Kevin P's Last Attack
I’m not sure if many of you watch G4TV’s Attack of the Show. Sure, it can be hit or miss sometimes but I still dig it. And the main reason has been for host Kevin Pereira. His last AOTS is tonight (7pm EST) as he is moving on to other endeavors. He’s started a company that is producing TV and doing live nerd type shows like his recent “leetUP”.
Kevin is really...

Thank You!
As you all know, I was recently in the UK for about 12 days. It was so damn expensive due to the airfare and almost 2:1 exchange rate (not in my favor). I spent tons but wouldn’t change a thing as I had a blast! I just wanted to take the time to thank all of my awesome friends who were so kind to put me up, buy me eats/drinks and generally just take care of a little (okay chubby) wandering...

Crayford Cravings and Brighton Beach Memoirs
After leaving Cambridge on Wednesday evening, I arrived in Crayford around 8pm and ran into the arms of my good pal Jamie Smart (Bear, Find Chaffy, Corporate School, etc). Again, loyal listeners of my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER will recognize the name as he’s a well known cartoonist in the UK. And he loves me so. After a quick rest at his place, we went to my new favorite UK eating spot,...
Cambridge Educated
On Tuesday, I left the wilds of Wales and continued Jimmy’s UK tour on to Cambridge to stay with friends Emma and Andrew. Regular followers will know of Emma Vieceli as she’s been on my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER is a fine cartoonist of such hits as Dragon Heir, Vampire Academy and Avalon Chronicles. Again, I had stayed with these particular friends previously and was really looking...
Welshing It Up!
I left Bristol Expo on Sunday with good pals and two of my favorite people in the world Rich and Iz to head back to Pontypridd, Wales. It’s the home of Tom Jones so the lush hills are still littered with ladies knickers. Quick and easy train ride back. We dropped my stuff off at the crib before heading out to eat. It was baby’s first trip to Nando’s!
What’s the big...

I was over to cover for my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER and The Beat as well as see friends. I’ve attended Bristol Expo 2 previous times. First in 2008 when it was the train station like this year. And again in 2010 when it was split...
