The Comic Book Challenge…
Blaahg: May 14th, 2008…is advertising HERE! Check that stuff out, man! I was pretty excited to see that D.J. Coffman’s Hero by Night bid on advertising here, but now the contest that turned D.J. from a comics curmudgeon into a giddy comics superstar has also chosen to use my humble site to promote itself. Very cool. So check them out [...]

I just upgraded to the latest WordPress and ComicPress and am in the middle of tweaking things, so [...]
Harvey will kick your entire ass.
Blaahg: May 21st, 2008So, I’m going to take a second to plug this band, Harvey, on account of their ability to kick all kinds of ass.
