f*@kin’ Elmo!!!

So, this week marks the 40th anniversary of “Sesame Street”, and I realize that me, being 39, have always had this in my life. I love the show, even , now with my own kids, because the makers know we as adult parents are watching, and give us a little something as well.

Even as a former film major there was an reference to “The Andelusian Dog” by Salvador Dali in one skit. Odd.

Grover has always been one of my favorite Muppets. He had a smart alec stupidity that I always found charming. With the 80’s came the bane of all Muppets, ELMO. The little bastard not only took most of Grover’s thunder, but stole half the show! He has no charm and even less tact. I hate him. I wish Sweetums would eat him. Bastard.

Phineus : Magician for Hire is the brainchild of creator Barry Linck. Phineus was created in 1987, of then a high school senior after reading too much of Matt Wagner's "Mage", too much Dungeon's and Dragon's and watching too much of John Carpenter's "Big trouble in LittleChina". Over the interviening years Phineus changed from angellic savior, to reluctant hero, to art student who finds he is a mage, until, in 1991, for a comic class at Edinboro University, he became part of a Husband and Wife paranormal investigations team, with Phineus' sidekick and wife Sara. Barry produced and self published from 1993 to the present 33 comics with our erstwhile heroes, garnering a small but rabid fan following. View all posts by phinmagic
