Hey

What's up everybody that doesn't visit my blog. I know what you're not thinking -- a new message? And just a week after the last one? If I were a better blogger I'd be here posting that often, if not more. Then again, I can't even get close friends and family to stop by, so it's just as well I put my efforts into more substantial pursuits. Like this one game, where you have to get rid of these things without letting the kid on top fall into the water. It's real neat. That one of the other benefits of having a blog whose sole source of traffic comes from people who stumble on it by mistake; I can say things like "It's real neat" and not worry about coming off like a five-year-old.

Here's a link to the game: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/371834

Hey folks.

Mike Wieringo, artist on Spider-Man, The Flash, the Fantastic Four and many other books, died yesterday of a heart attack. He was only 44 years old. He was one of my favorite artists when I started reading Spider-Man back in the 90s, and did some really nice stuff in the Fantastic Four book a few years back. Most recently he did a ten issue run on Spider-Man, and just finished a Spider-Man/FF mini-series. I've always kind of wondered what it'd be like if folks whose work I admired died and what my reaction would be like since I'd assumed that would still be some years away. Turns out it's kind of like a punch to the gut.
