Hello, Amazon? You already know. My publisher and I prefer that DRM not be inflicted on The Solomon Scandals. Now here are similar thoughts from Simon Haynes, author of the Hal Spacejock series, the first book of which is a free download to entice you to purchase the others. Buying details for the o...

My schedule's off again, owing to the TCM. com Underground gig. I'm getting too old for a long shift like yesterday's, instead of bouncing back today, I just sort of crashed and burned after an afternoon of lettering and inking. Got bored with the lettering (as is often the case) and started inking ...

Joe - @JoeNBC - Scarborough told me (and all of his Twitter followers) to go read a long and wonkish “autopsy” of the now deceased conservative movement at TNR: Conservatism Is Dead. (Yeah … I KNOoooW!) Sam Tanenhaus traces the evolution, or rather convolutions of what conservatism...

So I read the Graphic Novel "Watchmen" for the first time over the last week. Yes, I am late to the game. :D I loooooooooved it as many of you who know me can probably assume. I mean, Dystopian Tales are my favorite things in the whole wide world so why wouldn't I? I am of the opinion that they cove...

Seems I owe you a concert review. Aside from makeovers and oil changes, and niece niceness, I was in Galesburg last weekend to hear the Knox-Galesburg Symphony.

With all due respect to Dejan Kovacevic, I think today's article on Nyjer Morgan is flawed. It's not an unfair article, but it fails to examine the facts it presents. I'd like to discuss some of the facts from the article point-by-point, not for laughs, but because I think that under there...

Who listens to the Watchmen? We do. For hours. You can’t deny the massive marketing push behind this comic adaptation, but if you think you’ve seen a lot, you ain’t seen nothin yet. In the middle of pirating videos, infiltrating sets, and press screenings, we were tugged aside and ...
