A Mason jar is OK, too; if you see a bank president, you know what to do.
Scroll down to the bottom of Postmodern Barney, where
Dorian Wright has a review of
Ursula which contains the sentences "On an artistic level, it's an absolutely gorgeous book." and "Probably the best way to look at it is as an exercise in creating an emotional repsonse in the reader. If so, the book is a resounding success."
Bill Harms and Steve Morris are giving away this awesome painting, done especially for this event at the Isotope:
...and here's a link to
Loose Cannon #31 (from August 17, 2001) wherein I point out how .pdf files are like neighborhood cats.
She smiles and walks the other way, as the last ship sails and the moon fades away from Black Diamond Bay.
Erstwhile pundit
Graeme McMillan has a teaser and some kind words for Jon Proctor's and my
The Black Diamond up on "Fanboy Rampage."
Check out some of that sweet pro-on-pro action over at
The Pulse as writer Bill Harms talks to artist Steve Morris about their upcoming graphic novel
Bad Mojo. Keep an eye peeled across the blogoshpereiverse for an exclusive look at a neat piece of art that you might be able to win on September 8.

Tune into
Fanboy Radio today at 11 am Pacific (that's 2 pm Eastern for you, Maureen McTigue!) to give a listen to me being interviewed about what it's like to be friends with Brian Wood and James Sime. Oh, and hopefully my riff on there being no difference between the shortest-run hand stapled mini and the latest issue of
Spider-man won't get edited out.
That one never gets old.
...and here's a link to
Loose Cannon #30 (from August 10, 2001) wherein I write the mighty paragraph, "Apparently, the entire world has gone mental. I used to think it was just the comic book industry, but now I'm pretty sure there isn't enough common sense left in the United States to fill a bathtub."
I'm just mad about Saffron; she's just mad about me
It seems all the kids know about
Demo now.
James Hatton over at Comics Nexus says, "
Demo is a book that is what our happy little comic book world needs more of." and "
Demo, as a book, is the type of thing people should be talking about. It's a strong story month after month, and deserves any kind of acclaim it can find. Do yourself a favor, and give it a shot."
And since
Demo is out trying to find its own acclaim now, I think I'll sit down and catch my breath.
And speaking of finding its own acclaim,
the Divine Johnny B checks back in after his trip to NYC with this quote about
Demo: "Maybe if I was a bit closer to its target demo-graphic, if you'll excuse the expression, or if I had recently experienced something as awkward and painful as breakups tend to be, I'd be more enthused. But hey, it was still very well executed, the visual equivalent of "uneasy listening", if you will, so you may like - there's something to be said for a tale well told.
A-"
...and here's a link to
Loose Cannon #29 (from August 3, 2001) wherein we find me begging specialty retailers to not turn their brains off. The customer may not always be right, but they're usually standing in front of you, and it's insulting to not interact with someone in the "now." Written back in 2001, I'm still pretty much like this, and have not mellowed much with age and advancing decrepitude. Flunkies everywehre, I beg you: pay attention.
