Comics Catch Phrases - Which is Better? Flame On vs. It’s Clobberin’ Time

51savrulwl_sl160_51thqhqbp6l_sl160_I put this question to you; which of these two family-feuding Fantastic Four teammates has the better catch phrase:

Ben Grimm a.k.a. THE THING with
“It’s Clobberin Time”!

OR

Johnny Storm a.k.a. THE HUMAN TORCH with
“Flame On”!

That’s a tricky question.  There are many factors to consider and we will do exactly that in today’s entry.

Photo Journal #2: Balloon Spider-Man!

spidey-011This afternoon I stepped over a line into super-geek territory…  I found myself combining my fondness for comic books with a recently remembered hobby.   Most everyone have seen those balloon-animal dogs at the circus or during a street festival at some point in their lives and I recall always wanting to learn how to make them.  So, many years ago I bought some balloons and a “how-to” book and taught myself the basics of making balloon animals (I could make a dog)…  Fast forward to this afternoon and thanks to YouTube, I have discovered that there are many talented people out there making much more than just balloon canines.  If you search hard enough, you can find balloon versions of Batman, Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man and of course, Spider-Man. 

You know I had to try making one…

Please continue on to see the Spider-Man balloon I created from start to finish.  I will also link to the instructional video I used to create him.
