  • Big whopping major announcement!

    If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, what’s been taking up all my time, why I haven’t been posting much, or what I’m doing to try to make money while I’m looking for a job… HERE IT IS! It’s the all-new, all-different “Comics Relief”, my site where I’m selling off my comic book collection. Thanks…

  • Never enough time

    Unfortunately, my plans for commemorating 9/11 on the site have gone kerflooey because I’m going to be out of town until Wednesday. I knew this trip was coming up but I never found the time to prepare any articles. My plan is to do reviews of the various 9/11-related comic books. I still plan to…

  • Monitor Duty readers are awesome: Reason #137

    Ten days ago, I lamented that I wouldn’t be able to grab The Tick vs. Season One due to my being unemployed. So, I get home from an errand and there’s an Amazon box at my door. I figure that’s suspicious, since Melinda and I have pretty much stopped all online ordering over the last…

  • New campaign on Monitor Duty

    UPDATED — Campaign over, links removed. After a long absence, I finally got a new ad up on the top there. Any and all income is appreciated at the moment, naturally. I know, there probably aren’t too many of you out there who are in the market for a car, but I hope you’ll at…

What’s this concerning?” “…She’ll tell…

  • Never mind.

    Sorry, everyone, but I couldn’t get my comic collection updated despite two hours of trying. Our server host is migrating TheHutch.com to a new server. I forgot and uploaded the thousands of pages to my standard hostname. The pages never appeared online. I then looked up Powweb help, found the “right” hostname, and set my…

  • Note to commenters

    One more thing: The Ollie Queen story has been an outright firestorm. So far, 30 comments (about six or so by me) in 24 hours! It’s been great to have such an intelligent discussion with input from so many individuals. I just want you all to understand that, after about 5PM Friday, no more comments…
