Last week I posted about how we got the ending of the parody of “X2: X-Men United” wrong thanks to working from a script in advance of the film’s release.

Some of these booths are HUGE and have literally a hundred different prints for sale. It’s too easy to print these things off on your home computer. What I’ve really noticed is a large… READ MORE

Me, Mike Cope and Sandra Bell-Lundy at Toronto ComiCon Just returned from Toronto after spending a long weekend manning the National Cartoonists Society’s first-time booth there with freelance cartoonist Mike Cope and the creator of the syndicated daily comic strip “Between Friends” Sandra Bell-Lundy. Despite living within 400 miles of the border, I’ve never actually been to Canada until now. I learned the following twenty things while there: Canadians really do say “eh!” at the end of certain sentences. Canadians will deny this, shortly before saying “eh!” They have a lot of really good beer The dollar coin is called a “loonie” The two dollar… READ MORE
