webcomics week
The hovering spirit of Richard F. Outcault presents: Webcomics Week.
Storylines, pah. A gag a day, every day was good enough for "Hogan's Alley", and "Peanuts" and... [waves a hand vaguely] "The Lockhorns". After all that continuity, sometimes you just want a strip you can dive into at any point and read in any order, before going back to your busy schedule as a CW programming executive.

I've arranged to take off March 8th - 12th to attend South by Southwest Film (on purpose this time). The official Music portion of the SXSW program starts Wednesday the 14th, so I'll again be missing that, which is again probably just as well - I'd be terrified of being detected as a horrible fraudy nerd poseur mid-concert and roughed up by We Are Scientists*. Last year was hella fun, except that I overslept and on

around the web
Haven't done an "around the web" post for a bit - for historians, here's The 1911 Encyclopedia, a wiki based on the now public-domain 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Check out, for instance, the "American Literature" category (Fenimore Cooper, Hawthorne, the 'discernibly serious beneath his fun-making' Mark Twain, and... some other people. We know

fact
Turned up the invaluable Oxford Book of Humorous Prose while cleaning today. It's a comprehensive survey of English-language comedy, starting with our buddy William Caxton - businessman, printer, and tamer of wacky, spell-it-however-the-hell-you-want Chaucerian English. He set up the first printing press in England, printed the first English-langua

Bill Hicks
Underground comedy legend and World's Angriest White Man Except For People Who Actually Have A Reason To Be. Spewed vitriol-laced profanity at sacred cows, Christianity, airline food. Once driven to teary, incoherent rage by frat guy yelling "Freebird!".
Status: Still beloved by misanthropic hipsters, still dead. Influence lives on whenever a 14-year-old male logs onto a message

Something told the wild geese, it was time to go
Unheard by any human ear, something whispered "snow"
Perhaps it was some hidden sign, or some ethereal sound
Perhaps it was the drifts of snow that lay upon the ground
Once summer sun shone golden, and the leaves had yet to fall,
Then, middish-January, their flock heard the ancient call
Nature keeps her mysteries no mortal man has guess

tv and such
While iced in, I've been catching up on Veronica Mars, season 2 - including the sweeps leadoff episode "Rat Saw God". Nice enigmatic title, huh? It doesn't quite catch Farscape for the all-time "offbeat title" crown (as per above), but it's up there.
Some notes on that, and some other "offbeat title" favorites:

"It's basically a chilling cautionary tale of justice gone bad," he said as I passed the table. I only had time for a quick glance, but he had John Grisham's The Innocent Man in front of him and a pen in his hand. Which seemed odd. I don't know what level of familiarity you have with the... prolific Mr. Grisham - mine is pretty low - but you might have heard about his non-fiction investigation into a botche
