Amazing reconceptualization of the US dollar and other currencies. Maybe a little bit unfair - does the world really only see us launching missiles and burning crosses? But striking.
Best news story evs: “They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not […]
You know I love comic books. This is from Batgirl: Year One by Marcos Martin.
I have the exact same tummy as the dude getting kicked into the beverage case.
A workprint of the Halloween remake showed up on the net; there hasn’t been a movie prerelease like this since, what - Signs? Somebody’s getting fired tomorrow. UPDATE: Douglas of SkeetOM has a whole post about this, including the fact that the version in theaters has reshot portions (and a new ending) not in the […]
I am trying to find a copy of the Flying Hearts Arthur Russell recorded with Ernie Brooks (”hippie Ernie,” Modern Lovers fans). They were on Columbia, but the record went unreleased. There’s got to be a bootleg, or something.
I went to my second-favorite local convenience store today. This Armenian guy works there. More like lives […]
In the next little bit of time I’m going to be messing with the site CSS. So - deal with it? I’m leaning towards fewer images, more text, better color use, etc. (Translation: I’m going to rip off Signal Vs. Noise.) Superman’s going back to Earth-2. There’s really no reason for you to care about […]

Optic Nerve #10
This is why I went to the store in the first place. You cannot fuck with […]
1. I declare National Geoffrey Month to be at an end. On reflection, two weeks is just the right amount of time. So next year I’ll have National Geoffrey Weeks 1 and 2.
2. Another thing that’s ended are my comped subscriptions to Maxim and Stuff, which is fine with me. They could share a single […]
But as for my favorite comic strip by a living foreign national: you may or may not be familiar with Jason, the brilliant cartoonist of Vent litt…, aka Hey, wait, but he’s from Norway and pours the sweet with one hand and the bitter with the other. In 2002 he had a comic strip called […]
