–Jeff Smith talks about how surprisingly easy it was to make a deal with Warner Bros. for the rights to a Bone movie.
–Johanna discusses the differences between retailer and customer needs. Interesting discussion follows.

–Bully shares photos of the 1969 Marvel bullpen. And he does it without making the obvious joke about the word “bullpen.”

–Johanna also reviews The Blackblood Alliance, a webcomic about prehistoric wolves. I probably liked the story a little more than she did and agree that the art is the highlight, and she makes a good point about the names being too “Elfquestian.” The writer would have benefited from following the KISS rule when naming the characters instead of coming up with names like “Swiftkill” and “Bloodspill” … which, come to think of it, sound like something from a 1990s Image title as much as they do Elfquest. Still, it’s worth looking at online for free.

I already said this in Bully’s comments section, but lest you don’t follow the link, I implore you go check out the 1969 Bullpen photos. Except for the fact John Severin has no eye patch, the man looked like Nick Fury in 1969. Well, Nick never smiles, but other than that wow.
