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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s the 50th anniversary of this great cartoon! Go catch it on YouTube. (Thanks to Fark.com for the reminder.)

Why, do you ask? I give you three reasons.

Until now.
This is an amazing story. Rather than gloat about his [...]

From Warren Ellis’s Bad Signal, with his permission:
Okay.  I just this second got the go-ahead from Nick Lowe to talk about this.  So here we go:
Sales on the singles are okay, if not great. Sales on the first collection have apparently been terrific.  
We were on such a roll with NEXTWAVE that I was [...]

Go here. The interview was in support of Neil’s new project, Fragile Things, a collection of short stories.
He’s not kidding about the lines at his signings, either; I’ve waited 5 hours to get an autograph from him before. And he was as charming at midnight as he was during the 7 pm reading. He’s definitely [...]

Here’s his column in CBR.
He talks about how he ends up buying and rebuying newer editions of his favorite comics, specifically mentioning Absolute/Omnibus/oversized editions.
He did miss one fun aspect of rebuying, though. Last night, my wife told me that one of her friends had an 11-year old son who was just getting into comics, and [...]
