The Ghostbuster’s Egon and Janine in a 1980s Archie Style Comic?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by The Retroist

This gem was put together by Arist Abraham Lopez as a commission. According to Lopez here was the summary of the commission:

Egon and Janine from the Ghostbusters cartoon flirting with each other, set in the 80′s with them being in high school.

A brilliant idea for a commission and the results are perfect.

How to Play Street Fighter by Yourself?

Some might laugh, but how many of you have spent a lonely Saturday Evening contemplating this very thing? I could never muster the skill to pull it off myself. Maybe I needed better controllers? I think it requires more coordination than I can bring to the table. So I will just stick to one player Axis and Allies.

Beautiful Victorian Celestial Illustrations

The Voyager missions started sending back amazing photos of our solar system right about the time I was old enough to understand what they were. Previously, cameras had given us somewhat grainy views of our neighbors in space, so it’s hard to imagine a time when most of what everyone saw of the heavens (in any detail) were left up to an artist’s interpretations. Some stunning examples of this can be seen in this collection of chromo-lithographs that depict planets, comets, the moon and sun.

All are based on astronomical observations, and the results are stunning. It’s pretty amazing how detailed and accurate many of them are, given that we now have hi-res photos of many of the same subjects to compare them to.I’d love to have a framed set of these.
