This is Dewey, my blind but wonderful cat. He’s actually snoring.
For me, this is a weird post. I’m not typing this on my PC, but rather on my new Samsung Moment Android phone. My wife’s phone died, so we upgraded both our phones to this model. She’s (rightfully) suspicious of having her data wedded to [...]
I found out about “Bubble Boy”, the Colorado boy who had supposedly snuck into a weather balloon built by his family and was stuck inside as it went skyward, probably the same way as you: Twitter. I looked frantically for a live feed, found one, and watched as this helium balloon slowly started to shrink [...]
If you want it
You can have it
But you’ve gotta learn
To reach out there and grab it
–Weezer, “Photograph”, Weezer (The Green Album)
Today begins the first day of my new adventures. I’ve been having adventures all my life- I just wrapped up an adventure that took me into midtown Manhattan every day, next door to Bernie Madoff’s [...]
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
A few links aren’t working after the latest upgrade. I’m upgrading the blog to a new version of WordPress, and will soon be migrating over to a new domain. Details forthcoming.
Just opened my copy of the Kirby biography by Mark Evanierfrom Amazon today. It SMELLS like old comics. And that’s a good thing, a wonderful thing.
I’ll be able to say more about it after I’ve read it. But good God, the book smells like a pulpy old comics store. And that’s the feeling you should [...]

(Any accusations that I picked the title for this post just so I could post up an old school jam are completely, 100% true.)
I’m ending my months of silence on the blog starting now.
2007 was a weird year for me. In the first few months of 2007, I was basically crippled. I had a painful [...]
Mike Wieringo passed away yesterday of an apparent heart attack. Newsarama has the details.
From all accounts, Mike was a healthy 44-year old vegetarian. All who knew him said he was in great shape. His death feels senseless.
I’ve never hidden my love of the Fantastic Four. When I think of the stories I’ve enjoyed the most, [...]
From Newsarama:

It’s the 50th anniversary of this great cartoon! Go catch it on YouTube. (Thanks to Fark.com for the reminder.)
If you ever wanted a desktop wallpaper with lots of pictures of the Wasp, boy, does Marvel have a wallpaper for you!

I was at Wizard World Philly with my buddy Glenn Walker of Comic Widows. A con report will be up shortly. In the meantime, check out Tripod’s “Comic Shop”.
From today’s Bad Signal:
“ Almost ten years to the month that John Cassaday and I had our
first conversation at San Diego about creating a new series: I have
just completed and delivered the full script for PLANETARY #27,
the final issue of the series.
I am now going to get drunk and find something to have sex
with. I’m [...]
Why, do you ask? I give you three reasons.
1. Dwayne McDuffie really has a handle on what makes the Fantastic Four unique. It’s not just four people with superpowers; it’s a family. And even though that family is going through post-Civil War jitters, and Reed and Sue have been replaced with the Black Panther and [...]
This is scary-brilliant. However, I suspect Brandy Clark would have talked to Bill Mantlo, not Roy Thomas. Still, brilliant.
Thanks to my friend Ray Lopez.

At Gail Simone’s board, one of the posters (Ed Contradictory- what an alias!) posted this, and my heart stopped.
I edited it to fit here.
And to answer your question…no, it’s not an authentic strip. Someone made it in Photoshop. But it still stopped me cold.
By the way, Gail Simone is one of my favorite people on [...]
ESPN’s Bill Simmons had a link to sadkermit.com, with a clip of everybody’s favorite frog singing Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”, complete with images of Kermit shooting up heroin and staring at portraits of Miss Piggy and Jim Henson. It reminded me of the saddest comic I ever read, Chris Aubry’s “I Still Think Of You, Jim [...]
TwoMorrows is publishing a book about the greatest inker ever, Joe Sinnott.
I’ve bought a ton of TwoMorrows books over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. John Morrow and his crew do a fantastic job of covering the history of comics and the lives of the people who make them. John has a special love [...]
