If you're bored, how about telling me where's the link for CCI: Lost?
Was there not any LOST panels at SDCC '08 this year?
If so, why haven't anything been posted at CBR?

Unless the panel was about an upcoming comic based on the series why would they post about it on a comic website?

Because CBR has been covering all of CCI, not just the comics-related stuff (re: BSG panel).

There was a panel, but I don't recall seeing a CBR article about it.

LOST? Here.
Now, where can I find coverage of the Venture Bros. panel?

The image is kind of accurate, but somehow the industry gets lower and lower every time it does a lap.

I was just wondering, then Funky kind of answered it for me: Is that an image of the industry climbing to greater and greater heights? Or is it an image of the industry sinking to lower and lower depths? Maybe it all depends on if your staircase is half full or half empty of fanboys.

I think the point is it is an optical illusion. It appears to be rising (or falling) but it is really going nowhere.

It's really just an igloo without a roof.

Igloos are round.

The image here is an optical illusion, much like the works of M. C. Escher, a notorius graphic artist. His work is unparalled!

A lot of artists need to work on drawing buildings and perspective better, I agree.
