Ken Krueger, one of the co-founders of the San Diego Comic Con, has passed away. Between losing him and Shel Dorf just a few weeks ago, the reading of the list of people in the industry who have passed away that’s typically read by Maggie Thompson at the Eisner awards is going to be particularly melancholy last year.
Ken, I knew far better than Shel because of his involvement in comic distribution back when I was Marvel’s direct sales manager.

Are you smarter than a Fifth Grader? Well, if the fifth grader in question is ten year old Will Phillips of Arkansas, and the “you” is me, then I’m not. Because he focused on an objection to the Pledge of Allegiance that I had not thought about and really should have. Even better, he did something about it.
You missed the first minute of my episode because Cartoon Network started it at 8:29.
If you are on the West Coast, there’s still time to adjust it.
