NBC has announced that it’s renewing the low-rated but high quality, critically acclaimed “Friday Night Lights.”

Interestingly, its numbers are around six million, which puts it right around the numbers “Drive” drew in its debut.

I asked everyone to wait a week before discussing SM3 with spoilers, and for the most part everyone has obliged. So if you guys want to chat about the film with spoilers–discussing specific plot point–here’s where to do it.

FNSM #20 and the Kelly Kulick appearance attracted the notice of www.bowl.com, one of the premiere bowling websites. Check it out. My only regret is that there’s no mention of Todd Nauck; it sounds as if I drew the book.

Gee, I wonder if journalista! will pick it up? A Gary Groth product featuring something about me that’s not negative? I’m thinking not.

I’m a free speech advocate and also I’m against undeterred gun ownership, so the item below really brings my two Constitutional priorities into conflict.

I’m definitely going to have to give priority to the First Amendment here: This is completely ludicrous. That a guy is fired simply for talking about acquiring a rifle, and that his depiction of it in a webcomic gets a police investigation, for crying out loud? Insanity.

Personally, I think it’d go down great with a side of Fantastic Fries. Maybe wash it down with a Silver Slurpee.
