Because I Needs My Samoas!
It’s almost Girl Scout Cookie time! Starting March 13th and ending May 3rd. I’ve always found it weird/creepy that you had to “seek out” your local girl scout to buy cookies from. So I never did it. And they have those “locator” apps now as well. But I came across this handy little chart from Gothamist that will help us New Yorkers get our fix. Feel free to...

Oh, PR
I mentioned earlier on Twitter how I got a PR email where the sender literally typed that they were “considering” Comic News Insider (CNI, my podcast) for coverage of their work. As if I had to pass some test to be worthy of covering their product. Haha. It was obviously a mass PR email where you interchange the person or company’s name. And that’s fine. I just found the...
“We’ve gotta grow balls because we are ladies, because life is hard like a penis.”
– @FartWho aka my pal the amazing Michelle Vargas (who cheered me up immensely tonight <3)
Jimmy here adding something: Goddammit I love both of these ladies like Batman refuses to admit he loves Robin.
Live...I Mean...DVR Oscar Tweets!
I didn’t watch the Oscars live as I was working. Home now eating pasta I made, drinking red wine and watching.
Red carpet action. “Who are you wearing?” NO ONE FUCKING CARES.
Billy Crystal is back! Always loved him as host but this year’s opening was weak.
Don’t be fooled by the rocks that she got. Jenny from the block looking dope.
Focus group bit. Yes! The...
Jimmy Aquino Drinks In The Drops of God
I’ve heard about this manga, The Drops of God by Tadashi Agi/Shu Okimoto, for a good year or two now. As you know, I’m a huge comic book nerd. My manga reading isn’t as high but I do try to pick some up here and there. This finally became available in English last September but it had fallen off of my radar. Suddenly, it was back! My good pal Mike gave it to me for a belated...
Bo Knows Jack
I know we all have friends like this. The ones that pretend they know everything or are familiar with everything. And then when you call them out on the bullshit they act like they don’t know what you’re talking about. Por ejemplo:
I was chatting with a friend. Well, we’re not that close and don’t really hang out. More acquaintances. Let’s call them Bo. Let’s...

Via Split Reason
The main reason I’d be a Sith.
My sis wrote this last night:
“Just watched Greys anatomy and it brought me right back to the day I was in labor with Chloe. Bob and I had to sign a paper stating that we knew Chloe had only a 5% chance of survival and that we were giving PERMISSION for the hospital to take extreme measures to save her….something they must do for 23 & 24 week deliveries because after 25 weeks they...

You guys! I’ve found the Bat Cave. And it’s as glorious as I thought it would be. Gives a whole new meaning to the Bat poles.
I’m listening to this. Why aren’t you?!!
Baby News!!!
Guess which one of the Hustler girls is the mommy?

Oh, ESPN
It was bound to happen sooner or later with all of the Jeremy Lin hype. As you know, I’m half-Asian and am proud of my Asian brother making big things happen for my beloved Knicks. I know all of the “Lin” puns in the paper and online were becoming a bit too much but it didn’t bother me. And I was just waiting…just WAITING for someone to make that racist joke. And...

Zombie Paper
I don’t know where you can buy this paper but I want it! It seems German in origin so one of my German fans send me a bunch now. Achtung, and stuff.

Superhero Love
Batman is serious about his love. Sounds a bit creepy/stalkery to me. Run!
Superman is trying to take a little girl away? Kinda pedo, Supes! Amber alert!
Spider-Man starts off with a happy one. Then gets stalkery with the 2nd. And then outright tells you he has a split personality. Swing away from this one!
Let’s see. The droids are sarcastically saying you’re just okay....

whipstickisses:
Lately there’s been a three-pronged attack of Fairy Tales hitting me all at once - Grimm and Once Upon A Time on TV, and me cleaning out my comic store box and finding a pile of Fables comics to catch up on. I’ve always been a fan of variations on these fine tales from the Disney to the…
Great breakdown, Mons! I’m really digging Once Upon A Time but am behind on...

Meeting the Comic Book Men
