Aorta VI: Jared Blunk, PJ Kneisel & Sam Graham

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Artist: Jared Blunk

Terrible Twos is an original, traditionally-drawn two frame daily comic-strip by LA artists Pj Kneisel and JTMB.

Started in late 2009, the gritty and often esoteric Terrible Twos began their online appearance meekly, but have since gained a small, but dedicated following; probably due to their offbeat humor and unflinchingly graphic art.

**** ******

The comic’s two frame approach allows both artists to contribute to each strip, making every piece a fully collaborative exercise with an often unexpected and inspired punchline.

The entire Terrible Twos catalog can be veiwed at the Aorta VI art collective blog @ AortaVI.blogspot.com – where new strips are posted daily.

NBC #1 @ TV’s 50 Biggest Bomb Ever

The plight and suffering of Haitian people and continuing financial support on a global level is relevant to my being than the media’s lust over NBC vs. Jay Leno & Conan O’Brien program woe. However, Leno and O’Brien do employee hundreds of people that would be out of work and financial support in this recession, so I’m happy to see a resolution is on the horizon.

With that said, leave it to Entertainment Weekly to bestow NBC & Jeff Zucker‘s decision [Jay Leon @ 10pm] with the #1 spot in television’s 50 biggest bomb ever. Entertainment Weekly dedicated the TV’s 50 Biggest Bomb Ever Issue to all of the television networks, producers and actors for making i****** decisions.
