Friday Runaround – Bobble Headed Fascists R Us

Friday Runaround – Bobble Headed Fascists R UsDeanWatch: It's always good when a Minnesota politician apologises for calling a comics author a pencil necked weasel and a thief because his mummy tells him to.

FascistWatch: Ah, it's that genocidal monster sweet? Next up, Pol Pot. Although note the lack of swastika imagery on the bobble headed Red Skull. Because that would just be tasteless.

NewsWatch: Apparently it's news that two people read comics.

NewsWatch2: Now the BBC thinks that DC haven't actally published Action Comics #900 yet and that the offending story could stil be changed. What is it with news organisations right now…

JewishWatch: When Rabbis and their sons read comics.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

Dunbier Talks Simonson THOR Artist's Edition & More

Dunbier: And the original artwork is scattered to collectors around the four corners of the world. We're going to be announcing at San Diego, possibly earlier, some other Artist's Editions we're doing. Besides the Marvel ones, there're some other books, and some older material as well. Anything before 1966 was done twice-up, as opposed to one-and-a-half times up, which means the original art was about 12 by 18 inches, so any Artist's Edition from that era would be a 15-by-22 inch book—how about that for insane?

I've got another graphic novel coming out later this year from Kickstart Entertainment called SPACE GLADIATOR and I'm co-creating a third with John Romita Jr. – a legend I still can't believe I'm working with. The Romita project is a bit top-secret for now, so, unfortunately, I can't really say much more.

Can you be a hot girl AND a nerd? | The Beat

I'm not sure what "G4″ originally stood for, but now it means "Girls 4 nerds" as the channel seems to have become a place for male geeks to see geeky things spoken of by hot chicks who have varying levels of actual nerd cred. For instance, Blair Butler is both lovely and knowledgable about many things nerd-like, and has impeccable geek cred. On the other hand, Olivia Munn looks great in a Wonder Woman costume.
