We thought it’d be ironic to post our 24th comic on the 24th of the month, until we looked up what irony meant. Actually, this is just more of a convenient coincidence.

Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 4: For Reach His Own
Can’t really make a fair judgment off of these tiny scraps of footage, but it’s not looking good…
Now this is a trailer I can get excited about.
Oh yeah, and the whole sniper thing. OH NOES!

Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 3: Treachery
It looks like Bungie is done playing games with Rage Quitters. What an ironic twist…

Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 2: Outreach Program
Léon. Otherwise known as The Professional.
Starring Jéan Reno and a very young Natalie Portman. Classic movie.
Comic Number 21! We’re legal! Shots, anyone?
Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 1: Outta Reach
We’re back! Sorry for the hiatus. We’re back and kicking off Rage Quitters Never Prosper, our first story arc. If you don’t count the Last Airbender Movie arc. And the Zombie Batman arc. So it’s our first officially recognized arc.
This is old news, Bungie is serious about eliminating rage quitters. And we’ll find out how serious they are about it in the next comic.
Peace Conference
Our deepest apologies for the lack of a new comic this week. Team Shot Glasses was selected to attend the World Peace Conference in Switzerland. And even though it means leaving all our friends and family behind, we know it’s for the greater good. Hopefully we’ll be back soon. A Peace Conference shouldn’t last too long, right?
Actually, we’re just taking a short break to catch up on some outstanding work. We’ll be returning soon with a ton of brand new comics.
Until then, may the power protect you.

Con Artists
Team Shot Glasses had a great time at New York Comic Con this weekend! Walking Dead! Young Justice! Marvel vs. Capcom 3! Top Cow Pilot Season! Squirrel Girl! Incredible!
I should add that Mosaic was not bad, Stripperella was hilarious, and if you haven’t read or watched Heroman, Stan Lee’s latest project with Japanese anime studio Bones, do so immediately.
Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Stan Lee. Maybe next year…
Originally, we planned to have this comic printed to hand out at the convention, but we had a problem with the printing company. Maybe next year.

Who doesn’t love this song? Seriously, who doesn’t?
Big Apple Comic Con was a lot of fun. More pictures to come soon on our new Facebook page, here.
Can’t wait for New York Comic Con this weekend!

Comic Con Carne
Anyone excited about the Comic Conventions coming up in October?
Team Shot Glasses apologizes for not having a brand new comic this Monday. We’ve been exceptionally busy working on some exclusive material to hand out at Big Apple Comic Con and New York Comic Con. We will be attending both conventions as fans and handing out some free Shot Glasses swag. After the convention, expect to find us at Dave and Buster’s, conducting further “research” for the comic.
Speaking of which, we have some big things coming up soon for the comic, starting next Monday.
In the meanwhile, here are two random (but amazing) links:
The first is an interactive YouTube video featuring The Dark Knight’s Batman and Joker in a breakdancing battle. Enjoy.
The second is so beautiful that it must been seen to be believed. Check it out here.
Even if it means gutting one of my precious VMUs, after the Comic Conventions are over I need one of those.

Rest In Peace
Rest In Peace to Toonami, the greatest programing block in the universe.
Toonami is responsible for a lot of the anime fans out there now. It is also responsible for Adult Swim, the spiritual successor of Toonami Midnight Run.
I remember Toonami for being the only programming block where I cared what happened to the characters who were presenting the shows. I wanted Tom to defeat “The Intruder.” And I was worried about Tom and Sara during “The Lockdown.”
And it wasn’t just their special events. All of their promos were awesome. Like this one for Advanced Robotics.
By the way, that’s Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, you’re hearing in those videos.
Watching a Toonami promo made you excited for shows you’ve never would’ve watched before. A political drama with giant robots. No thanks. But after watching this promo for Gundam Wing, I want to see this. Immediately! When is it on!?
Or a Samurai who doesn’t kill and hangs out with some girl and two brats at a swordfighting school. Snore! Wait, that’s what Rurouni Kenshin is like!? I’m there!!
Toonami actually managed to drag quite a few series out of cancellation, like Sailor Moon, ReBoot, and my personal favorite, Dragon Ball Z.
It was screwed over by Cartoon Network when they replaced it with Miguzi, shoved Tom into a Saturday night time slot, reduced it’s run time and saddled it with Naruto episodes and reruns of… something else, I’m not even sure. I won’t even mention what they did to Tom and the Absolution with this move.
I caught the last broadcast two years ago completely by accident and it was genuinely sad to see it end. Does anyone miss Stick Stickly? I don’t. But I miss Tom and Sara and the Absolution.
There are a few websites devoted to keeping Toonami’s spirit alive, like NeoToonami or Toonami Aftermath.
And here’s a ton more links to Toonami promos and music videos on YouTube. Binge!
