I liked the responses that Mark Singer and Jamie S. Rich posted to the article Not Funnies by Charles McGrath (July 11, 2004, New York Times). Marc and Jamie brought into focus many of the problems with the article and the way alternative comics get held up by the press as somehow more legit than [...]

This is spooky, via popculturejunkmail,
My Little Borg Pony and Baby TooCuteous of Borg. I’m not sure which is more terrifying, being absorbed by the borg hive mind or a site full of my little ponies.

I’m back home again! I spent a large part of my vacation shopping for books and reading. I think I finished reading 6 1/2 books and 4+ volumes of manga while on vacation. Sometimes I forget how quickly I can tear through a novel given blocks of uninterrupted time, especially when I’m reading some not [...]
