NOTE FROM JEFF:

Beatles drummer Ringo Starr will be the
“reluctant superhero” star of a new
animated series by comic legend Stan Lee,
to be released on DVD in 2006. He’ll have
superpowers and “a great sense of rhythm.”

The Top 7 Surprises in the
Ringo Starr Animated Series

7> Apparently “Captain Ringo” is the least talented member of
the Justice League. Even behind Aquaman and the Wonder Twins.
And their dog.

6> The show’s pilot episode actually fulfills one of the final
prophecies for Armageddon.

5> “Oh, my God! You killed Pete! You wankers!”

4> The supervillains are all voiced by Yoko.

3> He goes undercover as a homeless man to the happenin’ d

remix of “We All Live in a Yellow Coupe DeVille.”

2> He was actually chosen *before* Pete Best this time.

1> To make his amazing rhythm seem believable, Ringo’s
caricature actually resembles a young Neal Peart.
