by -RoG- on 07/20/2011, 10:12 am

This could be you! Dinosaurs Attack Comic-Con!
You too could be mauled by a dinosaur at Comic-Con!

It's time to get nerdy once again! The car is all loaded up and we're ready to head down to the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con for I-Mockery's third time as an exhibitor! I hope you can come visit us at the convention in our new location (Booth #E10 - near Aisles 600 & 700 - here's a map) because we've got lots of fun stuff to show ya this year! Here's some of what you can expect to see:

-A rare chance to play our Abobo's Big Adventure game (including a special 2-player battle mode) on a custom Abobo arcade cabinet!!! This includes three new levels and four boss fights never seen at Comic-Con before!

-Free Abobo masks for anybody who tries out the game! Now your face can be as beautiful as Abobo!

-Free Abobo buttons for people who manage to defeat one of the big new bosses!

-For the first time ever, all three 8-bit pixel posters will be available including the new Halloween one!

-I-Mockery "Awesome Shark" and "Forbidden Love" t-shirts!

-PickleMan comic books! Protoclown's comic books! Strangepuppets comic books!

-A limited edition t-shirt from Re!

-I-Mockery Button Packs!

-I-Mockery Magnets & Stickers!

-Free gory "Dinosaur's Attack" trading cards with every purchase! (this site is old as a dinosaur, so why not?)

and of course...

-I-Mockery Pickle Hats! (while supplies last)

I-Mockery will be landing at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con this July! Hope you'll be showing up too!

As always, we had an absolute blast last year, so I can't wait to head on down to the convention and get started. It's too much fun meeting longtime fans of the site along with all the new ones. We've put a ton of work and cash into making this happen once again this year, and it's all because want to celebrate the 13+ years this site has been online with the fans that have kept us going! So, if you're going to be at the Comic-Con, be sure to stop by I-Mockery Productions Booth #E10 - near Aisles 600 & 700! (here's a map to our booth)

Myself, Re, and Nick (programmer of the Abobo game) will all be there at the table this year. And yes, to those of you who've asked in the blog and via email, we'll be more than happy to sign anything you buy (or any other weird things you bring to the convention for us to sign). We'll even sign your face if you remember to bring it with you.

For those of you who can't come, we're sorry you're gonna miss it, but rest assured we'll still do our best to take as many photos of the convention as possible like we do every year. Obviously, we're gonna be super-busy with the booth, but once I'm back in town from Comic-Con, I'll try to post up all those photos as quickly as possible. I'll also try to update the I-Mockery blog and Facebook page with some photos each day if time permits.

Again, for those of you who've never been, I feel I need to once again remind you of a very important fact: despite the misleading name, the Comic-Con has MUCH more than just comic books. True, if you're a fan of comic books, you'll be in heaven, but if you're not that into 'em, there's still PLENTY for you to do. Over the years, the convention has basically become a mega-media event. The convention center is chock full o' the latest video games for you to test out, tons of movie promotions, toys galore, incredible costumes, and some truly amazing artists as well. If anything, comics have taken a backseat to all the other crazy things going on at the convention. So yeah, the name is really misleading to some people, and that's unfortunate because they have no idea what they're missing out on.

Can you handle the awesome power of Abobo? You'll have your chance to prove it at I-Mockery's Comic-Con booth!

Be sure to keep an eye on the I-Mockery Facebook and I-Mockery Twitter pages throughout the week. I'm gonna be super busy, but I'll do my best to update them from Comic-Con whenever I have a chance.

Alright, that's all for now. Wish us luck, cuz this is gonna be one hell of an insane week... again!

If you want to relive the Comic-Cons of yesteryear, here's a look at just some of our huge photo galleries: [2010] [2009] [2008] [2007] [2006] [2005]

Our New 8-Bit Halloween Pixel Print From The Crazy 4 Cult Show!

by -RoG- on 07/11/2011, 3:57 pm

After making tons of great suggestions, you guys waited a while to see how our new 8-bit Halloween print would turn out. Well my friends, the wait is over. This past Friday night, the print made its debut at Gallery 1988's fifth annual "Crazy 4 Cult" show along with some amazing cult film pieces by other artists, and now it's your turn to see what it looks like. Behold:

Limited edition 8-bit Halloween pixel print now available at Gallery 1988!
8-bit Halloween - click to enlarge!

This is the high quality 8-bit Halloween giclée print (limited to 50 signed & numbered pieces) and Gallery 1988 has put some of them up on their web site for sale so those of you who couldn't make it to the Crazy 4 Cult show can still get them. You can order the 8-bit Halloween prints here while they remain in stock. And don't worry, for those of you who can't afford the archival print, we will have the standard pixel posters coming out in the not too distant future as well.

I'm extremely happy with how this one turned out. There are so many references crammed into it and you guys already know that Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I think it's safe to say that this one is my favorite of the three pixel prints we've done so far. I hope you all love it as much as I do and thanks again to all of you who made suggestions for the print. Please drop a comment below and lemme know what ya think!

And now we start making our final preparations for the San Diego Comic-Con, including getting the full version of Abobo's Big Adventure ready for all to play. July is always one hell of a busy month, but a fun one too.

Big League Chew’s Hidden Phallus Invades Target Stores!

by -RoG- on 06/27/2011, 3:23 am

Big League Chew t-shirts at Target with classic phallus-faced baseball player art! Certainly gives 'play ball!' a whole new meaning.

I've written about Big League Chew here on I-Mockery quite a few times in the past. As a bubblegum that comes in tasty man size wads, Big League Chew stands apart from all traditional forms of the treat. I've also discussed how the original cartoon mascot on packages of Big League Chew had a semi-hidden phallic component.

Well, you can imagine my surprise when I was in Target the other day and stumbled on a Big League Chew t-shirt featuring the original psycho baseball player art instead of their modern package design. Maybe when I had a boatload of people email Wrigley about switching back to the original art, they decided to placate us with this t-shirt release instead of changing the actual packages. Well, it's a start, but I still want them to switch the packages back to the original design. And now is the perfect time to do it since everything from Lucky Charms to Doritos has been releasing limited-time retro packaging for their products. We want our vintage man size wads! You hear me, Wrigley!?

Anyway, I love that Target is unknowingly carrying a t-shirt with a phallus on it right there in plain daylight. Sure, it's not something everybody would notice at first glance since it's sitting next to other innocent t-shirt designs for Icee drinks 'n all, but make no mistake about it...

What penis? I see no penis! I only see Big League Chew!

...it's right there. The hidden image in this classic Big League Chew art is about as subtle as a brass knuckles punch to the throat. I may not care about baseball, but I'll be proudly wearing this shirt around town to show support for phallus-faced baseball players with scoundrel moustaches. I suggest you do the same.

While we're on the subject, what were some of your favorite childhood bubblegum brands & flavors?

I’m Setting Booty Traps!

Rog as Data from The Goonies in the Tournament of Nerds! Data from The Goonies costume!

Last weekend, I performed in another Tournament of the Nerds show at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre here in LA, and this time I was debating on behalf of The Goonies. Naturally, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to make a Data costume to wear while I performed on stage. I'll always jump at the chance to dress up as one of my favorite characters, even if Halloween is still a long ways off. It was a really great show and I even got to give a dramatic "this is our time" speech from the movie. Big thanks to everybody who came out and to my fellow nerdy performers.

By the way, anybody who dares to take a ride up Troy's bucket had best beware of my pinchers of peril! (more...)

The Great Friday The 13th Debate!

by -RoG- on 05/13/2011, 11:48 am

The Great Debate: What is the best Friday the 13th movie?

Alright folks, today is the 13th of May and it's a Friday, so there's no way in hell we're not gonna talk about the Friday the 13th films. I've written about the movies before, including Jason's 10 Best Kills, but it's high time we have a bigger discussion about the franchise as a whole. With decades of death on his resume, Jason Voorhees will forever be one of the all-time greatest horror movie icons, but the question I'd like to pose today is simple: What is the best Friday the 13th movie and why?

Now before you rush to answer right away, think about all the films for a minute. Do you like the original where Jason's role was more of a tragic back-story or maybe you're all about him wearing a potato sack on his head in part II. Maybe you relish seeing his kills in a gloriously cheesy 3D presentation. Perhaps you're a big fan of "The Final Chapter" which was anything but and featured Crispin Glover's infamous dance, or maybe you have a pure adoration for the almighty Reggie in part V. What about Jason's graveyard resurrection in part VI or his battle against the telekinesis girl in part VII? And let's not forget his excursions outside of Camp Crystal Lake to Manhattan, hell and outer space! That's quite a hefty load of murder and mayhem to consider, so take your time.

For the purpose of this discussion, let's leave out the Freddy vs. Jason flick since that's more of a blend of two franchises, and let's leave out the remake since Jason taking a prisoner for an entire film instead of killing her goes against everything we love about the guy. So yeah, keep the discussion to the classic Friday the 13th films - part 1 through Jason X.

Also, don't just list off your favorite film in the series and nothing more. Back up your choice with an explanation of exactly why you think it's the best Friday the 13th movie and stands above the rest. Alright, sharpen up those machetes and hack away at your keyboards. Go!
