Infographics AKA Cartoons
Saw this article and while it’s more specifically about infographics, I thought it had all sorts of great things to say about images in general:
Like videos, images can spread very quickly online with little artificial push. Are they inherently more ‘viral‘ than textual content? It is difficult to say with certainty if it indeed has a higher potential for popularity. But images have undeniable value in spreading ideas. Especially when they are elegantly integrated with the use of text to present information.
Unique, original images can attract an audience. They are not only high quality content for an interested readership but they can be useful promotional tools for anyone interested in gaining more attention.
There’s some really good stuff here, and cartoons are even mentioned. If you’ve got a few minutes it’s more than well worth it!

LEGO Fashion Show
Um, I'm still not sure what this is all about, but I have to admit I watched the whole thing:

Futurama Playing Cards
I pretty much love eveyrthing Futurama/Simpsons. So grabbing, scanning and posting these Futurama playing cards was a no brainer, even without brain slugs.

Batman is Very Very Sick
We always knew Batman was, well, a little off, but the good folks at Topless Robot have taken the time to really get into what's wrong with ol' Bruce with their 10 Mental Illnesses Batman Indisputably Has.
My favorite? #2 Munchhausen-by-Proxy. Enjoy!

Homemade Gummy LEGOs
I'm still not sure taking a smallish childrens' toy, creating a reasonable edible facsimile, and encouraging them to chow down on said doppleganger is great parenting, but the LEGO nut in me would love to try making these!
You can read all about it here!
