UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Obligatory William Gibson reference for the excellent novel “Spook Country”. I’ve read it fourteen times and still find something new each time – the man does not waste a word. No, not crazy at all.

    Hurray, people in the comments can have names again (if they choose to)!

  3. Evervigilant

    Yay for names! I love the pun as he takes the offered drink.

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    …Just for a moment, like a mirage … ” And when I turned the headlights on,
    Just for a minute I thought I saw the both of us
    On some kinda tropical island someplace
    Walkin’ down a white sandy beach eatin’ something…”

      Nice Stan Ridgeway reference

537 – Kooky And Spooky

How 'bout them spook stories now, Chuck?   Comments update: We seem to have fixed the issue of being able to add your name when leaving a comment. So you should be able to be anonymous or just leave a name when you comment.

Goodbye old friend…

So as you may have heard, Dawn got into a car accident recently. She’s okay, but when all was said and done there was still a sad casualty… Alas, our convention car–Ghostbuster decals and all–is no more. The damage inflicted was enough to bend part of the frame, and when that happens an old car like it was just doesn’t have the raw blue book value for the insurance company to not write it off as a total loss. Sentiment and coolness aren’t factored in. Dawn got the car in 2008, so it’s been with us since the beginning as far as our comics and exhibiting career goes. It was a rarity, a station wagon with ample cargo space in an era where that had mostly gone out of style. A car that was still running after nearly 22 years of operation and 200,000 miles on the odometer, most recently ferrying us back and forth to another fully loaded San Diego Comic Con. So if you don’t mind, raise a glass of whatever beverage is your preference in honor of a long and distinguished career of automotive service. Hopefully we can find a worthy successor to its memory.
