BW Approved Patreon: PC Weenies

BW On Patreon title card

It’s the only Patreon image in my library. Although the link is in the sidebar. You know, if you want. On the other hand, you could support this week’s promotion. Or both, I’m good with both.

Bah! Enough begging! (Also, who says “bah” anymore? Except for sheep? Or actors performing A Christmas Carol.)

Krishna M. Sadasivam (a name as hard to write as it is to pronounce) has been doing PC Weenies since October of 1998 and has found some decent success. There is only one collection in print right now, but he also does comics for numerous sites and magazines. He also started a project to help businesses make their manuals cooler with comics. This is not the only reason I’m promoting his Patreon.

Morning Article Link: Biographical Fiction

Sybil (1976 film)

The novel and movie of the same name made “Sybil” synonymous with “multiple personalities”. Except the real Sybil (aka Shirley Mason) never actually suffered from multiple personality disorder. So says Cracked contributor Vann Vicente as he looks into this and other books that not only weren’t actually non-fiction but in two cases it wasn’t written by the same race and another was part of a series of fake teen diaries. You may look twice at the non-fiction section after this one.

Chapter By Chapter: Enterprise – The First Adventure ch. 6

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Chapter by Chapter Enterprise

Well, the crew seems to be getting along, Kirk made peace with the director of the entertainment troupe but not the actor, and the winged horse doesn’t like the metal floor. Some of this may come into play this chapter. At 13 chapters plus the epilogue we’re almost half-way through the first voyage of the original TV crew, and we still haven’t reached the planet or let Koronin do anything beyond win a ship in a bet and name her primate Starfleet. I’m assuming something will happen soon.

Morning Article Link: The Best Of Ask Chris

Comics Alliance logo

This is more a link to other links, but I thought I’d bring it up. Chris Sims and I don’t agree on a lot of things, especially Transformers. However, I do have a lot of respect for his opinions and there are plenty of things we DO agree on. I’m not alone, as he has built a huge fanbase from his own Invincible Super-Blog to his current work with Comics Alliance, which is why the latter gave him his own segment, “Ask Chris” and his own v-log series Here’s The Thing. CA decided to celebrate the former with a list of the best installments of “Ask Chris”, including things we mostly agree on and a few things we don’t. I’ll let you try to figure out which is which.
