This was the week of the DNC where Bill Clinton spoke honeyed words to the masses, the season opener of the 2012-2013 NFL season, the passing of Michael Clark Duncan, and an incident at PAX that sparked a lot of discussion about the treatment of women in public.  It was Dustin Harbin's birthday on Thursday, and Kate Beaton's birthday on Saturday.  She also won 3 Harvey Awards!  Congrats, Kate!  Also Vera Brosgol won a Harvey for Anya's Ghost!  Congrats, Vera!

I started following lowlighter after his gravity falls fanart put a second blip on my radar.  I drew a comic this week.  It's alright.

Brian Fukushima reminded his old fans and revealed to his more recent fans (me) that he did a podcast with @tartpop called Spy vs. Pie.  Hey check out this homemade Totoro costume!  I must have missed the memo on Looper opening this weekend.  I started following Sara Pocock.  Here's a Longshot comic by Corey Lewis and Dylan McCrae from 2007!  Here's another old gem from the livejournal days:  25 Lives by Tongari.

This week I learned about Jiro Dreams of Sushi, August Moon by Diana Thung, Osamu Tezuka's Kaos, and Henry Darger.  Homestuck was all over comic headlines because of its record breaking kickstarter campaign.  I missed out on a late submission to amb0rg's Punked Zine, but I saw pennyloafing's preview this weekend and that almost makes up for it!

My Kingdom for my Youth

Couple of late posts.  Feeling so overwhelmed lately.  This was the weekend of San Diego Comic Con, so it felt especially depressing, but I've kept the whimpering to a minimum.

Okay I just got back from swimming with my friend and his family.  That was refreshing.

Early this past week I saw this Sailor Batgirl by Corey Lewis get covered.  I followed that to this Justice League of Japan art by Cliff Chiang from a while back.  And then I had the bright idea for a few of my own weird superhero twists, but mums the word until I can commit to drawing them.

Here's a blast from the past by Emmy and Anthony (Laser Pony!).

Speaking of those two the Benign (B9) Kingdom Fall Kickstarter is on.  The season is already funded, so any new donations will only make the editions nicer.  I hope one day to have the money to buy all the hardcovers for however many seasons they end up doing.

I downloaded Little Nemo in Slumberland because I thought I didn't already have it.  I did.  I later did the same thing with Watchmen.  Other things I added to my queue were: DC Showcase: The Return of Black Adam, Justice League: Doom, Fushigi Yuugi, Yu Yu Hakusho, Bakemonogatari, and Denpa Teki na Kanojo.

  The Higgs Boson was discovered this week.  Daniel Tosh got into a heap of trouble when a blogger wrote about an incident at one of his shows.  I was crushing hard on Danielle Corsetto, and got to see her and Randy at ComfyCon.  I later saw Aaron Diaz, Angela Melick, and Anthony Clarke.  That was tonight actually.  I read a bunch of Girls with Slingshots.  Then I watched a bunch of Community and after today a bunch of The Guild.  Also today I was introduced to K-Rock band The Electric Eels.
