December 23, 2012: This week President Obama addressed the nation about the Sandy Hook Elementary Tragedy and all week gun control legislation arguments raged on. The world joked and prodded at the end of the Mayan calendar long count which apparently corresponded with Friday the 21st.
This week I went to the library and picked up Pluto Vol. 1, Home Movies season 2, The Complete Cromartie High tv series, and Vol. 2 of the newer Phoenix OAV. I was so enthused I returned a few days later and picked up Pluto Vol. 2, Cross Game Vol 3 & 4 (!), Vol's 1 & 2 of Sweet Tooth, and Anya's Ghost.

100% Comic Geek
Its easy to become enamored with Becky Cloonan. She is the dreamiest: Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, Deviantart.
On a whim I started reading Tin Tin: The Seven Crystal Balls. It is easily inspiring in its fluidity, attention to detail, and masterful use of gesture. Hergé is the man.
Well, then, the other night as I was reading through the list of Eisner winners I stumbled upon Cameron Stewart's Sin Título, which I had put off reading for some time. It turns out it's very suspenseful, full of detail, and graceful gesture. And then I got to this page and the comment about the Inca piqued my interest. I google Inca from the Seven crystal balls, half expecting something about some lame Indiana Jones movie when: oh crap! That is spooky!
While we're still near the topic of the Eisner awards I delightfully encountered the work of Marian Churchland who seems poised to take over the comic scene. Well done Marian, I am overjoyed to become acquainted with your work.
Despite missing Comic-Con for another year in the last 3 years straight I've had a very comicky weekend. I read Paul Pope's 100% in one sitting. It is one of the best, most fluid and interesting things I have read. His notes at the end are very enlightening about comics as an idiom. You should pick it up.
I picked that up along with Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories this weekend at the library. Do you use your library much? You should. Stop wasting your money and support free information. Also get yerself some book smarts to go with your street smarts and cyber smarts. It's good to have 'em y'know.
