This Place Is a Dump
"Up in Smoke" is a tragedy, not a comedy, when you're talking about comic books.
Last week's poll question: Which comedy duo's stylings do Blue and Gold most remind you of? (32 votes)
The holidays are here, and they fall on a Thursday this year. So the poll is moving to Fridays until after New Years. (Fridays used to be the regular poll days, so this might familiar to long-time visitors.)

The Reason They Invented the Internet
So here's how this comic book character blogging thing works:
Earlier this week, I paid a visit to The Irredeemable Shag's FirestormFan.com, which just happened to be running a post on the "Great Heroes" DC trading cards from 1987. They were trading cards printed on backing boards included with 3-pack comic books in the late 1980s. I'd never heard of these before. Could there be a Booster Gold?
For more information, I followed Shag's link to CosmicTeams.com, where, thanks to the assistance of Michael Kooiman, I can now show you this, the first Booster Gold trading card, copyright 1989:
The card was just one of 8 on its original board. You can see a picture of the whole board at Kooiman's slideshow of the entire set at ComicTeams.com.
This card has been added to the Boosterrific.com archive of Other Media appearances. But while Michael was giving me the pic for the card above, he graciously forwarded a great scan of the one and only Booster Gold pog from SkyBox in 1993!
My thanks to Michael (and Shag!) for helping make Boosterrific.com more complete than ever.

Tooting My Own Horn
I've finally put all the Flash ads that run above the site banner on one page for your enjoyment. You can find them here: www.Boosterrific.com/advertisements/
Salesmanship or narcissism? You be the judge.

They Don't Have This Problem in the Year 2462
I have no Internet connection, so this is all the post you're getting today. Hopefully this will be resolved by Monday.
Enjoy your weekend

I Had To Recode the Site To Make This Work
All the cover images on this website up to now have been static jpgs. However, next month we'll be getting our first ever Booster Gold lenticular image and DC has been kind enough to assemble animated gifs showing us what to expect.
I have a well-deserved reputation as a sourpuss, but I have to admit that I'm excited about this. I was never a huge fan of the cover gimmicks of the 90s, but then, Booster Gold never got one of those.
I think it's so cool to have a moving Booster Gold cover, I've had to rewrite the code base here at Boosterrific.com just so when the time comes, I'll be able to display it.
September 24 can't get here soon enough.
