The NY Times has an interesting article about Comics adapting Hollywood tools for comics creation. And granted the information in it is actually reading, but I have to say, what interested me most about the article was that it was in a major metro (national?) newspaper and didn’t use the standard media cop out onomatopoeias that usually pollute comic headlines. Good job, NY Times.

yes, that means new episodes this week. Until then, vote for what you want to hear reviewed next.

Just a quick note, I’ve been recording, should have a new episode up soon. But until then, go over to Adult Swim.com and watch the entire pilot of the Drinky Crow Show based on the comic by Tony Millionaire.

Definitely Adult Swim humour, but not horrible.

This is why I’ve been lax with the Podcast lately (like I need a reason, right?)

Everyone say hello to Serenity Jeanne Campbell, the little girl born May 1, 2007 at 5:38PM.

My daughter. That seems so weird to say.
