Every Day an Earth Day

The funny pages are yukking it up for the environment with Earth Day-themed strips on Tuesday, April 22nd. Forty-five King Features cartoonists are taking part in this first-of-its-kind comics initiative to raise awareness about the environment and the health of the planet.
Participating strips include favorites such as Blondie, Hägar the Horrible, Beetle Bailey, Mutts, Zits, Baby Blues, Bizarro, and Dennis the Menace, as well as King Features’ newer strips such as Arctic Circle, The Pajama Diaries, Retail, Ollie, and Quentin and Tina’s Groove.

My favourite is Mutts by Patrick McDonnell. Check out http://www.kingdigital.com/earthdaycomics/

Trailer Footage Chris Sharma climbing in China

Check the footage from Mike Call (Momentum VM) as a trailer for their newest DVD. Not too much climbing but the atmosphere is cool enough.

Also have a look at the other previews at 8a.nu - global.

BigUP Productions - Catalunya Full Swing

Put two of the most amazing sports climbers now existing (Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra) together in a potential 'heavy' climbing area and let them attack the rock. Film the whole caboodle and shake it up with some cool music. Voila! Result: another awe inspiring video. Hopefuly there will be news in short notice. Check the site of BigUP Productions.
