Pop culture roundup: Wally Wood; DC Nation shorts; Shankar and Jones; monster cereals!

The Golden Age shares a few Wally Wood-illustrated comics from the 1960s, including work on Flash Gordon.

I don't have cable anymore, but it's nice to know I can watch all those nifty DC Comics animation shorts airing these days as part of the Cartoon Network's DC Nation program block right here.

Here's a video of Anoushka Shankar's new single, "Traces of You," which pairs her with half-sister, singer Norah Jones. Shankar and Jones are both daughters of the great Indian musician Ravi Shankar.

Atomic Pulp reports the return of General Mills' 1970s "monster cereals" this October, just in time for Halloween. In past years, Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry have all returned to supermarket shelves in the fall, but this year also will include the presence of two more cereals of the past: Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute. I don't recall eating either, and probably shouldn't try them now at my advanced age. But maybe I'll get them for the kids and have a taste.
