I kind of dig this guy’s artwork.

If you’ve ever spent any time looking at artists’ websites (maybe because you occasionally follow links from Drawn! or something), these observations will be familiar:
In the thirteen years I’ve been on the web, twelve of which I’ve spent doing professional web site design, and the last two of which have sent me to hundreds of [...]

Paul Pope is doing a limited edition exclusive THB story, to be published by AdHouse Press (who will also be publishing his PulpHope, the Art of Paul Pope in July), that will only be given away at the San Diego Comic Con.

Reading the introduction to a compilation volume of Modesty Blaise strips a couple of weeks ago, I learned that back in the day, syndicated cartoonists were basically rock stars: big bucks, a bunch of young hopefuls to do half their work for them, fancy sports cars, globe trotting vacations, etc. Must be true - check [...]
Send Lawyers, guns and… fuck it, just send guns and money

Our legislators are idiots who couldn’t lawyer their way out of a paper bag*:
Omar Ahmed Khadr, a Canadian national, faced murder charges for killing an American soldier in Afghanistan with a hand grenade when he was 15-years-old. In a surprise ruling, the presiding judge at the war crimes tribunal Monday, said he does not have [...]

Instapundit notes:
CHEW THE FAT WITH CHEWBACCA: Adventurecon is in Knoxville. Also here, and perhaps more interesting to InstaPundit readers, Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from “Firefly”).
OK, so Instapundit is older than me, but come on. Ron Glass isn’t “Shepherd Book from Firefly”. Ron Glass is “Hey, isn’t that the guy from Barney Miller?”.
Trivia: on an episode [...]

Nicolas Sarkozy was Jean Reno’s best man. (per IMDB)
Watched Empire of the Wolves last night- OK, Weird in that “French Movie” way, but the end was kind of like the Matrix where you wished they were more creative with the “why” - and really want to see the Crimson Rivers.
A plea to the Economist

Too late, of course.
(maybe not what the artist was thinking about when he created it, but it fits)
Start choppin’

Chuck caught Dinosaur Jr in Minneapolis and wrote a nice review, which reminds me I haven’t got their new album yet. I also note that on June 11 (which I think may be the same night SciFi is airing the latest Ghost in the Shell movie? Oh well) they’ll be playing a free show at [...]
