Originally published February 26, 1993, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1006
An abbreviated column is required this week, since I am working full-steam on a novel with an iron-clad deadline of February 15th.
The Beauty and the Beast song-lyric spoof seems to have gone over quite well–certainly better than top-10 lists.
So I've decided to run another song [...:]

Back From Uruguay

Just got back into town from my time at Montevideo Comics, a two day celebration of the comic arts in Montevideo, Uruguay.  In addition to my time at the convention, I also lectured on storytelling and did Q&A at several classes on comics and animation.
I want to extend my thanks to the organizers who brought [...:]

X-FACTOR #208

So here's the deal:

Or at least come back tomorrow (May 16th) about Noon for some really cool news.

The only major element of the 7th season of "West Wing" that hasn't played out in the real world is a nuclear power plant in the U.S. melting down.
Should we be concerned?

Second Random Thought for the Day

This is Food Allergy Awareness Week.
Until just now, I was unaware of that.
Perhaps last week should have been Food Allergy Awareness Week Awareness Week, in order to promote awareness of Food Allergy Awareness Week.

Will the Real Superman…?

Originally published February 12, 1993, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1004
Well, the word is out about the return of Superman. An assortment of press releases and coming-issue blurbs has crossed my desk, confirming the rumors that have been floating around for weeks.

"Four beings simultaneously appear," proclaims the general media announcement, "each claiming to be the [...:]

Happy Mothers Day to All

Kath, Caroline and I just came back from visiting with my folks and my sister. We basically had as many David moms in one place as we could manage.
Hope everyone else did as much for their moms as they could today.

Random Thought for the Day

British actress Alex Kingston: On "Doctor Who," she played "River Song." On "FlashForward," she played "Fiona Banks." On "Law and Order: SVU" she played "Miranda Pond."
What IS it with this woman and bodies of water?
