I may not be wearing a ball gown and pearls anymore but I am still a little girl at heart who loves to make a night of the Oscars.

OK, fine. This is true. BUT! I still won my Oscar pool last night, so I'm a happy camper!

The holidays are a time filled with joy, happiness, laughter and tradition. My family has a tradition of watching four holiday movies every year: "Elf", "Home Alone", "It’s A Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas".
Thatababy and its "Home Alone" reference got me really excited to start dusting off the DVDs and spend a few evenings with my family.
If you haven’t seen these movies, consider spending some quality time with your family this holiday season.
"Elf"
"Home Alone"
"It's A Wonderful Life"
"White Christmas"
Don't forget the popcorn.

One of the most popular editorial/political comic storylines this election season has been a woman's right to choose how to handle matters regarding her own body. This involves overall health, but also the choice to carry a child to full-term. 2012 Pulitzer Prize finalist Matt Bors, in a stroke of comic brilliance, took this literally. Women are fighting back, but they now have an advocate: The Avenging Uterus.
Bors' Avenging Uterus (yes...it was fun to type this and say it aloud) has made several appearances in his editorial cartoons over the past few months. From chiding Rush Limbaugh to educating Congressmen that storks do not deliver babies, she is on a mission: to keep the world safe for lady parts.
The series now has its first animated episode! Check it out here and let us know what you think.
If you were lucky/crafty/conniving enough to have secured/swindled/stolen your ticket to the hottest event of the year - Comic-Con International in San Diego - there was some much-anticipated good news for you today: The Thursday schedule was released!
Universal Uclick and GoComics will be there. Will you?
The Norm creator Michael Jantze has landed his first animated short, "Mr. Lux: At Your Service", in the Short Film Corner at Festival de Cannes 2008. A brand new Jantze creation, the extraordinary Mr. Lux always provides the guests of his hotel with dazzling, five-star service.
You can watch the Mr. Lux short by clicking the Play button below. Visit TheNorm.com to read the official press release.
Great news to follow-up yesterday's post (and demonstrating why creator blogs are such a good thing). This morning Paul Gilligan announced on his Pooch Café blog that he has reached a movie deal with Sony, producers of the CG films Open Season and Surf's Up, to bring a computer-animated Poncho and the rest of the gang to the big screen!
Fans know Pooch Café is full of material - the Poncho/Chazz/Carmen triangle, Poncho and friends plotting against the neighborhood cats, Poncho's field trips with Fish. And who isn't already dreaming about a "fully-operational" Cat-Catapult in the film's final act?
Keep watching Paul's blog and this one for updates, as the next year or so will see the first stages of development, including story and character designs. Congratulations, Paul!
More GoComics movie news today, as New Line has picked up the film rights to Drafted, one of the newest titles from comic book publisher Devil's Due. Drafted is one of the featured titles in the Devil's Due collection that will be available on mobile phones in early 2008 through the GoComics mobile comic book reader. (Read The Hollywood Reporter's New Line story here and the GoComics-Devil's Due mobile announcement here.)
In Drafted, an alien race makes contact with Earth only to bear the grim news that another alien race has plans to invade and destroy humankind. Earth's inhabitants have no choice - they must prepare for war or face certain destruction...
