As another American holiday arrives, I'm reminded that most Americans don't know what Labor Day celebrates. I looked it up for you. Here. Surprisingly, unlike Memorial Day and July 4th, it actually is for you to celebrate not having to work for a day!
Speaking of labor, pushing the needs of the working class, Big O, delivered a history making acceptance speech last night. If you're like me and fell asleep 5 minutes before he came on (when they kept playing "Born in The USA" ad nauseum) then...here.
Speaking of nauseum, The Get Away Van has a hilarious, brief and disgusting take on China's cat --- bird --- thing. As always, That Urban Punk has an ability to make you think twice about what you consume.
Speaking of "urban legends," GMA had a segment on bedbugs at college dorms this morning. To which I say, "Wait! Bedbugs are real?!" Gah!
The Washington Post made my weekend with this 4 page article about the thriving Graphic Novel industry. It couldn't come at a better time seeing how my mind is solely concerned with my own comic's survivial. Here's the post article. Here's the book I'm working on with David Dean and Jay Payne.
Finally, speaking of the comic industry, a friend of mine pointed out this article in Wired magazine about the Manga/Anime industry (which contributes heavily to the thriving Graphic Novel biz).
On that note. I'm gone for a weekend of Aliens, wrestling comic books, soccer tailgates, father-son bonding and (somehow) sleep!
