Edgar Rice Burroughs fans

I get to at least a couple Blackhawks games a year. This has little to do with ERB, except that they play a few blocks from where he was born. The Hawks play this on the jumbotron before games, and it really revs up the crowd. I love it. I guess I could make another ERB connection, in that I think this music would be great during the build up to a huge battle on Barsoom.

The Muckers recently visited the hotel where the 2010 Dum Dum convention will be held Aug. 19-22. I made this video promoting the Dum Dum. Registration information can be found HERE.

The Muckers are hosting the 2010 Dum Dum in Chicago. We have four action-packed days lined up. Details at our new Dum Dum web site:

I’d love to see artist Dave Hoover story board a Tarzan movie.

Greg Phillips drew this cartoon for The Mucker Magazine, and I animated it.

I wrote this years ago on the old Panthan Press site. Found it on the Way Back archive olf old web pages …

Top Ten Reasons John Carter is Better than Tarzan

10. Woola would eat Jad-bal-ja for lunch and use Nkima as an after-dinner mint.

9. John Carter’s sword is bigger than Tarzan’s hunting knife.

8. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

7. Never had dozens of really bad movies made about him.

6.When John Carter’s son was 10, he helped the old man lead a slave revolt against the evil goddess of Life and Death. When Tarzan’s son was 10, he ran away from home with an old ape.

5. John Carter arrived naked on another planet, and rose to become Warlord of all Barsoom. After all these years, Tarzan still pretty much just runs around naked.

4. When John Carter’s wife is lost, her father launches 10,000 battle ships and starts massive wars. When Tarzan’s wife is lost, her father wanders around the jungle saying “Tut-tut.”

3. John Carter’s best friend is a 15-foot green guy with four arms, tusks, and a big honking sword. Tarzan’s best friend is a Frenchman.

2. Tarzan had to take pills to become immortal. John Carter was just born that way.

1. Four words: The incomparable Dejah Thoris.

A Tarzan improv scene on, “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?”

I was living in England back in the ’80s when this song by KLF (aka The Timelords) was popular over there. The original version is a huge anthem at American sporting events. Without the Doctor Who riffs, of course. But I always loved this rendition. Haven’t heard it in years. You can find anything on YouTube. Video created by The13thDoctor.
