Booster Gold makes an appearance on Batman: The Brave and the Bold airing this week on the Cartoon Network.  Now if there could only be a flashback story featuring Booster and Ted Kord, that would rock. More after the jump.

Miss Ted Kord as the Blue Beetle? The January 23, 2009 episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold features the duo teaming up for a prison break.

In this TED Talk, Scott McCloud summarizes his Understanding Comics tome, very brilliantly. In this unmissable look at the magic of comics, Scott McCloud bends the presentation format into a cartoon-like experience, where colorful diversions whiz through childhood fascinations and imagined futures that our eyes can hear and touch.
