| Tuesday Aug 22, 2006 | Earlier this summer, London, England was overrun with Street Wars "Assassins" bent on squirting one another with water pistols for something like personal glory. London police were not amused. to Games by pyrrhuloxia |
| Saturday Jul 29, 2006 | Some of the funniest schwag I got second-hand from the famed San Diego Comic Con was Shana Manion's super-sarcastic "Ask Miss Anthropy" (available from Sugar Free Comics on its own, and anthologized here), which was created as part of 24 Hour Comics, an experimental project created and edited by the one and onlyScott McCloud. to Comics by pyrrhuloxia |

| Wednesday Jan 4, 2006 | A friend of mine was impressed when I was recently praised from my memepoolery by a complete stranger. I immediately thought, “Man, don’t you even know how popular I am on the internet?” to Flash by pyrrhuloxia |
| Saturday Dec 24, 2005 | This may be a formidable Gathering of the greats, but it simply pales in comparison to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. to Humor by pyrrhuloxia |

| Wednesday Aug 10, 2005 | Some of us have something to say about Intelligent Design being taught alongside evolution in science classes, as it is not testable, refutable, reproduceable, and is fundamentally not science. That something is, of course: "May you forever be touched by His Noodly Appendage." to Culture by pyrrhuloxia |
| Friday Mar 25, 2005 | Although I am not a vegetarian, I do not eat cephalopods (that is, squids, octopuses, cuttlefish and the like) because there is substantial evidence that they are quite intelligent, and have highly complex languages. Perhaps my efforts to protect intelligent species have allowed them to evolve further than they might have otherwise. Let me be the first to welcome our new bipedal overlords. to Science by pyrrhuloxia |

| Sunday Jun 1, 2003 | Fantagraphics books, publisher of the best and most challenging work in the comics field, is in dire financial straits. If you want to do yourself and humanity a service, check out their web site and consider picking up a title or two. These guys publish the work of such luminaries as Dan Clowes, Robert Crumb, Bill Griffith, Los Bros Hernandez, Tony Millionaire and Chris Ware, all heroes of mine. In particular, Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library and Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid On Earth represent just about the highest pinnacle of the art form that I know of. His stuff is gorgeous (though sometimes depressing in large doses) and even if Fantagraphics wasn't in such a crisis, I'd recommend everyone out there pick up a copy. to Comics by pyrrhuloxia |
