Royal Canadian Danger Rangers!

This is a series proposal and working title I've developed and been pitching around lately. It's based on idea an idea by the Vestibules LINK that I just loved sound of if not the original title.

At the time I 'came up' with the title I was surprised to myself that I'd never heard use of the term 'danger rangers'. That was, until about 2007 or so, when I finally got around to seeing Clerks 2 on the movie channels. That's when I noticed Randall's tshirt had a danger ranger illustration on it(I actually misread it: it read "Ranger Danger". But in the end that made no difference 'cause once I got around to googling it I got this. And lately(er) there's this.

I've also found this. Don't forget to click on the Danger Ranger logo beneath the banner/internal site link bar for extra marketage of the "no way" nature.

Anyways I don't no where that leaves the rights to the IDEA of a danger rangers. Might have to use some other word like 'squad' or "team" or something.

Maybe an acronym, like: C.O.B.A.L.T. or A.S.Q.U.A,D.

We'll have to get some reputable lawyerin' on that at some point.

Regardless, I just love the idea of an underfunded team of government agents saving the world efficiently and cheaply on the Environment Canada's annual budget.

That and developing the whole mythos that might have surrounded such a team. Kinda what the Venture Brothers does so sublimely well these days.

Anyhoo, bye for now. Hope you like.

Real Canadian Superheroes! For Real!

These are a series of trading cards issued along with series of postage stamps that came out in 1992 or 93.

I modified two of them somewhat so as not to arouse any copyright houndings and include them in series proposal I put together late last year.

Two other ones are complete fabrications based on characters in the series.

Three of them are untouched and are shown as they were issued with a little worse for wearage along the edges.

Can you guess which one are which, kids? I knew you could.

I'm not saying I did such a great job with the photoshopping and the fakings but the and vague status of most Canadian superheroes makes it a pretty easy task for one up to such enterprise.

Johnny Kanuckehead is a personal favorite.




These are the stamps themselves: Issued to commemorate Superman's birthday and the discovery that he's apparently half Canadian. I thought he was half Jewish myself. But what do I know?

I'm pretty sure it was his left side that was Canadian. The side that that Neofacsist Batman always hated. Or was Superman the Neofacsist? Labels. So hard to keep track of who's what and what's what mean.

But I digress.

One these stamps is a fake also. It's pretty easy to spot; it's the one you can't read at this size.

li'l CHUCKIE BANG BANG + BOOM BOOM JEFFERIES
