LOL Scott Kurtz.

It’s been a while since I’ve literally laughed out loud at a webcomic, but this PVP strip did it. In related news, my Kenyon friends and I are debating the quality of the newly-announced PVP animated project they’re trying to get off the ground over at Shannon’s LJ – stop by and weigh in.

A Softer World.

Much coolness: thanks to Fleen, I just discovered the webphotocomic a softer world.

Meeting Scott McCloud.

I didn’t post about this before the event because I was nervous as hell, but last Thursday night I had the honor of being the first of three student respondents to none other than the world’s foremost comics theorist, Scott McCloud.

The Nerd Prom Report.

My friend and housemate Ivan just posted a collection of photos from the San Diego Comic Convention over at his Flickr account. My favorite is the one of Spidey and Black Cat checking out Spidey’s cell phone. Awesome.

Best webcomic of the year.

I can officially say that this Diesel Sweeties is my favorite webcomic of the year so far. That is all.

My precious!

Wow. I just did a bad, bad thing. The local comic shop where I spend most of my Wednesday afternoons was having a big inventory blowout sale, and I popped by, fully resigned to spend a little money. Not a lot of money, mind you, but a little bit. I prowled the aisles. I gathered […]
