Click on the cartoon to see the other panels. There are some old tried and supposedly true axioms. One is that if you acknowledge you are crazy, you probably aren’t. Another is that by the time that you realize you are in the Illuminati, it’s too late. But how about the one about cryptid sightings? In a blog called “Why hasn’t anyone seen Bigfoot?”, the blogger Thudfactor writes: Not that there aren’t any witnesses. It’s just none of them are credible. In his Darklore essay, Loren Coleman makes the point that part of the reason these witnesses aren’t credible is [...]
Bigfoot Boogie
Which of these three do you think is the most popular online video in America today? A. B. C.
Bigfoot for President ‘08
February 5, 2008, is Super Tuesday. What is being called a historical, nearly national, primary for American politics will be a great day for pinback button collectors. But where are the humorous cryptid collectibles? I have conducted almost 50 years of investigating cryptozoology throughout America and the world, and devoted a sizable amount of time in preserving popular culture cz items along the way. I’ve picked up every tangible object I could obtain on Bigfoot and a universe of varied cryptids, needless to say, and now they are in the museum, or awaiting display in storage. Little known to most [...]
Super Bigfoot Sunday?
Actually, Bigfoot does not seem to be part of Super Bowl Sunday for 2008. The game is in Arizona, so even the “off-the-field” media attention is not on any version of the Southwestern Sasquatch. Or even Skinwalkers. The news organizations could have interviewed some locals (Natives and others) in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah on Skinwalkers, couldn’t they? But noooo. Right after the game, the news organizations will turn their cameras back in the direction of the “Super Tuesday” (also called “Super Duper Tuesday” and “Super Tsunami Tuesday”) primary races. As far as cultural cryptofiction impact, the superbad film Strange [...]
Nyet Strange Wilderness, Si Lara Croft and The Mummy
Talk about a movie drowning in its own swampy mess! I jokingly call for and strongly petition Bigfoot to be removed from this movie, for heaven’s sake, because Bigfoot does not deserve this film. That wasn’t funny, was it? Well, neither is this movie! This may be the worst film to have a Sasquatch in it since the biker flicks made for the drive-in outdoor theaters during the 1970s. The reviews are in and they are not pretty. MSNBC captured it straightforwardly in their review’s headline, “Strange Wilderness scrapes bottom,” and then their subheadline, “Screenwriters seem to have no time [...]
Opens Today: Strange Wilderness
Strange Wilderness opens on February 1, 2008. How it will play in comic cryptofiction cinematic history remains to be seen. Do you think there is any reason that this often-delayed movies was slotted for Football Super Bowl weekend for release? Is there not much hope this will be the comedy blockbuster it was once forecast to be? Did you like it? Does it work as humor? How does the search for Bigfoot come off in the film? Inquiring minds want to know. The plot is about animal enthusiasts who try to help the ratings of their TV reality animal show [...]
Take A Boggy Creek Break
Turn your television and lights off, go to full screen, sit back and act like you are back in 1972…and remember, don’t go near that window:
Bob Gimlin Sighting
Sarah Utter doesn’t say much about what happened at the Bigfoot gathering, but does report she had a Bob Gimlin sighting in her town. The local mainstream media took care of covering the event, as it turns out. But thank goodness for grassroots folks like Ms. Utter. Besides taking his photo, Ms. Utter seems to have been just as interested in snapping pictures of the signs on the trucks that showed up to see Gimlin.
Hotline For Sasquatch?
This was passed along to me this morning. It raises many good questions: So you’ve seen a Sasquatch. Who are you going to call? The provincial wildlife branch’s 24-hour hotline, 1-800- 663-WILD (9453) is a possibility. Ever had any sasquatch reports? “I don’t believe we have,” the operator said. Actually, the hotline is for such sightings as cougars or bears being where they shouldn’t or injured goats along the Trans-Canada Highway, according to the operator. Nor does the wildlife branch bother with Sasquatch sightings or the hairy humanoids themselves, according to spokesman Don Gilmour. “We don’t track them,” said Gilmour, [...]
