mr. bean via wiki world

A few weeks ago, local cartoonist Greg Williams did a great Wiki World comic about Mr. Bean. I thought I had posted it, but just found it in my drafts folder. So, very belatedly, here you go:

character actor charles lane has died

Prolific character actor Charles Lane (Mighty Joe Young, I Love Lucy) died on July 9 at age 102. Known primarily for portraying cranky officials, Lane’s face is well-known while his name usually wasn’t. The San Francisco Chronicle called him “That Guy in all those movies.”

Here’s cartoonist Greg Williams’ WikiWorld tribute:

(I though this was published a while back, but I’ve just discovered it still in my pending folder. I think my computer is possessed.)

John Hodgman is everywhere.

He’s in those hilarious PC/Mac commercials, with the guy from Jeepers Creepers.

He was Nerd Man of the Month in April at girl-nerd central The Park Bench.

A few weeks ago, he was the subject of Greg Williams’ WikiWorld cartoon:

don’t beam down to the planet if you’re wearing a red shirt

The Husband and I finished watching Season Three of Star Trek:The Next Generation this weekend.  Bleech.  It’s my least favorite Star Trek and his favorite.  Even though the “red shirt deaths” started on the original Star Trek, I figured there was enough of a connection to this hilarious comic by local cartoonist/writer Greg Williams.
