A camp-centric comic strip gets Nothing More American back on track

Hey folks! With things going so smoothly here on EoP, I had a chance today to get my summer camp memoir blog back on track. I won’t post notices here every time that happens, but my the new post over at Nothing More American— the first in a long time—features a comic strip I drew to introduce the story. So, head on over to www.NothingMoreAmerican.com and check out the strip!

Few Line Reviews—Part Two of Three!

I’ve got nine more reviews here, and figured I’d post them up as I’m not sure when I’ll finish off my pile of comics from this week (5/6/2009). I’m itching to continue feeding my Conan binge, so the weekly fare is going to have to take a backseat to some sword-swinging adventures. Also, I just got a review copy of the action novel Shatner Quake by Jeff Burk in which a series of characters played by Shatner enter our reality and try to kill the actual Shatner at ShatnerCon—could you patiently wade through other fiction with that on your bookshelf?!

Far from a bullseye

With the amount of bows and arrows that appear in comics, it amazes me that artists and editors consistently overlook the basic mechanics and proper form required to accurately portray an archer in their books. This week’s cover to Deadpool #10 is a prime example of one of the many slips that occur when archery appears in comics.

Songs I can’t get enough of right now

Anytime I take a drive of any duration, my iPod is where I get the accompanying music for the journey. I’m a big fan of shuffling, so when I’m using my gray iPod classic that’s currently home to 30GB of tracks from numerous musical genres I’m hearing one random song after the next. When I get new music, I like to put it all in a playlist and shuffle through all of it so I can sample each recent acquisition and still have some diversity in the soundtrack of my commute.

Right now, these are the songs on that recently acquired playlist that I can’t stop rocking out to…
