Kang & Kodos! finally have their one-shot on Bongo Comics

Kang & Kodos, the space aliens from The Simpsons are two of our favorite characters from the show. They’re the animated, alien equivalent of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets. Two sets of characters that both have great one liners, are sometimes present, but haven’t gone too far in regular episodes. Because of that, The Simpsons have always used Kang & Kodos sparingly and usually on the Halloween episode. Their first solo shot in comics is appropriately called Kang & Kodos and is very rewarding for fans of the show.

The Ice Cream Expedition from National Geographic Kids in Atlanta, 8/20

It’s a cross county road trip with an old ice cream truck, three friends, eco conservation, film making and a dash of National Geographic Kids. Three friends, Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke purchased an old ice cream truck, retrofitted it to run on vegetable oil and are driving around the county this summer. They’ll be giving away ice cream to children around the county, teaching them about conversation, having them sign a pledge and possibly eat some more ice cream-or maybe that’s me eating some.

Electric Football by Tudor Games review and giveaway #BlogPop

I don’t want a box phone from the 70’s. However there is some tech from that era that still rocks, especially with a couple improvements. Electric Football is like that. That hum. The way that the players vibrated, that hum and the fun that you and your friends yelling at the game. Tudor Games has revamped Electric Football for a new age and the results are pretty cool.

Countablock, the best children’s counting book that we’ve seen

In November 2013 we reviewed Alphablock from these same authors and our headline was almost the same. Countablock follows the same presentation that Alphablock did so well, except this time with numbers from 1 to 100. It’s written by Christopher Franceschelli with the art by Peskimo. Countablock is intended for ages 1-3, but our almost 5 year old loves it and don’t get tired of reading it to them either.
