Hopefully you’ve had enough time to recharge yourself after a night of celebrating the end of one year and the beginning of the new. There is something special about this time of year – the days are getting longer, and we begin to move from a hibernating state to that of activity and life (winter to spring). As you may have noticed, the Major Spoilers website has undergone some change in the new year, and we are quite excited about it!
If you are like us, you’ve already filled your belly with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. While I like fresh, homemade cranberry sauce, it was my grandfather who taught me you can appreciate cranberry sauce from a can. I also remember that after eating at my grandparents house as a kid we would all pass out in a Triptafen induced coma, until my grandmother called us all back to the table for pumpkin pie. I’m thankful that I had those times with them all those years ago. Today, I’m thankful for so many things (some of them you…

During our recording of Zach on Film: Singin’ in the Rain, our computer system crashed. When it was relaunched, the recording was still there, and everything looked fine. Even after the evening’s recordings, the files were still present and accounted for, everything was saved, and we went about our Major Spoilers business. Today, however, the story is a bit different. Now the system can’t find the audio files, and we’ve looked everywhere. It can find the audio files for the show we recorded immediately AFTER Zach on Film, but not the files for this episode. This has only happened one…

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, we continue or examination of newspaper strips with a look at Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time.

The entire body of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons published in a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Composed of three hardcover, four-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase,…
This week, Major Spoilers takes a look at Charles Schulz’s Peanuts. This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination to Peanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series’ first two or three years have never been collected before — in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we’re all familiar with. (Among other things, three…
