Miss a week or two, miss a lot: Thank God the holidays are finally over, and the bloggers I like reading are all back to blogging things I like to read. Bloggers like Josh Fruhlinger, who just recently had a massive check-in with various continuity comic strips (i.e. the unfunny funnies) after taking the holidays off from posting.
“Erotic Alan Moore’s graphic, graphic sex history: from, to, of novels, art”: That’s unfortunately as dirty as I can make the headline of this Guardian article by rearranging the words. It’s about Moore’s essay 25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom.
“Shade and Kathy confront the JFK Sphinx in Dallas: an enormous, shattered stone head that eats anyone who can’t solve the conspiracy around his death”: Writing for Bookslut, Martyn Pedler pens an appreciation for Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo’s Shade, The Changing Man. That series is perhaps the most under-appreciated of the first generation of Vertigo books, maybe because it was just so weird that it managed to out-weird the rest, even the aggressively weird on purpose Doom Patrol book.
This just in!: Sam Henderson is still really funny.
For God’s sake DC, give Kate Beaton a treasure chest full of gold coins and beg her to do a Wonder Woman comic: See this picture? Beaton writes below it that, “I start sketching Wonder Woman absent mindedly these days.” She just draws her without even really thinking about it!
So how’s Marvel’s Dr. Strange/Dr. Voodoo thing doing?: The Internet’s number one Dr. Strange fan (I think; Wong’s not blogging, is he?) Neilalien talks a little about Marvel’s recent moves regarding their Sorceror Supreme, and finds he can’t really get too bent out of shape about any of them.

I still say I’d love to see Kate Beaton do a Wolverine comic, given that there’d be opportunity for him to meet all sorts of (Canadian!) historical figures. Have him team up with Louis Riel or something, it’d be great.
