I would love to make this, but I don't think I could do it justice. |

I might give it a try, because this was a really funny comic.
I have experience in these kinds of things. |

the beauty of the idea is a whole magazine devoted to explosions - not just a funny cover. A letters section ! |

This is my friend's "website" from a couple of years ago.
I recommend the Photo4, Photo5 and Photo6 Pages. |

Dear Editor:
I'm having trouble with a DIY explosion. It's just not getting the nice mushroomoid shape that I desire. Perhaps you can give me a few pointers? The explosion is made by igniting a tank of helium with a string fuse. Are certain conditions necessary to produce the effect, or am I simply using the wrong materials?
-frustrated in Kentucky
or
Dear Editor:
What if, hypothetically, I were to use an explosive to open a vault in a local bank, hypothetically? What explosives should I use (hypothetically)? Should I hypothetically orient them around the opening in a certain fashion? How do I keep it from damaging the hypothetical money inside? Thank you.

Dear Editor:
I have to say that I disagree with last month's winner of "Most Aesthetic Explosion" internet contest. While the winner certainly had some brawn, I felt that PyroBoi15's explosion should have won for class. The color was much more vibrant, and the shape was way more interesting. While FireKilledEmporer's submission had an interesting multiple-sphere thing going on, Pyroboi15's was nearly symmetrical with a nice blossom. Furthermore, the engaging angle of ignition and the creative visual message was just stunning in ways that dwarfed your favorite pick. This contest was clearly biased towards FKE's magnitude- am I the only one who feels that the size of an explosion should be secondary to finesse?
Thank you for your time

I will surely continue to post- but I have to say they won't all be as memorable as that one. |

It's kind of empty, though. I say we put THAT background on Corey' taglines. |

Since it is a holiday special, it is allowed to be more empty. I guess? |

It strains my credulity, or something, something is strained, something is straiend to think that the mind so genius as to create an exlosions magazine would only call it "Explosions Magazine." Nice though that typeface is.
OK, now shout me down! |

Guys.
Come to England.
They have a course called Fire and Explosions.
That is in a town a few minutes from where I live. |

The one ryan linked was well made but pretty lackluster- content wise. |
