New Stamps Celebrate Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl’s work is being celebrated in a set of special stamps.
The set of six Royal Mail stamps, which also depict the work of illustrator Quentin Blake whose drawings are synonymous with Dahl’s stories, feature six of the author’s best-loved novels.
One of Dahl’s most famous tales, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, appears with a beaming Charlie Bucket on the 46p first-class stamp.

Iconic Torsos by Matthew Gallagher
Artist Matthew Gallagher proves that we only need to see a part of our favourite characters to instantly identify them. From Captain America’s ripped leather torso to Spiderman’s mesh suit, the unmistakable details of these costumes bring to mind a powerful and iconic image.

Disney has created an homage to Joy Division’s seminal album ‘Unknown Pleasures’ by turning Mickey Mouse’s head into the now iconic waveform they used for their album cover. Someone pop on in to Disneyland/world and pick me up one of these bad boys.
This = very necessary.
Your eyes are not tricking you. What you’re looking at is a Disney remake of the classic Joy Division ‘Unknown Pleasures’ shirt, available only at Disneyland and Disneyworld stores.
Disney’s not the only one getting into the rock homage act…
Andreas Englund answers what happens to superheroes when they start to age in a day in the life series of paintings.
“I want to let people know the full story of the life of this superhero. One part of it is getting old, but he’s also portrayed in other periods of his life.
I think my superhero is like most people. No better no worse. Only his job is to be that great hero who saves the world. In that story is a big drama. He is supposed to live up to everyone’s expectations which is quite stressful and, I think, many can relate to that situation.
Capturing the lives of “perfect people” is boring and predictable. I like the human flaws and weaknesses. I need to see that in a character to believe in him, to care about him and to be interested in him. There is also a drama in putting this extraordinary superhero in an everyday life situation.
But that doesn’t mean I want to portray him as a fool or incompetent in any way. He’s just like anyone else except for his unique powers.”

These remote control mario kart cars fit in the palm of your hand! Besides Mario you can also get Yoshi, Luigi and Bowser. Each vehicle comes with a happy banana peel and a Koopa Troopa shell that can be used as obstacles.
The only way that this could be better is if the Mario Kart cars shot the banana peel and shell out of the back, just like the game.
Buy it on Thinkgeek for $22.99.
It just makes sense.

Now this is awesome. Marvel superhero cakelet molds. If I had this when I was a kid there would’ve definitely been more boys baking! I mean, who doesn’t get perverse pleasure out of eating a face. Don’t tell me you never enjoyed biting off a gingerbread man’s head.
My favorites from the product summary:
Team up with legendary superheroes as they battle evil, avenge dastardly deeds and spread dessert throughout the universe. The action begins in the kitchen, where our cakelet pan brings six favorite Marvel comic-book characters to life.
After baking, use colorful icings and sprinkles to give your heroes their superpowers—and let the action begin!

The Japanese ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Anime Even More Insane Than Expected
Admittedly, the producers of the TMNT anime weren’t exactly working with something normal to begin with. I mean, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pretty much lays it all out right there in the name, and by the time you throw in radioactive ooze, the obsession with pizza and the fact that they inexplicably owned an actual zeppelin that they kept in a sewer, and let’s be honest here: It’s as weird as anything Japan’s produced.
