Sunday Brunch: 6/13/10
I bought a sexy new computer yesterday. I’m writing this on its decade-older cousin, however, because it’s hard to blog when your only available monitor (er, besides this one) is the TV.

Friday in the YA Library
Full disclosure: this isn’t really about comics. But it brushes up against them, and also animated cartoons, in a couple of places.
