673787, COTM: A dying breed Posted by lonesome_d, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
Looks like some good stuff came out last wk, more on the way this wk.
Are Cerealfusion and I the only ones to do the Secret Satan? Not that I've done it yet (sorry Cere). He hooked me up with a book that looks great and a sweet Arya Stark figure.
Library's parent-child comics club had its first meeting last Tuesday. Good turnout, very interesting. 6 out of the 10 kids were girls, and they were all there because of Amulet. 5 out of the 10 kids were Asian (3 South and 2 East). We were all supposed to take a book we were into. I took Snarked; my daughter took Bone; and my boy took a Calvin & Hobbes collection. One kid had a graphic Don Quixote (not the Eisner one) and all he wanted to talk about was the 'inappropriate' sections ("there's this one page - here it is - and look, there's a naked man and woman, and they're kissing!"). The librarian asked him about the other books he'd brought (he brought a few) and he just said 'Oh, they're... inappropriate." I checked out his stash later and one of 'em was a Johns GL book. Hilarious.
How long before this Nic Pizzolato dude gets tapped to write comics? Seems to me he'd be excellent.
What else? Paddle season's just about over. I have some snowdrops up in the garden but they keep getting frozen and snowed on. Last Thursday night three chickens never made it back to the coop. I got home at 12:30 and found them. One was huddled under a pile of logs, so I had to drage her out by the tail. It was also 7 degrees at this time. Fun stuff.
So as always, any & all comics chatter and other bullshit below. Maybe he can go half-plat this month...
