- An open source comic company known as “Tornado Comics Presents” recently finished a covers competition, focusing one of their entries on a character called “The Replacement Devil”. They’re such huge fans of Kevin, they tell us the based the character off his likeness. For further details on their projects, pop by their website.
- Another one of those LOLcats showed up with a “Clerks” theme — We still don’t really get these things, but fans tell us they’re all the rage. You go, kitties.
- 411 salutes some of the great TV and film roles of George Carlin at the end of their recent column, citing both “Jersey Girl” and “Dogma”, and “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”. We especially like this well-worded praise for the oft-misunderstood “Jersey Girl”:
“I’ve always been a sucker for “daddy stories” and I think Affleck delivered a solid performance of a single dad trying his best to raise his daughter. It is Kevin Smith’s most sincere movie to date. George Carlin played Affleck’s dad and did a great job in the performance, weighing sincerity with exasperation at the actions of his son throughout the movie. He was great in the film, as should be expected. “ - The Hollywood United Methodist Church will include “Dogma” as part of their “Finding Faith in Film” series this summer, on August 24th. No further details on the website, though we assume the films actually screen at the church’s location in Hollywood, CA.
- Attention Australia! Seth Rogen will be doing an interview in your area with Rove this Sunday, July 6th. Rove is an Aussie chat show (Letterman-esque) which airs Sundays at 9 PM local time. Shows reach YouTube by the next day, so we’re hoping to have links to the video soon after it airs (we’re crossing our fingers for a “Zack & Miri” mention or two).
- Brian O’Halloran’s new horror comedy “Brutal Massacre: A Comedy” screens at The Pioneer Theater in New York City throughout the month of July. The director, along with some of the cast and crew, will be in attendance for the first showing this Saturday, July 5th. We’ll have details on screenings in Texas and Los Angeles soon as well.
- Last, but certainly not least, in case you need another reminder – SModcast #55 hit the net this week, with more of the best humor on the web in MP3 format. For your free, fast exclusive download, hit up Quick Stop Entertainment…

You guys don’t get lolcats? I like ’em!

There is a graphjam thread on Kevin’s board:
