Childhood is cannibals and psychotics vomiting in your mouth. Yes.
RIP the wonderful Maurice Sendak
We’ll miss you.
Jean Giraud, aka Moebius, passed away this morning.
Thank you for your art and fare thee well wherever you go.
Godspeed, sir - and thank you.

I figured I’d give them a shout-out for what they did for me last week. I had some painful lady issues and because I don’t have insurance, they were the only ones who would see me. Everything’s ok, but they were so awesome and…
There were lots of stories that came out of SDCC this year, but the one that has caught the attention of the comics community was a woman who dressed up as Batgirl to ask questions about female characters and creators at several DC Comics’ panels. I first became aware of her questions while following the live feeds of Newsarama and CBR. If you read this blog you know I have many of the same concerns she has. After seeing the reaction of some attendees and reporters about how her questions and those of others regarding female characters and creators were being handled, I compiled a post of that coverage.
That post has now become the most viewed ever for this blog. Her appearances at the panels has also generated other blog posts and many comments. She’s been called everything from a hero to a bully. But now for the first time we can hear from her.
Yesterday I caught up with Kyrax2, the “Batgirl woman” as she has become known, to find out more about what drove her to ask these questions and her thoughts on the reactions she received.
An absolutely great interview - I wish the powers that be at DC would read it.
We are on the far side of the San Diego ComiCon. This is a con where DC’s creators have had their most direct exposure to their current fanbase’s reactions to the New 52. In particular, they’ve heard loud and clear that the ongoing lack of gender parity both in the comics and behind the scenes…

The man himself.
Saw this in an English classroom where I did a work placement, and really liked it, so I thought I’d share. :)
Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now…

WHEEEEEEEE!
Second day of Geddon, in my civvies - but still causing trouble! XD
Okay, been meaning to do this for a while, but had to get to a spot where we had a little time to weigh the options.
I’m assuming most of the people reading this particular tumblr know who Oracle is, but just in case, she’s the DCU’s primary infojock. She is the daughter of Commissioner James…
Here’s a link to the chair my wife recommends -

She’s probably going to be using a chair within the next few years, so she’s done some research, and this is the one she thinks would be the best.
The Saber is a little flashier than you might have had in mind, but just about any chair that’s not the standard-issue-silver-and-black-hospital-chair will stand out, to some extent.
Anyway, hope this helps.
