Go here. Then come back and tell me if I was exaggerating, even a little, about what you can expect from Season 2. IMAGE DELETED

Sorry I haven’t written much in the past couple of days. I’ve been dealing with something. Just a quick journal note: Mary and I made major progress, and laughed ourselves silly, plotting Hard Time: Season 2 #6 on Tuesday. This may be the strangest story I’ve worked on since the duck’s nervous breakdown, and yet […]

I am trying hard not to look into the pit, but the edge keeps creeping closer, and — oh! I see! It’s the fucking Grand Canyon — and look! — the Colorado River runs thick and black with slowly clotting blood, all the way to the Temple of Vishnu.

Mary forwarded this article to me. No, it’s not a gag. (Even if somebody at Yahoo can’t spell the plural of “hero.”)

At least 31 states are taking steps to teach alternatives to evolution. A CBS poll last November found 65 percent of Americans favor teaching creationism as well as evolution while 37 percent want creationism taught instead of evolution.

He’s partially disabled, but fully capable of handling any job that involves sitting at a computer and punching keys — data entry, word processing, proofreading, etc. — or telephone work. If you live in NYC […]

I’ve always wondered whether Wall Street would figure this out. (Join the site if you have to. It’s free.) The Motley Fool article links to a blog post by Rivkah Greulich, an American writer and artist of manga for Tokyopop, that’s even more interesting. She gets it. Completely.

Today is my birthday. I look at that number and, even in my current infirm condition, cannot comprehend it. I once thought I would be a model of aging gracefully…but no. Apparently, I’m going to age screaming in protest. In this, if nothing else, I am a typical baby boomer. There *has* to be a […]

IMAGE DELETED As promised, here is the panel from *The Brave and the Bold* #28, the very first Justice League of America adventure, that makes me cackle every time I read the story. Green Lantern destroys Starro the Conqueror, thereby saving the life of every human being on the planet. And what’s he concerned about? […]
