  1. If only Mickey was painting a little Iron Man figure...that would be timely!
    no pun intended.

    I love it...great logo, too.

  2. Yes. It is a nice coincidence on the timing, "cast member".

    Does it really matter if one evil corporation takes over another evil corporation?

    I miss the days of feeling like Brian's Pluto.

  3. The term "cast member" sure takes on a different tone when you google the term Plaster Caster.

    Ditto the comments on Pluto. Good times.

  5. The pun is a little subtle, but Timely was the company that became Marvel in the 1960's. Or did it go Timely > Atlas > Marvel? I'm not too sure.

    "Cast member" was an inside joke. Sorry. Ant works for Disney and was sent an e-mail from a higher-up explaining the Marvel acquisition. The letter was addressed "Dear Fellow Cast Members,", which I found to be a delightful bit of corporate-speak worthy of George Saunders.
