Yet another reason why I love the AV Club . . .Thank you!

Canada's moment of silence is called "Winter".

What's he up to these days, anyway? I loved Dork and Milk & Cheese but I feel like he's dropped off the face of the earth.

I agree, Scott McCloud says in "Understanding Comics" that the reason he's doing that book is because for most Americans "Comic Books" = "Super Heroes". Most people do not think of comic books as an art form with many many different genres, and are so shocked to then find something they like. My wife also loved…

I would LOVE to see a "Crumb" style documentary about Dave Sim. I can't imagine he'd ever let one get made, though.

Good call with Zot. It's a logical next step after "Understanding Comics" gets someone interested. "Oh, well, this is by the same guy! Enjoy!"

Before they changed how they categorize punctuation . . .
. . . .it was "And you will know them . . ." by . . .And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.

Scott McCloud!
A lot of adults I know still won't go anywhere near comics, and nothing I say can convince them that they're just for kids.

I know; I met both Sim and Bisette years ago at a small press convention in Vermont. Both of them were the nicest, most supportive guys, always talking about how great everyone else's work at the show was instead of their own, doing sketches in return for donations to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, just all around…

Phew, that was a close call. I was thinking "That Cynical Ass" wouldn't live up to his name.

I know it's a buzzkill
But I'm happy to see this become a daily feature.

In your head, where it belongs.

The "Voltron" edition of "Depressing Remake News" is probably due any day now, so you may want to prepare yourself.

What's Nice N' Smoove up to these days? They'd kill it.

If you start eating at Carl's Jr. a few times a week, the "fat" part will take care of itself. Probably the bearded part too, because you'll get so fat that you'll be too lazy to shave.

Good thinking. I've stepped on a few d4s in bare feet back in the day. Ouch.

UPDATE: We're being played
Can you imagine a Fox Exec, live on stage at Comic Con, NOT renewing Futurama? He'd be beaten to death with iPhones and D20s before he left the stage.

You are, so for God's sake put some pants on.

I just pulled those names off of the top of my head, but now that I think about it, Robert Evans would be an amazing Zap Brannigan.

So they're having
Tom Waits, Ghostface, Robert Evans, Terri Garr, Will Wheaton, and John Hodgman do all the voices instead, right?
