Your design work is, no joke, some of the best parts of the project. The glue that holds such a massive and disparate undertaking together

If polytheists want to be polite when referring to their pantheon, do they say "How great Thous art"?

These are the comics that were popular in America before superheroes took over, especially, as you can see, with young women.

Fascinating Katy Keene short from Archie Comic's WILBUR COMICS # 13. Katy is guesting in 4 different comics at this point and here she gets a fun, meta story about her fans designing outfits for her.

Comics are so hot right now. There are some new series coming out that have been selling like hotcakes. But also, there is what seems like a popular new magazine about comics, called Comics! The Magazine. I've got that and more in my New Comic Buyer Guide.

Help! My wife can't stop watching the music video for Wuthering Heights, perfectly mimicking Kate Bush's ethereal dancing!

I'm sorry babe, but do you have a catchy number that you say between 4 and 10 times every 3 minutes?

Love Rothko. If things ever get to the point where you could and would want to come to Houston, the Rothko Chapel is a must. Absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring.

1. I never said Bible
2. From what grounds do you believe, as I do, that spousal abuse, slavery, and forcing children to submit to parental authority are wrong? Is it just your intuition?

Now you tell me if you think domestic violence is always evil, thus ensnaring you into your own question of ultimate moral determination, or if domestic violence is sometimes permissible, a position I presume you find as abhorrent as I do

I will always take recommendations! Now, actually following through with reading them, I cannot in good conscience promise to do that given my track record

You won't say that you think partner abuse is always bad?

Thank you Steve! Is my assumption that you just kind of have to jump in (like with Marvel or DC) correct? I find myself overwhelmed by the size of it all. I can manage the Dredd stories but I don't want to skip out on everything else!

Do you think spousal abuse is always bad, or is that also relative? Because I will take a bold and strong stance and say it is always bad.

What is it like reading the Galaxy's Greatest Comic (2000 AD, natch) by jumping in to a random prog (that's what they call issues in the far future) without any context? An interesting video, that's what it is like!
