Clobberin’ Time, no more?
I was never a really big fan of the Fantastic Four during my comics-reading days*, but they are one of the iconic comics team, featuring characters nearly as foundational as Superman himself. And now, Marvel is apparently canceling The Fantastic Four, … Continue reading
Marvel Heroes By Height
I saw this on Tumblr. According to this, Spider Man and I are also “height buddies”! (I doubt Mystique would give me the time of day.) Where do you fall?
BOW BEFORE ME, FOOLISH MORTALS
The other day I speculated on who might be drawing the substitute art on the comic strip Pearls Before Swine. Today, the Internets are afire as Pearls creator Stephan Pastis has confirmed my hypothesis, with details as to how it … Continue reading

For Cal….
(Cul de Sac is one of the best things ever, by the way. I’m so sad that it ended.)
