Okay, it is still very much a work in progress (as it is a total pain to write down all these blogs, so I’m only up to “E” of the OLD blog roll, let alone adding all the NEW ones!), but a skeletal version of the the Comics Should Be Good Super-Duper Links Page is […]

So, I am going to my very first comic convention (I have always avoided them in the past) this Saturday and Sunday with the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo in Columbus, Ohio.
Who else is going to be there? We should meet up!

Friends, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Links!
- by Brian Cronin
- Friday, April 13th, 2007 at 2:57 PM EST
As you may have noticed, the blog roll is now missing on the sidebar of our front page. Let’s admit it, the thing was pretty cluttered, and I do not know if anyone was ever actually using the thing. It wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing thing. Instead, we will have a whole separate links PAGE […]

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this before! Remember that movie ticket giveaway thing I had awhile back? Well, at least one of the winners didn’t get a movie ticket out of it, but instead received, like, a Ghost Rider hat or something like that. I thought that was absurd, so I wrote to […]
