Today I was at the Source of Comics and Games (my fave comic shop up in Falcon Heights) and I grabbed The Lion Graphic Bible off of the New Books shelf. It’s 256 pages of many of the stories of the Old and New Testaments rendered in a beautiful painted style and retold clearly. You…
A pity no one caught this typo!
I just got back from the Micro Con in the Twin Cities. Or I should say, I got back from the Twin Cities after arriving at the Maplewood Community Center and discovering that the convention is on Sunday. A pity that no one contacted me after my earlier post to point out that my claim…
