the show and the

story that spans 300 issues, begun in 1977 and ending in 2004.

Sim has been writing, drawing characters, and independently
producing it the entire time, and has served as inspiration to the likes
of Neil Gaiman. Put down that
copy of Wolverine and pick up a real comic book.

| It's difficult in a good part of the country to get affordable high speed
networking in the home.
All this competition was
supposed to help, but it looks like the only way to get DSL
if you live outside a large city is for
FCC Chairman Kennard to come install it.
He's probably somewhat busy.
(I had a good deal with a local ISP where I
hosted a dialup pool, but then they pulled out, leaving only
a dark fiber in my house. )

| Saturday Apr 22, 2000 | I still can't find much about the origin of the phrase different strokes for different folks (and I've been looking). What I have found, though, is the amazingly interesting alt.usage.english FAQ, the tangentially-related alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb FAQ, and logophilia.com, which is also a mirror for the ever-popular Jargon File.

| Dashiell Hammett
is for all intents and purposes the inventor
of the modern hard-boiled detective story. His
prose is sparse, hard, and perfectly terse. Although he was most
well known for The Maltese Falcon, he thought
his best novel was his study of the rough and tumble
world of Baltimore politics, The Glass Key. It
was an epiphany when I discovered that the best
gangster flick ever made, Miller's Crossing, is in
fact "unofficially" based on The Glass Key.
There was also a great 1942 movie version of The Glass Key,
starring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake. Note: Maltin
was wrong. Yojimbo was inspired by a different Hammett novel,
Red Harvest.
