Maintenance Notes

I've written to Blogger to find out how I can scootch down the template a bit so you can see the top again. I've also added retailer Brian Hibbs and DC senior editor (for collected editions) Bob Greenberger to the Kultcha Guys list. Now that we're at the point where we can actually think about reshelving our 20,000+ comics, I'm trying to get back into that aspect of my blogging life. I just sorted our July/August DC comp box and marked off the comics in the biweekly haul we get from Midtown, so that brings my reading pile back up to two solid boxes, but hey, I'm making progress! My most recent marathon reading has been Jane's World; Paige Braddock kinda has a Doonesbury-ish style (the older strips drawn entirely by Trudeau, not the more recent ones) with an Alison Bechdel sensibility, but it's not really politically-oriented as much as slice-of-life stuff with some cool fantasy elements thrown in. And Robin and I have two social-event New York comic conventions coming up in September, the Big Apple Con (pending acceptance; we're all set for their National Expo in November but I only just asked about the September one) and Ithacon, one of my favorites 'cause I get to drive through the Catskills at the height of fall foliage season and hang out with Roger Stern and Carmela Merlo whom I never see often enough. So come the autumn I expect the obligatory comics content portion of this blog to increase a bit more.
