| 4081 | Article | NLogan | Your ambition for Pooter knew no bounds writing letters like crazy. I never wrote to a company, I only sent in my proofs of purchase for cereal box mail-a-way offers. | Aug 26, 2017 |  | |
| 4086 | Article | vkimo | Nice piece, I can tell a lot of work went into formatting it. You definitely took Pooter the whole 9 yards! | Oh Pooter! | Aug 27, 2017 | |
| 4088 | Article | Radical | @Vaporman87: Yeah, I left it open-ended in case I ever wanted to repoot him. My skills have almost met my ambitions after all these years. I do feel Pooter's decade was the 90s, like Eddie Murphy's was the 80s. @NLogan: My brother and I would write letters to every business, enter every contest, and send in proof of purchases for every cool toy. Not sure how my parent felt about it, but they provided the stamps and envelopes. Snail mail was awesome in a way that social media isn't: tangible and professional. I always wanted Sonic or Mario to read my letters, which I'm sure they did. @vkimo: Hey thanks! The formatting worked its way out while I was writing it, but I had to start off with an obvious poot joke to clear the air. Would you believe the most time and effort went into identifying and finding fonts they used in 90s kids magazines? I eventually used a Scrapbook making software that had 1000 fonts in it. | Oh Pooter! | Aug 29, 2017 | |
| 4095 | Article | Superman | Nice job. I can tell why this was one of the winning articles. You obviously devoted a lot of time into turning Pooter into a star. Perhaps he is a well remembered icon of the '90s in some alternate universe. That would be kind of cool, wouldn't it? | Oh Pooter! | Sep 03, 2017 | |
| 4343 | Article | comic_book_fan | great article we have a couple of places like your icecream spot locally we have frosty freeze and the frosty mug if you want a burger your better off going to the frosty mug they make great big homestyle cheese burgers and you can still get your icecream but when i was growing up we had frosty freeze 2 which was better than both my mom would always go by a local goodwill and me and my brother would always hit the video store and frosty freeze 2 which were on each side of the goodwill and you could always get the huge custards from there that place was awesome. | Hometown Love: Local Childhood Eats | Apr 04, 2018 | |
| 4362 | Article | Superman | My favorite local eats growing up were my local pizza place (Barton's Pizzeria) and my local burger joint (Miner-Dunn). | Hometown Love: Local Childhood Eats | Apr 18, 2018 | |
| 4146 | Article | Superman | This reminds me of some of the contests Fox Kids used to run. I entered a few of them but never won. It was always my dream that one day I would be a winner, though. If you ever see an active listing for one of those Spy Kits, I think you should totally buy it for her! Better late than never, and it would make for a very sentimental gift. | My Sister and the Harriet the Spy Nickelodeon Contest | Sep 23, 2017 | |
| 4150 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Very sweet story of Brotherly Love (sans the Lawrence Brothers). The idea of not understanding the odds against you in these contests is so right on. Ahh, the optimism of childhood. | My Sister and the Harriet the Spy Nickelodeon Contest | Sep 24, 2017 | |
| 4127 | Article | Superman | That's a nice assessment of two great films. The two of them are really neck and neck for me, but I've written how I would break things down below. Best Batman: Batman Begins (but only slightly) Best Batmobile: toss-up (I really liked the Tumbler, even though it doesn't much match what the Batmobile should be.) Best villain: Batman 1989 Best love interest: Batman 1989 Best Gotham: Batman 1989 Best Commissioner Gordon: Batman Begins Best Alfred: Batman Begins | Old vs. New: Batman vs. Batman Begins | Sep 13, 2017 | |
| 4139 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Very interesting to get your perspective on these films as someone who wasn't in the thick of Batmania in '89 like I was. I think Nolan's first 2 films hold up against Burton's very well, but lack the fun comic book hyper-realism that Nicholson and Keaton enjoyed with the production design of their films. Batman '89 gets my vote for most entertaining comic book movie of all time, but I'll admit there's a heavy dose of nostalgia leading to that decision. | Old vs. New: Batman vs. Batman Begins | Sep 20, 2017 | |
