Some uplifting reading for this morning:
• Wil Wheaton pens a love letter to Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
• I sense a match made in heaven between proto-giraffes Caroline David and Dylan Jennings.
• Chris Clarke is back! with a message from Zeke to his admirers. (The poem is a parody of this.) Update: And this is must reading for any activist with pets, and without pets for that matter.
• Speaking of dogs, Sheri Zellinger has had a tough day.
• The Rude Pundit compares red staters to Amway suckers. I think the improtant thing to remember about this is that neither is stupid. My Californian brother and ex-sis-in-law bought into the Amway dream (I'm sure Steve recalls that nigh-interminable trip with them where they were blasting the tapes all the way from LA to Tijuana), and they weren't stupid. It always, always comes down to what Peter Stone wrote in 1776, "don't forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor." That doesn't make them dumb, it just makes them human.
• Like Jessica, I also got a kick out of Marjane Satrapi's view of superhero comics. And via Heidi, I just found out Satrapi has a blog! And via Pam Noles, I found out Kyle Baker is blogging as well.
• Marie Javins has posted some foliage-from-the-Montrealer photos.
• I really want to go to the Jewish Museum's panel on Women Comic Artists that Nancy mentions on Pam's House Blend, as she and her spousal unit (and my husband's current editor) Joan will be there, as well as my "sparring partner" Trina Robbins, whom I just want to hug and hug whilst we remember Hilda Terry together. It's on a Thursday in November, though, which means either taking my car into the Upper East Side of Manhattan or taking public transit and getting back home (probably freezing) way later than I should with work the next day. Sometimes it sucks to live in an outer borough and no longer work in The City...
Speaking of which, back to the grind!
