Today is free comic book day, so if you're going to participate, please BUY SOMETHING. Those comic books aren't free for the retailer - the retailer has to buy them. No, the vast corporations that own Marvel and DC Comics can't be bothered to kick in, and the monopoly that controls comic book distribution believes that advertising and promotion costs should be shouldered by your friendly neighborhood comic book retailer. So when you're in there for your free comic, spend some money.

Speaking of comic books this week's Stupid Comics is one of those Al Hartley Christian comics that's all about the American revolution and how we won our freedom because God blessed it so, or something. Features special guest appearances by Hitler, Stalin, the Ayatollah Khomeini, and the TRS-80 microcomputer.

Zero Fighter, Behind The Blue Door, and Georgie Girls are FREE COMICS, every week, all year long!

Because I'm a bigmouth on Twitter, I got interviewed by Zac Bertschy over on Anime News Network for the ANNCast podcast. We talk about anime fandom in the 80s, tape swapping, the early days of anime cons, and take questions from the teeming millions.

And I would be remiss in mentioning AWA's latest guest announcement, which is the seminal Japanese garage-rock act SHONEN KNIFE. Yeah, you heard me.
