Media Release -- November is an exciting month for Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman's newest creation, Haunt. The release of Haunt #2 prompted yet another issue sell-out at the distribution level, despite a considerable overprint, and Haunt #1 second printing followed suit, blowing out of Diamond's warehouse doors before the palettes hit the floor.

Crumb, both as an artist and as a musician (I love the Cheap Suit Serenaders), I've been really anxious to pick up a copy of his recently published take on the book of Genesis. I got it last night, and I'm really enjoying it. This morning,...

(Watch video: YouTube, Dotsub, or download MP4.) A quick little goodie from Boing Boing Video. Last night, I sat in on a live recording session at Santa Monica's Village Studios with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, described as "African-American string band revivalists."

Lunch and dinner are also simple, a salad, some kind of protein and vegetables. “Sometimes a baked potato. I’m a big fan of baked potatoes,” she added. Don’t think dessert is not on her menu.
