Godwin’s Law – that any discussion on the Internet, if it goes on long enough, will eventually feature someone comparing a person or idea to Hitler and Nazism – is one of those things that you see happen all too often. Stupid Internet.

#823 – Comics Confessions
I honestly think that, if I never read Watchmen ever again, I wouldn’t feel any sort of tremendous loss. Yeah, I understand it’s an important work and all that. I get that it showed comics can tell Serious Stories, though we (comics readers) need to have a conversation as a community about how “serious” apparently has to for some reason include rape.
I mean, is there anyone out there who actually enjoys reading Watchmen? Someone who reads it for pleasure, and not because it’s part of some canon of Serious Graphic Novels?
#822 – The Webcomics Muse
Inspiration doesn’t always hit when you want it to. Thankfully, the Wife is there to pitch in.
#821 – On Party Times
I do feel quite old sometime. Parties that start after about 4:00 or 5:00 feel way too late.
I am possibly an old curmudgeon ahead of my time.
#820 – Let It Go
Look, I totally get that this is one of the few movies for children that depicts girls as being independent and capable and off doing their own thing and not needing a guy. That’s awesome. But it doesn’t hide the fact that the songs are mediocre at best and there’s only about ten minutes of actual plot to the thing.
Yeah, that’s right: I said “Let It Go” was mediocre. Come at me, Internet.
