Monster of the Day #720

As you can imagine, this is about my favorite Kona cover. Sweet! "Hey! Kona! KONA! Up here! Could you guys not shake things so much? This ledge is kind of precarious! Kona! KONA!" Note the T-Rex in the background. As I understand it, Kona and his tribe have domesticated some of them. Yes, pet…

Monster of the Day #719

Say what you will for Kona, but what a bad ass! Look at all the beasties he takes on armed only with a knife! No sign of the family, though. Must be Spa Day. "Sorry, Kona, you'll have to handle today's menace yourself," they might say, as Kona rolls his eyes and mutters, "Oh,…

King of the Grill TONIGHT on Discovery Channel….

The pilot for a show starring Kirk Draut's friend Ritch Robin, King of the Grill, premieres tonight on the Discovery Channel. Kirk worked on the show and I think appears on it. I've met Ritch several times through Kirk, and he's a great, great guy. Details here. It's on after Mythbusters, so 9:00 PM…

Monster of the Day #717

  I know we already had a week of Kona not too long ago, but what can I say, I love these covers. Here's a two-fer. Yes, there were enough of these great covers that I can double up today. The writer(s) must have had a taste for unusual menaces. Here are two more…

Monster of the Day #716

Well, this overlapped, but here's the last of the Saturday the 14th monsters. Maybe I'll run more Kona covers the rest of the week. The entire movie's posted on YouTube, by the way. I'll probably burn it to disc tonight. I'm sure it's lame, but what the heck?

Reminder: Kirk Draut’s show on Discovery next week….

Kirk Draut, who along with his wife Patty is my perennial Fest host down in Houston (they've attended every Fest we've done since the first one in Austin), works behind and in front of the camera in this pilot for a show based on Gator Pit's Ritch Robin, whose company makes these amazing custom-made…
