

Fortunately, we don’t hae to choose.
If they made a cartoon out of Rex, I’d buy a copy.

What is this “cartoon” of which you speak? Rex Libris is a graphic novel, being distributed serially. You can catch the first collection here .

Mark, I’m a HUGE nerd for comics (/comix/graphic literature)and have been reading them for about 25 years. I co-authored a syllabus for an undergraduate course on comics.
I’d love to see Rex made into an animated feature or series.

Well, Warner Brothers has hired a writer to do a screenplay .

I know, but so many good projects orignating from comics have stalled in pre-production. I don’t get excited about ANY projects until they’re at least in production.
HBO was supposedly going to adapt Garth Ennis’ Preacher, but I haven’t heard anything new about that in almost a year.
(I have a friend in Texas who will plotz when he finds out I’ve mentioned Preacher on this blog.)

It’s official, I have plotz’d. It feels good.
