Did not like this one ^ Even though I am a HUGE Futurama fan (so glad to have the four new dvd's) and have not missed a single Futurama calendar, I just did not like the 2009 calendar and its art theme. I never thought I would give two stars to anything Futurama-related, but making parallels with well known artwork did not do anything for me; I replaced it with a Stars Wars Clone Wars calendar. Nevertheless, I am already planning on buying the 2010 Futurama calendar. Fry and the gang are so addictive!
An Ideal Engineering Cube Calendar with Dilbert's ^ I have this at work along with Dilbert, but this is the one I use more often as I like the little daily features like birthdays and strange festivals !
Fine art, Futurama style! ^ Futurama and great art, what could be better? Great art with a futurama twist! The classic images of M.C. Escher,Edward Munch, da Vinci, and even Andy Warhol, are wonderfully recreated with our favorite Futurama characters. A must for any fan of the series!
I like the calendar. ^ It's just as good as the last 5 Futurama calendars. I'll keep buying them because they are alot of fun.
So cool! ^ I'm really glad I found this calendar shopping today. I love futurama and art, so this was a really cool find.

Escher "Bond of Union" March- Alexander Calder "Lobster Trap and Fish Tail" April - James McNeill Whistler "Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother (Whistler's Mother)" May - Andy Warhol "Double Elvis" June - Leonardo da Vinci "Mona Lisa" July - John Singleton Copley "Watson and the Shark" August - Grant Wood "American Gothic" September - Roy Lichtenstein "Blam!"
