Comic Book Resources has a preview of True Story, Swear To God #15. The second page made me laugh very hard, especially since I knew he was pronouncing it wrong, I just didn't know what his mispronouncement meant. Oops. -by Tegan at 4:07 PM Seattle time - Permalink
Great news! Michael "there are people at the convention center?" Brown has been removed from duties relating to hurricane Katrina, and an experienced Coast Guard Vice Admiral has been put in charge instead! -by Tegan at 12:37 PM Seattle time - Permalink
So I went to pick up my new comics yesterday, and spotted the new DC Icon Heroclix. Ug. I couldn't resist. I started to pick up some boxes when one of the store regulars pointed to a box I was ignoring and said, "Aquaman is in that box." I looked at him, looked at the box, and picked it up. He added, "but only if you open it in here!" -by Tegan at 9:30 AM Seattle time - Permalink
Yah! I finished last week's comics almost in time for this week's comics! -by Tegan at 8:46 PM Seattle time - Permalink

What to do when gas prices get too high, a photoshop contest. Elayne has a list of heroes of New Orleans. -by Tegan at 10:39 AM Seattle time - Permalink
Since it looks like I'm not going to be able to put together another post for today, here's to Elayne Riggs, my blogmother! Three years of Blogging! It's all Elayne's fault I started this blog. That means it's about two months until my blog's third anniversary. Wowsa... -by Tegan at 8:39 PM Seattle time - Permalink
My, I've been doing an AWFUL lot of linkblogging lately. I need to find something of my own to talk about again. Neil Gaiman is preparing some demonic salsa from his satanic tomato, which he'll auction off for charity. This has some minor interest to me and hubby-Eric, as it's about identity cards in Britain... but it's Wizard of Oz-related. -by Tegan at 10:31 AM Seattle time - Permalink
Ok. Calm. Serene. Mellow. Yes, folks. That's the Mad Bun, from Amy Unbounded, making a return to comics. Ok, well... a debut in webcomics. I'm really looking forward to this. All three reviews were interesting reads, all three made me want to go read/watch the reviewed item. All three described the item without any massive spoilers. Great reviews. -by Tegan at 10:22 PM Seattle time - Permalink
I promise that my next two posts will have NOTHING to do with Katrina, and hopefully a lot to do with comic books. I'm still furious about this disaster and the murderers in our government who made it so much worse. But I'll follow John Ford's advice and pull away from it for a couple of days... and not speak about it at all in my next two posts. In what may go down as the worst misuse of resources ever, firefighters are told to distribute FEMA fliers instead of fight fires in NOLA. D'oh! What idiot is in charge of FEMA down there?!!!??? Firefighters are needed in the city NOW, not propagandists. Sheesh. TalkLeft on FEMA. And lastly, it took several days for Bush to react to the disaster in New Orleans, but Rehnquist's body is barely cold before he nominates a replacement. It shows where Bush's priorities lie. -by Tegan at 12:25 PM Seattle time - Permalink
Jeff Parker is selling off artwork to help victims of Katrina. More info here. -by Tegan at 10:45 AM Seattle time - Permalink
Dateline: Hollywood gets it absolutely right in a nice little parody piece: Cable News Networks Interrupt Talking Heads To Cover News. All it would have taken was a phone call from Bush: From a British reporter: When the developing world is judged to have done better than the United States in dealing with a humanitarian crisis you know something's gone seriously wrong. Another Mark Evanier rant links to an editorial about the incompetence of FEMA. And there's more here. Again, was FEMA actually trying to help, or were they determined to kill the hurricane survivors? And, absolute last thought tonight: if it's not the time for finger-pointing, even by people like me who are utterly useless, then why is Rove already finger-pointing? -by Tegan at 10:46 PM Seattle time - Permalink
Eric and I have done a nice little review of OZF5: Gale Force over on the Oz Blog. If you are interested, you can pop over there and read. Enjoy. -by Tegan at 4:39 PM Seattle time - Permalink
Viking horde of jewelry found by three boys playing in yard. I'm afraid this whole section is going to be pretty political, because I can't divide the disaster from the people in leadership positions who made it so much worse by not doing their jobs. Much much more here, here, here, here, and one post that explains what happened after Broussard was cut off. -by Tegan at 8:57 PM Seattle time - Permalink
Nothing else but your time and your internet connection is needed for this one: Help Process People Finder Information. -by Tegan at 12:43 PM Seattle time - Permalink
