humor

An interview with Larry Marder, creator of Beanworld and former CEO of Image Comics, talks about a most peculiar comic book experience, 25 years of anthropomorphic beans and making comics vs. running a comics company.

I've been a fan of Beanworld since I first discovered it as a kid, and you will not find a stranger, more giddily wonderful comic.

Is it true that Harlan Ellison monitors Google Alerts to see if anyone is bad mouthing him so he can jump up and down on whoever it is? That he has no sense of humor about himself? Harlan Ellison, the guy who likes to grope women at cons, sit on other people's short stories for decades so they can't publish them, and freaks out and sues anyone who looks at him wrong?

You know, for a guy who's been around for a while, Ellison sure has thin skin.

Also, he's a douchebag.

You hear me, Harl? I'm talkin about you!

Happy May Day everyone! There's a holiday we don't celebrate enough in the US.

Possibly not conincidentally, today is also Buy Indie Day, so everybody find an independent bookstore and give them your moneys in exchange for, sweet, delicious books!
