Screw-On Head, For Fuck's Sakes

Oh Yay, Now I'm Just Triple Late Again

Okay, no, look, no, listen, seriously, pay attention goddamnit! Mike Mignola. Mike Mignola!
All right, I'm calm. Yes, Mother, I'm calm. Deep breath. Start from the beginning, don't flip out.
Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, artist of those old Lankhmar comics only I seem to know about or want, purported originator of all the cool bits in Disney's Atlantis, in short, all around smashing fellow, has an animated cartoon now. It really looks like moving Mignola art, too, which is amazing to behold. (To me. I'm easily amazed.)

The whole first episode is free for viewing on the Sci-Fi Channel site.

The villain is voiced by David Hyde Pierce, also known as Niles in the show Frasier. The villain. Sounds. Like. Niles. (Incidentally it appears that Pierce also voiced Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movie. Only, the movie Abe Sapien is a total Niles anyway, so nobody noticed.)

So what am I waiting for, you ask? Why am I keeping from you your rightful inheritance of free cartoons, dammit?!? Oh, no reason. Just wanted you to read this whole thing. Plus I'm a bastard.
It's called The Amazing Screw-On Head. Hop to it.

Fucking awesome, I say.

I'd also want to read those Lankhmar comics. I just had forgotten about it. :)
