Is Ziggy considering wearing a pair of pants under his long-sleeved mini-dress?: Stephan Pastis, the cartoonist responsible for Pearls Before Swine, points out a recent Ziggy cartoon and gets all hopeful that the bald, miserable little homunculus might be moving toward a wardrobe change. Meanwhile, Comics Curmudgeon Josh Fruhlinger offers commentary on two pants-related Ziggy cartoons here and here.

How much you want to bet that Chris Sims actually has business cards in his wallet that say he’s a Batmanologist?: Invincible Super-Blogger and Comics Alliance contributor Chris Sims has some excellent suggestions of what eras Batman should visit while working his way through the past in Grant Morrison’s recently announced Return of Bruce Wayne miniseries.
