Once and future podcaster from The Sitcom Club. I also edit (and somehow swung a co-producer credit for) A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs. From Yorkshire, living in California. ''Practically Mexican'' according to my late wife (she liked to exaggerate)

My eyes read The Paul Daniels Magic Christmas Show Casualty as all one thing. Just a whole show devoted to Hans Moretti's ambulance ride from TVC to Charing Cross.
A book by German magician Hans Moretti. The cover portrays him having pushed a sword through his forearm and he is reacting to this with understandable alarm. There's blood and everything.

I did my some phoroshops of my own alternate Morbius Doctors and Horton was one of them, suggested by Mrs Araiza.
The scene in The Brain of Morbuis wherein Morbius battles the Doctor in a mind-duel, revealing one of the Doctor's hidden lives from his past. Except the Doctor who's dueling is Iain Cuthbertson and the face revealed in Edward Everett Horton.

HARCOURT BROWN WAS RIGHT!
The year is 2035. The first astronauts have landed on Mars. They find a cave with a human skeleton and 4 words written on the wall. What are the words?

A panel from Real Fact Comics #1 about "Raffles: The bird who thinks like a person" with various celebrities comments. I have changed it to "Raffes: The bird that can swear like a man!". The celeb endorsements read: Gracie Allen "His fame is a sign of how far we have fallen as a nation!" Don Ameche: "Learn to pronounce Ameche correctly. Then maybe I'll give you a quote." Bob Hope: "Little b*****d almost cost me my career!" and in the middle is Raffles himself saying into a radio microphone "Big c**cks!"

Repost with an iconic fictional band (if you feel like it)
The Undeads from Phantom of the Paradise, like a German expressionist version of Kiss.

If you see this, post a record cover with a motor vehicle on it.
The cover of the 1972 Beach Boys album Carl and the Passions: So Tough. It's the title painted onto the door of a red car with some beahc parasols and a palm tree reflected in the window.

A newly found telesnap from The Massacre II: Electric Bartholomew
A picture of Cleo Rocos and Patrick Troughton performing a sketch together in 1985. Troughton is dressed as a senior cleric of the Catholic Church and he's staring straight at Rocos's bosom. This picture is taken from an article in the Telegraph. The caption from Ms Rocos: 'It was always funny having me dressed as a nun in stockings and suspenders': | Credit: Radio Times

[Googles] He looks like Sebastian Cabot who was once the subject of one of my alternate history Photoshops.
A fake CBS program slide for a non-existent Nero Wolfe show. In the foreground is Sebastian Cabot as Wolfe, in the background is Bill Bixby as Archie Goodwin.

My latest purchase is a model of the Subway Rocket, which doesn't count as a Batmobile because it runs on rails.
A Corgi brand toy of Batman's Subway Rocket. It's a blue Batmobile-like vehicle, but with eight wheels designed to rub on subway rails.

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, look on my works, my nine children, two or three grandchildren and Rolls-Royce motor car and despair. It's a full life."

Too niche?
The title screen of 1970s sitcom The Many Wives of Patrick. I've changed the title to say "The Mighty Works of Ozymandias".

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".
Eric, the first British robot at the Exhibition of the Society of Model Engineers in London, 1928. He has a plate on his chest with RUR on it as a nod to the play by Karel Čapek.

Sometimes I think about the times Batman's vehicles have a picture of his head on them. I think Nolan's trilogy would have benefitted.
A panel from the October 1952 issue of Batman. The Batmobile features a huge rear fin upon which there is a picture of Batman's head in a yellow circle. The "Tumbler" Batmobile, from the Dark Knight movie trilogy, upon which I have Photoshopped a picture of Batman's head in a yellow circle.

If you see this, post a Frankenstein!
Issue 1 of Prize Comics' humorous take on Frankenstein from 1945. The monster is rendered in a cartoony but detailed way. Most notable about this version is that his nose is nearly in his forehead (and would be drawn that way inside the comic).

Arguably the adaptation most faithful to the novel. Also, I dig the bit where Frank Finlay's Van Helsing doles out cocoa to the vampire hunters.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.
A painting of Batman and Robin. I'm afraid I don't know the artist. The poses appear to based a 70s/80s piece by Giordano or García-López.

It's not like DC Comics doesn't have form.
The cover of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #98. Superman in a problematic witch-doctor headdress is marrying Jimmy to a gorilla. Comics!

And like fellow music superstar Heino, who wears shades to hide his exophthalmos.
The album 28 Goldene Heino-Erfolge by German schlager singer Heino. He's a distinctive looking fellow with his thatch of light blond hair and dark glasses. The picture does not convey his commanding baritone.
