Craig in Lego Form
There are some talented artists out there, and whenever we find one that likes to use their talents to highlight Craig Ferguson, we’re happy to share it. This time, @GlenBricker has assembled Legos in the form of Craig at his desk, gesturing at a Doctor Who TARDIS. Why the TARDIS? Craig is a fan, but also because @GlenBricker is hoping to convince Lego to market a Doctor Who-themed Lego set in the future. Thanks to the RSA’s @NancyInTampa for giving us the heads up!

Stretch Goals
Because the RSA’s @IKnowJoJo‘s kickstarter project to produce a printed version of her web comic Craigy Who and Mr. Timey Pants reached its first goal so quickly, she added a stretch goal with a prize of Craigy Who stickers. That stretch goal was reached almost immediately, so she has added another: This time if the new goal is reached, supporters will receive a Craigy Who bookmark. Support for the project has been great and the printed version of the comic is scheduled to be completed in late May. Donations are still being accepted, and we’ll keep you posted.

Awards Season
After seeing Craig’s emphatic statement this week about not wanting to host awards shows, we were reminded of this monologue from 2006, where he rants about awards and hosting awards shows.

Comic Campaign
When Craig Ferguson‘s robot skeleton army goes on the march, things get accomplished. The RSA’s @IKnowJoJo officially launched a Kickstarter campaign early on Monday to fund the printing of a comic book, based on her successful web comic Craigy Who and Mr. Timey Pants, which features Peter Capaldi as the Doctor and Craig as his companion. The printed piece will have 10 complete episodes of the web comic in printed form (eight episodes have been posted online so far).

Within a matter of hours, the project had already made its original goal, making the print run possible. Now, Jo tells us she’ll be adding a “stretch goal” to the project. You can still make a contribution and receive rewards based on your level of giving. Great work, Jo!

Remind You Of Anyone?
The RSA’s @HoboRobot is always keeping an eye out for interesting things on the interwebs, and suddenly made a discovery this week that could explain so much about Secretariat‘s distinctive appearance. If you remember the situation comedy Bewitched, you know doubt remember Samantha‘s scheming mother Endora, portrayed by actress Agnes Moorehead. When you see a photo of her character alongside our favorite pantomime horse, the resemblance is uncanny. Could Secretariat be a tribute to Endora?
