Of the blind squirrel and the acorn

April 6th, 2008
Author Tom Bondurant

Every Friday, Tom Spurgeon casts his nets across the Interweb for a reader-participation feature he calls “Five For Friday.” It regularly draws a Who’s Who of the comics blogosphere, each contributing lists of five items on topics general and specific.

Thus, I was surprised, flattered, and honored that Tom chose one of my smart-aleck suggestions from December 7 (”Name Five Future Five For Fridays”) for this week’s theme (”Name Five Character Progressions That Didn’t Really Last That You Liked Anyway”).

Today’s results post also includes lists from fellow Blog@’ers Michael May and Tim O’Shea. Fewer entries this week, but we all seem to like the same things….

Thanks, Tom!
