      The following 20 future trends for the comic industry (and fandom) is scheduled roughly for the next two years -- by 2012.

    • The Paradigm July 29, 2010
      I think I'd just address one more thing, while I'm getting stuff off my chest.I still love comics. But the old mainstream paradigm, for the most part, doesn't work for me anymore. It has been, to a degree, toxic to the women who tried (and continue to try) to love it. Not so much now, in this present generation -- but definitely in the last ge […]
    • Cool and Chilled Soup Links July 29, 2010
       Quick Chilled Cantaloupe Soup by Aimée Wimbush-Bourque -- Featured on Simple Bites Chilled soups in the summer are a delicious treat.

    • On the rats = geese = rats...issue July 29, 2010
      The other day, Liena from Ditmas Park Blog was nice enough to post my entry about geese returning to Prospect park - filling a vacuum, as it were. The comments have been educational, revealing, and sometimes horrific. There are a couple of people who equate geese with rats as far as being a pest. I object. Even though I did refer to the geese's nazi-lik […]

    • Two Artists / Two Thoughts July 28, 2010
      “If your mind is at work, we’re in danger of reproducing another cliche. If we can keep our minds out of it and our thoughts out of it, maybe we’ll come up with something original.” -Peter Falk “When I started making films, I wanted to make Frank Capra pictures. But I’ve never been able to [...] […]
