They do make them like that anymore

The utterly delightful flash game Grow has sprouted an utterly delightful sequel, Grow RPG. They're both wonderful - go, play, enjoy.

And speaking of utter delights, I'd also recommend taking a peak at these copyright breaking scans from the recent Spider-man/Human Torch series. It's written by Dan Slott, who's lately been doing some sterling work for Marvel applying a comedic spin to some of the more obscure corners of the Marvel Universe (possibly the only way to deal with characters as diverse as She-Hulk, The Mad Thinker (and his Awesome Android), and Squirrel Girl). All the elements in the story, from the Spider-Buggy, the Red Ghost and his Super Apes, and the Hostess Fruit Pies are drawn from Spider-man canon and the result is delicious slice of whimsy. Go, look, enjoy.
