Wrestling, Ball & Chain and Decorum – The Daily LITG 8th May 2020

These are strange times, but The Daily LITG is becoming a valuable way to quantify just what comic book geek culture is up to in this time of trial. Including something, it seems, about wrestling that I have no intention of clicking because it's about wrestling. It's a Jude thing, right. Yesterday also saw a lot of news about comics being turned into TV shows and movies, you may want to read a little bit of Bleeding Cool clairvoyance from a few days ago. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.

Comic Book Industry birthdays, today

There may not be much of a party atmosphere right now. Or if there is, the police will come and shut you down. But comic folk are still getting older and still celebrating that special date.
