Month: November 2004

In a shocking historical moment, one of the two Thanksgiving turkeys pardoned by President George W. Bush has turned in his resignation, preferring to die rather than be pardoned by someone who refused to pardon human beings in Texas. The turkey, “Biscuits,” was promptly drafted and is being shipped to Iraq.

The other turkey, “Gravy,” pledged eternal fealty to Bush and is considered front runner to the first available seat on the Supreme Court.

We’ll be stuffing more into this story as it develops.

Sears and K-Mart are going to be merging. The only reasonable thing to call the combined entity? Has to be “S-Mart.”

Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.

I wonder if Bruce Campbell has gotten the call to be the new spokesman.

That Dave Lopez and Fernando Blanco, thinking that “Fallen Angel” wasn’t going past #18, picked up some work that, it turned out, they then had to swing into before they could get to the new issues of “Fallen Angel.” So several weeks ago it was decided that #19 would ship in March, not February…and no one mentioned it to me.

So out come the February solicits and guess who’s left going, “What the #*@%?!”

Oh well. I suppose the upside of this is two-fold. First off, you come out with a book on time, month in, month out, and fans take you for granted. Get delayed and suddenly everyone’s talking about you. And second, it gives us that much more time to get the word out about “Sachs and Violens” showing up for a two-issue guest stint. When I get some pages in of Dave and Fernando’s rendition, I’ll post them here.
