Trump Flu Blues Prevention IV - Puzzles Pages

Okay, campers! We've got things to keep your brain busy today - a dozen puzzles for your amusements. 

Hmm...
Are Connect-The-Dots puzzles? 
Maybe only 10 puzzles, depending on one's definition. But we do have the most interesting Connect-The-Dots i've seen. They found a way to totally hide what the finished picture will be. You'll see what i mean.

But first, let's start with Spidey -

yes, answers will follow - but not today.
Hopefully, none of these ran previously on Friday Fun & Games. They're hard to search for double-checking.

Trump Flu Blues Prevention III - Colouring Continued

Winter must be in full retreat. My body seems to have cycled around to waking at, or before, dawn. Last week i was barely to sleep by the time i wake this week. Has the Trump Flu isolation been affecting your sleep patterns? Do you find yourself becoming untethered from the clock?

Anyway, we've got more idle entertainments for passing the hours while hunkered down to avoid Trump Flu.

This morning we've got another dozen and a half colouring pages for an assortment of amusements ranging from Acid Archie riding a dinosaur to a Gil Kane pin-up of the Lone Ranger to the Surfer's Prayer to poster art for the never made sequel to Flesh Gordon. (Not to be confused with Flesh Gordon Meets The Cosmic Cheerleaders, the made sequel to Flesh Gordon)

As i indicated i would do last time, they're a tad smaller - sized to print 8"x10" at 200dpi.

yeah, i suppose i should have paid attention to where these pages came from, eh?

If you want to know about some, ask, and i'll try to track the source(s).

Trump Flu Blues Prevention II - Building With Edison Bell

Once upon a time people had to entertain themselves on a regular basis. Philo was still staring at corn fields and Net was for fishing. What's a poor bored person to do?

I've made no secret of my fondness for boy genius/inventor comics, and i think we can find a bit help from some of them. So, let's jump back about 80 years and get some advice on how to build some fun from one we've yet to meet - Edison Bell.

By this point, you might be wondering "Who the hell was Edison Bell?" (because it rhymes)

Let's visit Blue Bolt #1 and get a peek, shall we? 

Edison was around for quite a while. The Grand Comics Database lists nearly 200 appearances (likely including some reprints). 

Next time we visit with him, we'll look at more of his comics and not just the Make'em pages that appear at the end.

Trump Flu Blues Prevention I - Colouring C'thul'hu

Yesterday we notioned collecting some art for colouring pages to help keep folks entertained while hunkered down to avoid Trump Flu. The ol' wandering brain seems to have liked that notion and much gathering has occurred. So we'll make it a series. 

Let's kick things off with some actual colouring book pages, this batch from Marc A. Damicis and his -

I got rather carried away with prepping these pages. They're all sized to print at 8"x10" at 300dpi. We should probably stick with 150dpi for future batches. 

Yeah, i'll try to go with something a tad less disturbing for the next batch. But the Lullaby Festival was coming up, so the the Sleeper was on my mind.

Y'know - it can be a lot more fun colouring on the computer. Especially with some of the comic book art we'll be running. So i believe i'll put together a quick beginner's guide for those who haven't tried it. There's nothing like using excess free time to learn while you play. (Yes, i'll point to some free software that can do the job)
