Why is it that “Barry Ween, Boy Genius” is not a series on “Adult Swim?” How is it remotely possible that no one at Cartoon Network has read Judd Winick’s masterwork about a foul mouthed kid genius and realized it would be the perfect complement to “The Venture Brothers” and “The Boondocks?” Get with the programming, Adult Swim.

They should get sponsors for the State of the Union to help pay down the deficit.

Sean Chen and I will be signing at Jim Hanley’s Universe today at 4 West 33rd Street (just after 5th Avenue) from 5 to 7 pm.

Not only is she the first pro bowler to be featured in a Marvel Comic book, but she can add to her resume being the first woman to win a PBA title, having won the Tournament of Champions yesterday in Vegas. The result is a big honkin’ trophy, a two year exemption on the PBA tour meaning she’s back on the tour next year, and a $40,000 payday.

Seriously, this happened in Vegas, but it’s not staying there. It’s a new world and she’s the first citizen in it. So for those of you whose first exposure to her was in the pages of “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” see what can happen? (Actually, now that I think about it, Stephen Colbert showed up in FNSM before he turned up in any other Marvel Comic. I sure can pick ’em.)
