Since I can't seem to find the time and/or energy to write anything, and don't particularly feel like chiming in on the latest blogosphere controversies (although this whole marvel_b0y thing is amusing) I think I'll just post some links. I'll probably update them as time permits today, so please check back later, 'kay?

First, the above cartoons, found at Every Day Is Like Wednesday, perfectly illustrate my reaction to most superhero comics, at least the rank-and-file Marvel and DC ones, these days. Funny stuff. Here's the latest in the series, with links to the others.



Also, via J.Bone we are directed to the website of one Arthur De Pins, who does some nicely expressive cartooning in both traditional and digital media. And whose girls look an awful lot like Bone's recent Wonder Woman illos. Hm.

Everyone go bask in the genius of Mike "Steel" Sterling!


More when time permits!

Been reading Dick Hyacinth's look back on his formative comics geek years, part one and part two, and it's an interesting- and typically cleverly written- series of posts so far, well deserving of all the Journalista, ADD Blog, and so on linkage that it has elicited.

That said, I did the same thing back in 2004, and nobody linked to it. So I just wanted to put it back out there just in case anybody cares, and also because of sheer stinking jealousy.

Edit 2:03 PM: Oh, by the way, I've been spending some time correcting spelling mistakes and so on in that three-year-old post, and boy were there a bunch of 'em. And it rambles, too. But anyway, just thought I should add that since late '05, I've been getting my new comics from DCBS, shipped every two weeks (which is why my reviews are always so late). I still stop by the BG Great Escape occasionally (just went there last Saturday as a matter of fact) to pick up bags and boards and the occasional back issue, CD, or new comic. But especially these days, now that gas is so high and I don't work down there anymore, I'm kinda glad I don't have to make that drive.

Hopefully, I'll review the last two books I'm lacking tonight. I also got my very first pull quote recently, on the back of Chris Wisnia's newest giant monster opus, Where Urban Creatures Creep and Stomp!. I am honored, sir. I just wish that the quote made sense! I know it came from a review I did ages ago, but I wish I could have rewritten it. Oh well.

Also, thanks to ADD for the link! Much obliged to ya, pilgrim.

Cheers!
