  • Yet another reason why it’s good to have Mewes out of rehab – he’s around to sign stuff. Just released and now available at The Stash
    are a few items signed by both KEVIN SMITH and JASON MEWES, yup, that’s right, Jay & Silent Bob themselves:
DOGMA GRID POSTERS

Now you too can own the poster which was most recently only given out to attendees of the “Dogma Diabetes Benefit Screening.” The Jay and Silent Bob Grid
Poster features a pair of unlikely Prophets who attempt to aid the Last Scion in saving all of existence.

This poster measures 20” x 13.5”

Signed by KEVIN SMITH and JASON MEWES. A bargain at only $12.00.

JAY & SILENT BOB – THE ASS POSTER

Jay’s ass has never been blown up this big… until now! This supposedly candid shot from the set of Clerks is now available as a full size poster! This black and white poster features the dynamic duo in front of their RST Video perch and depicts Jay with his pants pulled down to reveal the sweet crack of his ass. You know you want one! And we’re here to give it to you.

Signed by the two guys depicted here – Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes. $25.00.

BLUNTMAN & CHRONIC ACTION FIGURES

They stormed the box office this summer in ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’, and now they’ve set their sights on comic book stores! Bluntman and Chronic – the superhero secret identities of Jay and Silent Bob – are ready to set the collector’s market ablaze and give new meaning to the term “blunt”. Use ‘em in the privacy of your own home to recreate the thrilling adventures of the recent View Askew summer blockbuster, re-enact the hilarity of the best-selling Image graphic novel, or create your own, X rated adventures starring these crime-busting (and law-breaking) do(bage)-gooders and their faithful simian companion, Suzanne.

Based on model sheets by Michael Avon Oeming, each highly-detailed 8” tall figure is generously articulated and has been sculpted to create all of the details you expect. As with all Graphitti Designs products, we have gone the extra mile so that our figures will be the best around and will stand-out above the crowd.

The DEAL OF THE CENTURY at the SALE PRICE of only $25 for a SIGNED SET! Buy 2: Open one and save the other one!

  • Part 1 of Kevin’s interview did air on The Screensavers tonight, and the remainder is scheduled for their April 30th broadcast. We’d
    also like to thank Patrick for the nice shout out to News Askew at the end of the piece. Yep, we’re publicity whores.
  • Mediasharx has a brief summary of Kevin’s recent Maryland appearance, and confirms that
    Kevin did explain that while Clooney won’t be taking on the title role, they still are pursuing Jet Li for the role of Kato.
  • It wouldn’t be a day without Jersey Girl, would it? EnJ inc gives the film a 9/10, calling it
    “flat out excellent”.
  • Jay & Bob appear in inaction form on the cover of the Hero-Lix website today.
  • And finally today, we’d like to wish a very happy birthday to Jennifer Schwalbach Smith today, and many, many more. On all the occasions
    we’ve had the pleasure of talking with her, she’s been absolutely wonderful and kind to us, indicative of the great catch Kev’s got for himself there.
    Happy Birthday, Jen!
