A Probin' We Will Go


Alien: Well since this is your first time I suppose I can let you choose which one you get first.

Toyfare (a magazine about toys) used to do these things called "Big Shots" in their price guide. They were one panel comics of pretty much random toys thrown in front of strange backgrounds and then had funny (sometimes not) speech balloons or captions. They also had a "Caption This" contest every month with just a picture and then fans went on-line to come up with the funniest caption (they still do this every now and then). This developed into what's known as Twisted Toyfare Theater, which then paved way for the Adult Swim show, Robot Chicken (two of the producers are in fact former employees of Toyfare who worked on Twisted Toyfare Theater).

Anyways I was going through some stuff and came across this Alien figure (from Hellboy) and this shot immediately popped into my head. Unfortunately I didn't have anything to use for a back drop so there's a horrible shadow. Oh well. Feel free to post a funny comment of your own. And yes that is a Tuskernini figure from Darkwing Duck.

Alien: To be honest, I'm not sure how this one works.

Tuskernini: Stop being a wuss and bring it on, f****r.
