Adult? Why my kid taught me everything I know about stealing the bodies of sex workers! Besides, if he wasn't out doing that, he'd be up all night playing pool and sucking on jujubees.

lemme work on choking down some broccoli first. On the other hand, even now, I have some lil' buggies at work on a sourdough starter.

Ah Cook and Moore.... sigh...

best topic for a "What I Did This Summer" essay ever.

CJA is right- there are no more stories in the Potterverse for Rowling to tell.

Well, this certainly helps explain the weird rages he flies into whenever Marty asks him to recognize the State of Israel.

"Cat cutting methods?" Man, Wicked Week at Lifehacker is way hardcore.

B:B&B is one of the few cartoons I've felt were entirely appropriate for my 1st grader; I guess my trust was misplaced. Even if the song weren't as racy as it is, I'd still prefer my son to encounter women who are strong without being sex kittens. Gail Simone has done great things to raise awareness of women in…

It's a little... Leni Riefenstahl...

I trust Paul Cornell— even more for his Doctor Who stuff than his comics work— but for all the writers who've putzed around in the Dreaming (remember the endless Endless spinoffs?) no one quite nailed the tone of Sandman, though Grant Morrison wrote a creditable Daniel for JLA and Lucifer found its own path.
