Things That Made Me Happy...

in my comics book world this week.

• The new "I Read Like a Girl" tee shirts for sale!
  
• Mary Wollstonecraft smacking J-J Rousseau in the crotch with a wooden paddle.
• The most recent Big Monkey Podcast with its Dramatic Reading from Adam Strange.
  
• Scarecrow's deathtraps. Good for you, Scarecrow!
• Diogenes versus Alexander the Great.
• Damnation-vision is one of the best powers ever.
• "Unarmed photographer wanted. Must have patience and a thirst for vengeance. Apply to J. Hex."
• The Family Circus explains Foucault.
• Green Arrow is a black belt metrosexual? He was a billionaire playboy; of COURSE he is. DC's really pulling out all the stops to make me warm up to GA, aren't they?
• Aqualad and Francis Bacon.
• Luthor and Brainiac, together again, and defeated by the great fruit flavors of Airheads candy.
• Kirk and Spock playing football with hand grenades.

• Hey! Somebody remembers what Jim Corrigan is supposed to be like!
• Scotty Beatty's unusually poetic origin of Lex Luthor.

• You have to admit turning Wonder Woman, the creature from clay, and the Martian Manhunter, the flammaphobe, into candles is some grim irony!
