A few weeks ago Raju Mudhar of the Toronto Star rang me up to ask me if it was all over for the comic book movie. Now, I’ve had reporters calling me up with this question ever since my Comics2Film website caught fire in 1998. Trend-spotting in Hollywood is an […]
Click for this year’s holiday card
Some time last year I ventured over to a restaurant called Crazy Sushi for the first time. It’s walking distance from my house and I love the makizushi. As I watched Lee prepare my first order, I immediately recognized the guy was a kung fu master with a black belt […]
These comic book movies are going to take off some day.
I saw this kid do 45 minutes of stand up for an audience of five in a hotel room at Comic-Con last year. He’s out of his mind. The GENIUS kind of out of his mind.
…The ugly skins shall return!
My good friends Steve and Dorothy Gerding have given birth to Sienna Elizabeth Chin Gerding! Congratulations!
Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and happy holiday!
Darryl Kravitz Taylor has launched his Think Behind the Ink website, promoting his new DVD series. Darryl’s an amazingly inventive guy who has worked in comics for years and co-created the character “Chassis”. I’ve been after him for years to distill his creative process down into a book. Now it’s […]
My brother found what may be the most sincere pre-printed Valentine’s Day greetings of all time. He bought a bunch off of some clearance table and gave some to me. Nothing says “I love you” like a searing, engulfing blast of radioactive flame from a giant dragonsaur…
Here’s hoping all your wishes come true…for the holidays and beyond
Looks like we have some new CRITTERS in the neighborhood. Scratchy spotted this one a few weeks ago. It showed up again tonight, long enough to get its picture taken. Not a very good picture, but it was a little freaked out so I didn’t want to try to get […]
The mother ship will be parking over DC today. The ocean’s salinization levels are out of whack. The earth’s core has stopped spinning. Scientists have accidentally opened a gateway to Hell. Take your pick. Something’s going down today. I’m not sure what. Proof? The cats are both acting like the […]
Super HUGE congratulations to Derek “Darth” and Allie “Amidala” McCaw on the birth of thier new son Luke. Leia to follow…
Fed Ex guys have the uncanny mutant ability to only attempt delivery of “signature required” packages when I’m not here. The standing signature release form that I filled out last year does nothing to interfere with their super powers.
The view from my office window:
Apparently I’m going to be a guest on some kind of online radio talk show today. The folks at New Black City have invited me on to talk comics. I’ll be a guest on a show called “The Afternoon Blackout With Uncle Rudy” which runs for 12:00 to 3:00 CST. […]
Admittedly the spider pictures were kind of creepy so here is some counter-programming. Folks will recall, a little over a month ago, a big chunk of the east coast lost power. That left many of us here at my condo complex to sit around on our front porches and talk. […]
What is it with spiders, anyhow? Why do they have to look so creepy? I mean, they’ve got eight legs and, what, like six eyes. Who uses six eyes? They need three, max. Six just looks weird. It seems to me that there are many more spiders around this summer […]
