The cool cats (pun intended) over at Popartpet.com read my wife's blog and offered to make a photo of our cocker spaniel into a piece of 20th century art.

We agreed and they just sent over a couple of different proofs so we can select the one we like best for the final product. Problem is, we're not sure which one we dig the most.

"No big deal," I told the wife. "We'll just tap into this crazy web 2.0 synergy and ask the audience over at yesbutno to help us."

So here's your chance to become the art critic you've always knew you were. Trek on over to Retro Info and cast your vote in our comment section. Casey would really apperciate it.

I'm short for time this week so we'll do a quick and dirty preview of this week's new comics which include:

Joe Matt's adventures in masturbation
The return of Nexus
The death of a revolutionary
Stephen Colbert does comics
The origin of Green Arrow

I know it has been around for at least a year if not more, but the brilliance of Charlie the Unicorn is something that cannot be contained. Watch it now in Quicktime or Flash Video. Filmmaker Jason Steele's Spatula Madness is also genius. I'm looking forward to the feature film version.

Today on the veg - Hungry Hamsters

(yup, they're gettin' pretty weak)

Special thanks this morning to my friend Dena who pointed me in the direction of something that was probably made with my pyschographic profile in mind - bacon flavored chocolate!

Scaramouch’s new daughter is lucky to have a pretty name like Lily Grace. There were so many other possibilities.

- This one's for the returning daddy. Looking for that perfect gift? Think Vulva.
- You want a billboard in Times Square? It better not have any smiling butts on it.
- I missed the Smashing Pumpkins on Live Earth. But here they are on Letterman.
- More news from the Michael Moore CNN feud. This'll be entertaining for a while.
- And the very first trailer for Get Smart is out. And only a year before the flick.

Fans of Blendtec’s Will It Blend series will enjoy watching an iPhone in a blender. Well, who wouldn’t watch a $500 gadget being destroyed by a kitchen appliance? That is, as long as it was someone else's $500.

Chad, a friend who I used to work with, sent me this clip of his one year old son, already a master operator of his iPhone. I guess it's true what they say, it IS easy enough even a child can use it!!

Apple, if you're paying attention, get this clip on your site.
