Unfortunately, Philip José Farmer passed away [...]

A Month of Pulitzer Prize Winning Cartoons – Day 5

Do note that we’re talking basically 1922-1967 here, as since then, the Committee has awarded cartoonists generally for their [...]

Thoughts on the Search for the Next Sorcerer Supreme
I find it pretty amusing that Marvel is actually doing stuff like “Odds on who will be the next Sorcerer Supreme,” because, really, folks, and I mean this with absolutely zero disrespect to Brian Michael Bendis, but come on, the guy doesn’t go by what “makes sense” for stuff like this.

It’s still pretty odd that it took them over two weeks to make it official. [...]

After this year’s NBA All-Star Weekend, during which wee Nate Robinson leaped over Dwight Howard to win the slam-dunk contest (Howard was wearing a Superman cape, like he did last year, and Robinson was wearing a green Knicks [...]
