Or Goddess. When I left the house this morning all of the steps of my stoop were slicked with ice, covered by a thin layer of freezing water which was pelting from the sky in huge drops. I made it down the first step only to start to skid on the next two. Luckily I… Continue Reading

Sometimes I’m a fanboy…
So much of a fanboy, that I totally got flustered when Lynda Barry was signing my book, so all of the pictures I took of her were like this one. I don’t mind however, because she did indeed sign my book, and we did indeed exchange chat. I told her how Philip and I originally… Continue Reading
You think your life is weird?
Things are batshit crazy over in the Archieverse I may just have to go out and buy this. Tags: comics, weirdness… Continue Reading
The tragedy of the skinless frank…
Thank you internet for telling me about the existence of something I had no inkling of; namely the debut of Foreskin Man, the “Intactivist” hero whose new adventures promise to be hair raising if not so very wide ranging. I get that the way to win hearts and minds is to enlist the next generation… Continue Reading
Envy is the other mother of invention…
I wish I could draw like Kate Beaton. It’s a deceptively simple, sketchy style that encompasses a whole range of facial expressions and body language. When you think about what’s going on there its two things that are not easy: having a repertoire of different ways of drawing people (including costumes and hairstyles) and knowing… Continue Reading
Hold it to your ear…
Part of my office chair fell off last night. What will provide me with high tech lumbar support now? It’s always a pleasure to see a friend teach well. So it was a good night at TES. I’m late to the pod cast party, but now they are the soundtrack to my commute. Thanks, Thor… Continue Reading
Double plus…

Allergies were under control on the morning walk, and I made it to work in time for my meeting. So life, as… Continue Reading
Again on the go-go…
I went from: a quick return to MoCCA, where I saw LJ’s VernNYC, to the East Village for the gallery talk of my friend Linda Matalon. I got to meet up with Dan And Julia, and then had dinner and extravagant frozen treats with Angel and Sebastien. It was a busy weekend. Generally feeling good… Continue Reading

Here’s how I knew I was at a comic geek event: at the door, the cashier asked me “Has anyone ever told you you look like Alan Moore?” I knew that MoCCA’s fest was going to be chock full of delights but the first thing I did after assuring the cashier that no one had… Continue Reading
Assorted notes
Had somewhat grandiose hopes of cutting my book collection by about a third to donate to ICP’s benefit book sale. That isn’t happening, but at least I’m getting six boxes of them out of my house. And boy am I ever reminded of how many books I have on hand to read. Messing around with… Continue Reading
