RocketBoom Goes Boom

In a surprising turn of events, Amanda Congdon has left the building. Although exact reasons for her departure are yet unknown, Andrew “Red” Baron has already discovered a replacement host for this insanely-popular videocast.
Amandrew Bangdon was hired late last night, and is pictured here in an exclusive preview of Rocketboom v2.0. From anonymous sources inside the small production studio, this new host is much more “boomy” than the last one. North Korea is already putting in a bid for show sponsorship, having recently introduced a new “rocket with benefits” to the international market.
Science vloggers could not be reached for comment, as they were all too busy trying to translate the entire script for Star Wars into Klingon.

Bonus outtake! If movies and television shows can have gag reels, then so can comics - especially after some people are saying that bLaugh reminds them of MAD Magazine. Those “some people” also happen to be our moms.

That image is disturbing beyone words… great job! I was sad to see the Boom go boom, but I’m more interested to see what shakes out of the rubble.

Dasme said it best “I’m more interested to see what shakes out of the rubble.” But, I think we will see great things from both pieces of the rubble.

[...] I lied. The story of Amanda Congdon and Andrew Baron (and guest star Steve Jobs!) told in panels. EVERYTHING’S FUNNIER WITH COMICS! [Transparent Agenda]Blaugh, the un-comic by bloggers Chris Pirillo and Brad Fitzpatrick, puts an image in our brains that can only be worked out with years of therapy and Ze Frank shows. [Blaugh]Marketwatch reporter Frank Barnako is so over Amanda Congdon. Apparently she’s hot? And apparently that’s part of the reason a viewer base made of middle-class men watched her? This is all news to me.

the potential for all those portable screens as a platform for making people laugh. The images, like a Flickr stream or other photo feeds are optimized for the PSP screen size, while still retaining all the brilliant colors and sharp wit. The latest comic, which I provide a sneak preview of in this post, is a genius take on the recent meltdown of video blogging poster children, Rocketboom. If you have a PSP (or iPod video), you owe it to yourself to add this daily laugh
