Thanks, WordPress, for pimping #295 – Cheesy Eclipse on the front page for the time being!

Thanks, unknown reader, for pimping the comic over at Yahoo! Buzz for the time being!

Thanks, world, for making me simultaneously stub my toe and spill hot coffee on my hand! You suck for the time being!

It was pretty neat though, seeing the moon all reddish. I had a good view for it, too, but was the only one outside looking up at the eclipse. Maybe everybody else was afraid they’d turn into vampiric werewolves or something. Maybe…

Hmmm, here’s some comicky (not a word) things that I’ve been reading up on lately:

• Garfield Minus Garfield proves that the real star of the comic strip is Mr. Jon Arbuckle, a self-relenting gob that borders on the edge of becoming a serial killer
• Jess Fink’s shirt design, involving a lovable bar of soap, is being ripped off by mall-mega boutique Hot Topic; she’s recently gotten a lawyer and I hope she’s able to take them down a notch, and by that I mean raze them to the ground
• Scans from My Book to Help America, which was published a few months after Pearl Harbor; I particularly like the message being sent that if one doesn’t exercise in the fresh air they’ll become “loose, lazy lumps”
• Mike Lynch presents some cartoons from 1950s men’s magazines
• James Kochalka’s son does a Bone drawing

There. That should keep you busy for two minutes.
