As a former daily cartoonist myself, I can assure you that newspapers are definitely replacing old, dying strips with nothing at all.

It’s part of an overall dislike of the costume redesign they did for the New 52 where his costume looks more and more like either armor or a super-rigid onesie. An armored Superman seems inherently wrong for the character to me. The red briefs are also borrowed from what seems to have inspired the original look of the…

I somehow get the feeling a female cartoonist is going to be less interested than Guy Gilchrist was in drawing a sexy brunette with a huge rack.

These people are nitwits. The last few weeks of strips by the prior artist have featured a Kardashians joke and a TMNT reference. But, yes, a video game joke... that’s beyond the pale. Besides, Olivia’s art style is more true to Nancy’s origins, and so is the style of humor. I like it.

Because, as a concept, it’s insular. It’s unimaginative. It’s looking backwards. It’s playing it safe. It’s filling in backstory where it’s absolutely not required instead of venturing into new territory. It’s potential for failure is great, as it could harm the legacy of a beloved character. It’s redundant - Han Solo…

Yes. It’s all the other things this movie has besides Han, Chewie, and the Falcon that have me interested. I wish that they would have just gone the Rogue One route and had it as it’s own thing taking place in the SW setting.

At someone who found the very concept of this movie to be a groan-worthy miscalculation, all these recent trailers have me ridiculously, dangerously excited. Here’s hoping!

I’ve actually got Kasell’s voice on my answering machine—got called up to the stage and won it at a live WWDTM recording. Now I think I’ll just sit & listen to it a couple of times. R.I.P.

I listened to the digital archives of Wait Wait every day at work for close to year after I first discovered it. I fell in love with everyone involved, and Carl Kasell, especially, were like family I never had. This is sad, sad news.

The trial is also getting dragged out because everyone called to the stand has to scream:

On one hand, I hope Miller gets what he feels he deserves.

I love Bloody Mary’s, but my heartburn prevents me from having them any more. Between the spices and the tomato juice my chest cannot take it.

My uncle once did a similar thing, except it was completely unprompted. He just asked 7-year-old me if I wanted a sip of his apple juice and then laughed when I found out it was whiskey.

That reminds me I like tomatoes, but I hate tomato juice. I can’t get past the smell. I can sip a Bloody Mary, but I would never order or finish one.

Get her on Antabuse now!

If spending the most money gives you the best Star Wars opinions, then the Disney corporation is the final arbiter on all things Star Wars. They spent $4 billion on it, and they really like The Last Jedi.

The reaction from the fanbase to this movie is so incredibly disappointing but ultimately not surprising. The state of today’s geekdom is why. Today’s nerds don’t want any challenge to their preconceptions of things, they only want the comfort of things they already enjoy. This is why something as absolute garbage of…

1. No. The original trilogy existed for over twenty years without a real explanation for how the Emperor came to power and seduced Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. We were just told that it had happened and that was enough. The same is true for Snoke. We began this trilogy in media res. As Snoke is not the heart of…

They made Luke Skywalker interesting. I love the original trilogy. I love Mark Hamill. I have read an ungodly amount of Expanded Universe stuff. And most of it, however hard it tries, can’t make Luke interesting. He’s The Hero, The Beacon of Hope, The Savior of the Galaxy, the Jediest Jedi in all of the Jedi. Even…
