sastyk | March 12, 2010First of all, I present to you, the cover for my new book (not yet finished, but it will be really soon) forthcoming this fall.

I want it on a T-shirt!

I am staying with a cat named Jack in Helsinki, and of course, this means I am redicovering something about cats I'd forgotten, but this phenomenon is well-established scientifically, as you can see from the graph above.
zooillogix | October 14, 2008They just don't write spine tinglers about killer pandas like they used to. Check out Heroic Comics #35, Facing Death in a Panda's Mouth, in its entirety below the fold.
Thank god they shot that panda. I thought they were goners! Via judgeabook.
