dab at the corner of your mouth with class

William Shakespeare conquers the difficult medium of cocktail napkins with jazzy cartooning from the 50s. It's a can't-miss scenario!



It's all at today's STUPID COMICS. Well, yesterday's STUPID COMICS. And it's not that stupid. In fact I kinda like these, the artwork is what Ivan Brunetti dreams of drawing like and the quotes are funny. And yeah, I know that somebody else put these up on his blog last month, but I didn't find that out until I was mostly finished with this installment and damned if I'm going to put all that work to waste.

Today we're driving down to Niagara Falls to meet the folks, who have driven up from GA, and then we're going to do a bunch of touristy stuff, and then we're going to come back here to TO and do some touristy stuff (Casa Loma, here we come) and I don't have to go back to work until next Thursday. Summer is coming in fits and starts this year.

SF-Anime Flea Market

I see my Facebook comment for "International Otaku Day" - in which I said I intend to celebrate by emerging from my basement and knifing a few people in Akihabara - didn't make it past the editorial approval stage. Their loss!

In the meantime you owe it to yourself to come to Toronto for the SF/ANIME FLEA MARKET on September 10 at the Toronto Reference Library at Yonge & Bloor! It's where they hold TCAF. I will be there with a table full of comics, anime VHS & DVD, books, and other cool stuff for you to purchase. You can find out more at the Friends Of The Merril Collection (that's Judith Merril, philistines) website: http://www.thefriendsofthemerril.org/events.html or at their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=209458905768837 . It's during TIFF and it's near Yorkville so there's a good chance you'll see movie stars shopping and driving expensive cars, and if that's not enough to get you out on a Saturday then I don't know what will!
