If I told you to draw "Booster Gold and Skeets," odds are your drawing wouldn't look like this:

That drawing, by jaznaju, comes to us by way of Drawception.com, a web-based, visual game of telephone. Like traditional games of telephone, where whispered messages can experience hysterical generation loss between speaker and listener, the most amusing Drawception games occur when someone encounters a phrase they don't understand. Like when you tell someone who doesn't read comic books to draw "Booster Gold and Skeets."

If that sounds like your kind of fun, check out Drawception.com.

I really wish I'd found this sooner:

On DeviantArt.com, cosplayer Vanessa takes credit for her role as a humanoid Skeets:

This is from about a year back [at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo 2013] where my bf and I were Booster Gold and a humanoid Skeets at Comikaze. :D It was our first cosplay and we really didn't know what the hell we were doing. Only one person got that I was Skeets (lol), but after I told the admiring Booster Gold fans, they were very excited. I've never seen a Skeets cosplay, so I thought I was pretty darn original, and the people who got it loved it. The best part was that every time I sat down I would leave a glittering gold butt print. It was great.

What a great idea!

The photo was taken by David Ngo, whose cosplay galleries on Flickr.com are truly staggering. You can see more of Vanessa's ideas at Fatalist555.DeviantArt.com.

I'm left wondering if there is a big overlap between cosplayers and fan-fiction writers.

Last week's poll question: What type of fan art have you created to celebrate Booster Gold? (57 votes)

I finally got my hands on the "Heroes Unite" expansion for DC Comics Deck-Building Game. Now I can play as Booster Gold! Whoo-hoo! How do you like to play with Booster?

Booster Gold got a name drop in the digital release of Smallville: Chaos #1, but he's back in action with Skeets (!), working with Smallville's version of the Justice League in Smallville: Chaos #2. You can tell he's the most important member; he's the one doing all the real work.

Smallville: Chaos #1. Writer: Bryan Q. Miller, Art: Agustin Padilla, Colors: Carrie Strachan

This issue is available online (as Smallville: Chaos #2) at Comixology.com now for 99¢, but the printed version (as Smallville Season 11: Chaos #1) won't be coming to your Local Comic Shop until August.

It was 20 years ago today that the most famous car chase in American history captivated our attention.

On June 17, 1994, the nation watched as the L.A.P.D. chased a white Ford Bronco along the Los Angeles freeways at a show-stopping 35 miles per hour. Of course, the driver of that Bronco was one Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson, a Hall of Fame football player suspected in the grisly murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

"The Chase" was a ratings bonanza, with an estimated 95 millions Americans glued to their televisions that Friday evening. How could another former football player with his own checkered history not want to get in on that kind of free publicity?
