blog post Today on Lanarama: Movember Monday! Prostates & Jersey & Comics, Oh My!

Lana, you (and the graphics team) consistently outdo yourselves in hilarious fashion. "Let's put a little tree on the mountain, riiiight..there. It'll be our little secret."

Never was a big comic kid in general...I did (still do) love Asterix, who has a mustache, same as his warrior friend Obelix. Captain Haddock from the The Adventures of Tintin has a pretty solid beard.

My son is growing a lip sweater too!

I'm still a fan of comics but I haven't gone to the comic store regularly because my radio show is on Wednesday mornings.

The last comic I purchase is Captain America. I hope to make it out to the comic shop this week. :)

Oh! Listening via the CBC Radio app on the iPad and happy that iOS 4.2 is out. No more leaving the app on if I close it. :)

i never got into real comics, but spent countless hours on a treasure trove of archie digests and mad magazines from my older siblings.

Why can't I see Bob Ross without thinking of Gavin Crawford?

I have been a fan of the Fantastic Four since I was a kid, I could walk into Forbiden Planet and walk out broke every time so I don't go very often.

Oliver Queen, better known as Green Arrow. :)

A couple pictures of my collection, just for funsies:

One.

Two.

(I was going to make one my profile pic, but I couldn't change it from me & BatCraig)

That guy was the best. BTW Lovin' the great comic book character suggestions!

and yes, that is a Small Sins foam hand, for Kevin "The Clapper" Hilliard in the second picture.

I'll stop comenting now.

I also tend to think of Tony Stark too. Especially the 80s porno-y looking design. Also, who can forget Zorro. Generally, facial hair and masks don't tend to get along though. Perhaps too much for the illustrator to work with?

great idea for a show for Movember. Excited to hear your coming to R3 story (and others!)

Star Wars Comics are my thing.  I dabble a little in Marvel but my primary interest is Star Wars comics.  My collection isn't exstensive but I got the one's I like, specifically Star Wars Tales.  Star Wars Tales is a collection of stories from across the Star Wars universe and was soooo good, but they don't make them anymore! 

Superman isn't an inherently lame hero, he just frequently has bad writers. When they have someone good writing, Superman can be incredible. But more often than not... it's crappy writers.

Mario, Mr Potato Head, Dick Dastardly and Chuck Norris

Stollen from the interwebs

Deadshot, Tony Stark, Deathstroke, Forge, Sinestro, Ultimate Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Dum Dum Duggan, Omni-Man, Mr. America, Fandral, Vartox, Hogun, Ras' Al Ghul, Green Arrow, Jim Gordon,

I think the opposite, Superman is inherently lame but a superb writer can make incredible stories involving him.

I actually have a webcomic! Checkitout: www.doghauscomics.com.

Lately, I've been reading a lot of the original Detective Comics with Batman. What about Alfred? Commissioner Gordon?

In cartoons I really like Mr. Harriman's mustache from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. A bunny with a mustache and monacle!

@Boders Thanks for the kind words. U are a CBC blog icon

@GarfieldUK Nice ones!

@Kirk You are on another level now! Omniman from Invincible is a great suggestion.

Jonny Quest's Dad

Scruffy from Futurama... he's a marginal character, but what a 'stache. 

Just to let you know my Haiku prizes arrived today, thank you.

Bwaaaahahahaha! Do you make these, Lana? They've been primo recently.

Asterix and Obelix

Professor Calculus, Jolyon Wagg, Thomson and Thompson

Web comics I enjoy:

http://xkcd.com/ - stick figures don't often sport moustaches.

http://theoatmeal.com/ - only degenerates in power have moustaches, it seems.

http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/ - sometimes father characters have a moustache.

I enjoy comic books when I read them, but I don't actually seek them out.

The Tick - I can't think of any moustached characters..

Gizmo - robot, no moustache

And recently I came across ElfQuest comics, so I've read a bunch of those which are online. Elfs don't really do facial hair.

See comment 23

My gosh, I get one annually, and it takes about 15 seconds!  No excuse NOT to get one.  And it isn't more than a brief "OhhHHH!!" moment.

or the exact opposite. Research breakthroughs here are to the benefit of the rest of the world...and vice versa. That part of the equation (intellectual surplus) is often forgotten when folks are discussing the rise emerging economy X (India, China, etc.) 

Great job on spreading the word Steve. I'd wager you'll have a few more staches joining you next year.

That South Park was So great. Being from Jersey it had specail meaning to me! LOL!. I'm re-watching that tonight. While on South Park topic, I shud mention Randy Marsh who has one of the most famous mustaches of animation.

Yeah I was thinking of Randy's awesome stache too!  And how a friend told me this weekend they knew someone who dressed as Randy for Halloween.  From the Medicinal Marijuana episode.  With a wheel barrow.  If you catch my drift.

Society's no f---ing use

That took balls.

I feel like a bit of a douche doing this but that's not a handlebar moustache, this is. I did the exact same thing last year, thinking the horseshoe stache was a handlebar moustache.

@evensteven - That's awful nice of you but no worries. I've been back to work for a while now and I'm coming along. Won't be 100% for a while but at least I'm feeling more like I can handle going out and doing stuff.

Noted. Thanks for the info! Horseshoe sounds lucky anyways!

No worries! I just remember when I found out late in the month last year and was kinda annoyed I'd had it wrong for so long.

I've gotta get raising some funds, I'm not even up to 20% of what I raised last year!

I actually was thinking of sending a test package of my own comic book series ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM (actionfigurekinfdom.com) to the UK to see how much it costs to get them there. Would love to get AFK "across the pond." I think you would like the (112-page) story I have crafted. If you're interested shoot me an E-Mail?

Sweet profile pic

May I shamelessly ask for your bucky vote for Boxer The Horse, and Milks & Rectangles :)

I already vote for them

From one of the best cartoon shows ever (Bullwinkle) Snidely Whiplash

I should switch my profile pic over to the Snidely Craiglash pic I did for Moniski's colouring contest

WOOOO! Thanks!

Damn! Late again!

How about the Professor from Felix The Cat?

2nd-ing the Comedian. Watchmen is one of the best Books out there, everyone should read it! 

Was Snidely Whiplash in there? or Boris (Boris and Natasha) from Rocky and Bullwinkle? Though those aren't comics, are they? just awesome cartoons...

Haha, I couldn't think of what the straight stache is called. Like shaving off the legs of the horseshoe to make your regular old mo.

Lightning bolts are my favourite.

The Groucho is the Groucho, the man's moustache is so distinctive that I'd feel it deserves it's own style name.

Well, we'll see what happens if I get people donating. Probably tell my gf and she'll donate another style up :P
