Well, what can I say…I blog for Universal Dork…does that qualify me as a true, purebred dork? Come on out to Universal Dork and decide. As mild mannered konales, I am a research scientist by day and comic, horror, anime, death metal lovin’ dork by night. Kind of a modern day professional mad scientist (Dr. Jekyll and Hyde)! I am pretty open to all topics and comments. In fact I love to hear for the readers…if you don’t agree or want to be heard, be assure for my posts I love to respond and drum up some dialog. Fear not fellow dorks, there are others out there like you…many in fact. And we are looking to cover topics that you don’t really care about…but love to read about. Thanks for reading and supporting.

    Any attempt I can get, I love to relive the cartoons and movies of my childhood.  In this particular case, it occurred to me…what about that movie Watership Down?  I am sure many of the loyal readers are familiar but are most likely in the same position I found myself…I remember that movie, I remember…

  • Mentally challenged magneto!!!

    Here we have perhaps the greatest cartoon of all time!! The Menace of  Magneto!! This episode from the Fantastic Four series w/ Herbie the Robot  is one of my all time favorites. I own this on VHS and have watched this, shown it to friends a million times and it NEVER disappoints! There is clearly something very wrong with Magneto…

  • The Incredible Hulk cartoon from the 80’s!

  • SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS ARE TRUELY MISSED…

    It’s saturday and when I woke up I wished was a kid again in the 80’s waking up and watching my favorite show, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends!
