News flash: I’m old. I did 24 Hour Comics Day once before, probably a dozen years ago. Not only did I finish, I finished early. This time… not so much. I could blame this on many factors (this event started at 6 pm so it had already been pretty much a full day before the…

An open letter.
[I posted this on Facebook yesterday, where it got a surprising amount of traction. I figured I’d better put it here if I ever want to find it again.] Dear Senator Feinstein, Senator Booker and sundry others: Congratulations!

Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) – Yeah, yeah, big B-movie guy who never watched this before, sue me. It’s obvious that none of the people involved in creating this… thing (all marshaled together by writer/director/producer/star Harold P. Warren) had never made a movie before. It’s also a supportable contention that none of them had…
Things I Learned at FanX.
Well, not just at FanX, but it did drive the education home: Sometimes I’m just too clever for my own good. My latest poster, Clan of the Cave Mouse, got absolutely no attention. Partly that was because the prints I got from a local print shop were a lot darker than the image looks on…
