The Blot is as big a Booster Gold fan as there is, and he's doing his best to raise his children properly. By which I mean turning them into Booster Gold fans, of course.

This our second look at The Blot's collection, gathered mostly from Etsy.com. I showcased the doll on the right back in November 2011, but the doll on the left comes from the Blot-recommended Etsy store of PlushKafe.

If you've got kids of your own, do the right thing: put a Booster Gold doll in their hands! The next generation of Booster Gold fans is counting on you.

Twenty-two years ago today, Booster Gold ambushed Kilowog in Superman: Man of Steel #10. At the time, the Green Lanterns' rings were vulnerable to anything colored yellow. That made Booster a good tool for Brainiac to use against them,

The "Panic in the Sky" story ran through several issues of the linked Superman titles in early 1992. Superman assembled a team of heroes — the Justice League being temporarily disbanded at the time — to stop Brainiac from using Warworld to conquer Earth. Booster Gold only played a small part in the story, but as we all know, a little Booster is better than none.

Herbert Fung is a big fan of Booster Gold and likes to collect Booster Gold sketches. He's been nice enough to share what he finds with us when he can. Recently, he sent us another sketch by his friend Alex Chung.

Says Herbert:

"I guess I should have asked for the pre-New 52 version, but he actually makes the new look work!"

Nope, that's not bad at all. You can click on the image above to find more of Chung's work on his Instagram page.

Back in July 2012, I estimated that I'd see my first profit from the advertising on this website in December 2014. I want to congratulate all of you for beating those expectations! Google tells me that my check for $100 in advertising revenue is in the mail. Whoo-hoo!

On the flip side of the coin, Amazon.com has told me that since I haven't generated a single penny in sales for them since 2009, they are going to confiscate the $4.63 they've been holding for me since then. Google's payment threshold is $100, but Amazon sets the bar at only $10. In 4 years, I haven't been able to clear that bar, so it seems only fair that they sweep me from their ledgers.

The side effect of this is that Amazon isn't just emptying my account, they are deleting it. That means that I will soon be removing all Amazon.com links on this site. I don't suspect that anyone really cares: obviously no one was using them anyway.

Once again, thanks to all of you who click through the (real) ads on this site. That income is going to pay for web hosting, so your actions have ensured that Boosterrific.com will be around for another year. Thank you.

Before the game this past Sunday, all the talking heads wanted to discuss Peyton Manning's legacy. Sure, Peyton had a bad game, but at least he wasn't gambling on the Seahawks. If Booster Gold can bounce back, I think there may be hope for this Peyton Manning guy.

Last week's poll question: If Booster Gold had become an NFL quarterback instead of a super hero, would he be better than Peyton Manning? (39 votes)

Two years ago, I asked which Olympic summer games event Booster Gold would be best in. Now that winter is here, I ask again.
