Robot Chicken is TTT. I still have the issue where Seth Green wrote all the "Big Shots" gags. The TTT stories weren't quite as good after everyone left to do Robot Chicken, and I was never sure if it was the new writers, or if they already covered all the ground they could. I showed my mother the issue where the hulk burned down the price guide, and she tried hard not to, but she actually laughed at it (and me collecting toys might as well as been me shooting heroin, as far as she was concerned, toys did not amuse her).

I tried to buy ToyFare last week, but they had already sold out, and I noticed it's been gone from the grocery since summer.

Wizard had some questionable ethics (running an article about a company that a faced a full page ad for the same company always made the journalist in me squirm) and they helped fuel the collector boom in the 1990s that ran the comic industry into the ground, but for most of their run, they were a good magazine. The writers have gone on to do mainstream work, and not just on Robot Chicken, and when Maxim started, it was a straight rip off of Wizard's style (only with real women), right down to the photo captions. I even saw a Pat McCullum article in Maxim, and I don't read it that often.

Anyway, I'm still in shock. It's like when they stopped making music cassettes. I wasn't buying cassettes, but it still felt odd.
