So much fighting could have been avoided. TV: AMC will air a six-episode marathon of the entire first season of The Walking Dead this Friday, March 4 starting at 8 p...

Tiny Kitten Teeth followers already know what the artistic super-duo named Becky and Frank can do together. Their classic-looking, Richard Scarry-esque illustrations make for fine webcomics, and they also work quite nicely for tributes to video game series like Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog and the as-of-this-week 25-year-old Legend of Zelda...
