A Madman Movie
after a few years of hiatus, Madman is back with a new series in April called Madman Atomic Comics, and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, El Mariachi) will be producing a major motion picture adaptation of that first story! To get everyone up to speed on the character, Image Comics is releasing the Madman Gargantua, a 852-page, full color hardcover collection of almost every story the character's ever appeared in.

Latest food-fad -- 'space potatoes'
SHANGHAI, China (AP) -- Having boldly gone where no spud has before, Chinese space potatoes are now the latest culinary fad to hit the country's ultra-trendy commercial hub of Shanghai.Slightly sweet and purple in color, the potatoes, named Purple Orchid Three, are bred from seeds that mutated while being carried aboard a Chinese spacecraft, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported Monday.Grower Haikou Purple Orchid Co. Ltd. is promoting them as a unique food option, and restaurants in the city are offering them for Valentine's Day dinners, served crispy fried, or in salads, desserts and even iced drinks, the newspaper said.China's space program claims to have produced numerous mutated fruits and vegetables by exposing seeds to space radiation, capsule pressure and weightlessness.

Superman & Bugs Bunny
From the year 2000 came this whacky little series in which DC Comics' superhero top dogs teamed up with none-other than the Looney Tunes! The idea is as nutty as it gets but whether it really works is down to personal opinion. My opinion is that Superman & Bugs Bunny is an easy, quick, fun, silly, escapist nonsense of a read which could have been better, could have been worse.

The Smile Project
In the fall of 2003, Bren Bataclan began his outdoor art installation, "Smile Boston Project." To start the project, the artist left his cartoon inspired paintings for people to take for "free" all over Boston (parks, trains, schools, hospitals, etc.). Attached to each painting is a note saying, "This painting is yours if you promise to smile at random people more often." Bren has since left paintings all over the globe and the Smile Project has evolved into a phenomenon that has long since eclipsed its humble beginnings.
