• Commented on D&D camp, circa 1982
  I actually finished up the last cred I needed towards my BA at Shippensburg. I can imagine there'd have been some great LARPing on that campus if such a thing had existed back when....
• Commented on Things that have always been true for the class of 2013
  Once again, like the other Beloit alums on here, I would like to urge everyone ready to have a bird that this list is merely intended to encourage dialogue, and that no one is so reductionist as to believe that...
• Commented on Dan Clowes interviewed by Mike Sacks: "Sylvester P. Smythe is the most unappealing character of all time"
  I agree with the earlier comments that John Severin was the best thing about CRACKED; when he withdrew and was replaced with a hack named Walter James Brogan is when I myself withdrew as reader. (Later, Brogan dropped what I...
• Commented on Michelangelo's The Torment of St. Anthony
  I get to guard this sometimes. What people expect to see never seems to jibe with what they get. It's not very clear in this pic, but you can see one of the female demons has mandible labiae and her...
• Commented on Remixing Nancy comics
  @Shmerker, so as to credit the responsible parties, it was Scott McCloud who invented Five Card Nancy. Except Lee-Nova's don't even seem to have been created randomly, which is where the true magic of the synchronicity in "Nancy" comes in....
• Commented on 08: A Graphic Diary of the Campaign Trail: beautifully designed, superbly written history of the 2008 election in graphic novel form

• Commented on The Strange World of your Dreams, 1950s comic book by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon
  Another masterfully done dream comic is "Roarin'" Rick Vietch's RARE BIT FIENDS. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it on here before, but as it's been a while since I've commented I just noticed that it seems my profile's become unhitched...
• Commented on Rayguns of Edison Giacattoli
  The One That Got Away immediately put me in mind of my toy robot collection. I was just talking to old classmates last night about my wish for an Omnibot (and the later Omnibot 2000, c. 1986). Not quite as...
• Commented on Mister Jalopy: "$upport Independent Business and Reject the Fakers"
  Relatedly, DIESEL SWEETIES' R. Stevens' well-known "Bacon Is A Vegetable" t-shirt slogan was recently ripped off by a CafePresser. To the credit of both CafePress and his fans, once the latter informed the former the ripoffs were wished into the...
