They make a game out of learning the different lessons. There are pages to print out and draw, ink and color. As you go you try to learn the identity of a mystery villain.

I may have to acquire that for my own son to ensure that the legacy continues.

Don’t we ALL have a copy of How to Draw… . I know I have two, and orginal hard cover with dust jacket and an electronic version for the PC that my son loves to doodle with.

Follow Your Bliss.

Dude, I didn’t get to see the ep until we got home from vacation and I watched our recording, but I agree with you, it was cool cheesy fun. I look forward to more.

But will it surprise anyone to discover that I think the wrong guy got sent home, because I HATE that Iron Enforcer punk-ass!

Oh, hey, I’ve still got my copy of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, dude, if you wanna borrow it!

Because you (and probably at least 80% of the rest of the audience, myself included) want to see him go. I predict that Iron Enforcer will last until at least the third episode, if not until the fifth. Why? Because that's the way these reality shows work. The audience needs someone to root against or there's no reason to tune in every week. The first two heroes to be booted weren't anywhere near as annoying or — dare I say it? — <em>interesting</em> as Iron Enforcer, they weren't flashy and over the top like Major Victory or Fat Momma, and they don't have boobs like Lemuria. The heroes have to have <em>something</em> exciting (or at least titillating) about them or they won't have an audience.

It would be interesting to make them earn their capes (a la <em>City of Heroes</em>), but there would be no motivation for someone like The Iron Enforcer (who would look silly in a cape) to complete the trial.

I also favor Major Victory’s over the top gallantry. He does need a cape, and I’ve seen a few pictures with him in one, so perhaps it will appear later. Once he has that, he’ll have a strong resemblance to the kid on Rage Against the Machine’s Evil Empire album.
