Uni-comic at the lost cove open mic

A little bit of spoof of Twilight Zone, a little spoof of the survivalist community.  Which I hope they like the jokes, because they are probably the only ones who would get the jokes. Please note the character and jokes are fiction.

what will most likely not be the cause of the apocalypse

Since 7 Minutes in heaven is going on at Space 55 right now, I thought it was a good time to post this video from a past 7 minutes show, performed by Kevin Flanagan and Ashley Naftule.

Best Icon ever for post-apocalypse/prepper forums

Pop goes the wasteland

I spent the last three days at the Phoenix Comic-Con for both fun and research. I was surprised there were so few direct references to the Apocalypse.
