Sans comics, alas!

[avram]

Grr, no comics today! Sure, the new comics were out, but there was nothing I wanted to buy. I even spent about twenty minutes looking through the trade paperback shelves for something interesting that I hadn’t already read. No dice. So it’s Wednesday and I’ve no new comics to read and thus the world is fundamentally out of whack.

It wasn’t a totally wasted day, though. I stopped in at the Java & Jazz (closing this Sunday, sadly) for a big cuppa joe, and really liked the artwork they had up this week. The guy’s name is Craig Anthony Miller, and his work looks like stained-glass graffiti, and it filled my head with ways of reconciling my cartooning impulses with my desire to paint.

And someone new showed up at NYSFS — Carol, an old NYUSFS friend I hadn’t seen in years. She took a while to recognize me without all my hair.

Damn, I've been out of the loop with the jury duty I was on until yesterday. And one of my two favorite tea rooms, Toraya, is closing at the end of the month. Not a good month for places to sit and write/draw.

You should have bought the 99 cent Golden Age DC sampler. You would have gotten three pretty good stories, and one rotten Wonder Woman tale.

Surprisingly, I was about to make the same recommendation. Yes, Avram, you should pick up the Golden Age sampler. The Plastic Man story, in particular, is completely bat-f****** insane, but in a good way...
