Dog of the Geek: Yippie, Yappie, and Yahooey!

Breed: Generic

Original Appearances: Segments of Peter Potamus and His Magic Flying Balloon, 1964-1967

Other Appearances: Unknown.

Biography: Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey are the three dogs that serve as the royal guards to the King. When the King would call on them, the trio would swing into the scene, calling out their names as they did so (somewhat like Space Ghost and Birdman did in the opening credits of their shows), usually causing some kind of disaster.

Powers: Since they're Hanna-Barbera creations, naturally no matter what happens to them physically, in the next scene they're fine.

Group Affiliation: Royal Guard of kingdom.

Miscellaneous: Given their dress and that there are three of them, this trio seems to be a parody of The Three Musketeers, whom Hanna-Barbera would do a somewhat more traditional take on in the later Banana Splits Adventure Hour. Voices of the trio were done by Doug young, Hal Smith, and Daws Butler.

Comic Book Ink Needs Your Help!

I honestly don't know how many of my readers are living in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, but for those of you who do, I wanted to put the word out about something... John Munn's Comic Book Ink (located in the Lakewood Towne Center) is in serious danger of closing in the next few months unless they get some much-needed revenue! It's a shame to hear about this happening, because not only is John a helluva great guy, he's also been committed to making Comic Book Ink the best comic book store possible!

Anyone reading this who is able to get over to the shop and find some goodies to purchase (or even just some gift certificates to use in the future), please do so as soon as you can!

You can find out more about this situation on the Facebook event page.

Thanks for considering this!

Castle of Frankenstein #10!

Now Entering Reduced Content Mode!

As mentioned early last month, the Random Acts of Geekery is going into reduced content mode through the summer, to give me a chance to get caught back up, as well as to prepare some new features and reorganize things! I hope you'll continue to check in daily to see what feature comes up each day!
