Because this thread didn't exist. Got mine today for Xmas, got some nice art on, I somehow found out Eric Rogers wrote everything on it. (Like jokes and stuff.) Each month is a parody of a real life magazine, e.g. Playbot and stuff. Pros*2 hot Amy covers and 2 of Leela, but only one of them is pretty hot... *Lot of detail on the magazine covers and some obscure-ish characters on one or two. *The actual cover of the calendar is very nice, but you can find that on Google Images... Cons *Fry is only featured on it once, and it's in November! *The Professor isn't on it at all. (From what I've seen...)

Thanks for the info, Danny. I just realized that I don't have a 2012 calendar yet!

Ditto! I keep procrasinating on that...the cover art looks very cool, very oldskool Futurama back when they actually used tubes...

Dunno if there was a reference to Season 6 on the 2011 Calendar, but the 2012 one mentions V-GINY.

Usually, the Futurama characters do have a bigger head in relation to the body. This Amy pinup is closer to normal human proportions than the show version, means a bigger body, longer legs, larger breasts etc... compared to the head/body ratio seen in the episodes. Edith say: Made a quick comparison: Both Amys are about the same height, and the breasts also do not vary that much in size. But as the Pinups Amy's breasts are larger in comparison to her head, she looks overall bustier than the show version.

Dammit, this calendar is sold out...everywhere. Now people are trying to sell it on Amazon for $1000-$5000 a piece (I am SO not joking here). Looks like futurefreak loses out this year.

The last few years, anyway. But I only started getting them in 2008 or 2009 I think.

So, uh, what's the best way to hang a calendar up?
I used to put a nail through the hole at the top and blu-tack on the 2 bottom corners, but the top still ripped off from the weight of the bottom. Then I did the same, but put blu-tack on the top 2 corners too. And that's just messy.

I am also not overenthusiastic about that calendar. The magazine cover joke is nice, but imhO not worth being told 12 times. Somehow, I miss a few larger scenes with more persons and details (I like details.. )

Thanks for the suggestions guys. And I regret throwing out my Futurama 2009 calendar, had some awesome art on it.

You what!? You threw it out!? ... Also, why is there a discussion about how to hang them up? Put a nail in the wall, put the calendar over the nail. It should hold on its own, all of mine have. Yes even in January they have been perfectly fine. Nothing else has ever been required. This is of course unless they've started making the calendars out of shitter quality materials?... I haven't bought a calendar for a couple of years or so, but I do have a collection of many old Futurama calendars dating right back to the start. I never threw any out, and I never will. I saved them all and kept them in good condition, because that's what a real collector does! ...

What are you doing with it, DannyJC13? You're not also attaching 1 kilo weights to the end of it are you?...
