It’s a better show than Idol in so many ways. The judges […]

Robert Asprin, 1946-2008

Posted by MGK Published in Auf Wiedersehen Goodbye

Oddly, the thing that strikes me most about the passing of Robert Asprin is that if you’re looking for a better example to disprove the fallacy that substance abuse can create better writing, you couldn’t find a better example than him: it’s no secret that alcoholism turned his promising career to shit for a good […]

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Every week, a character shall be judged on the only scale scientific enough that matters: the Rex The Wonder Dog scale of fantasticosity. Comics are weird in that every so often, a writer can knock […]

Super Rainbow Trackback Update

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Health Care, Politics

Suffice it to say he starts off with a reference to Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons – fresh and original! – then goes into a comparison between transsexuals and comic book fans […]
