Jason Smith, contributor to the Escape Pod Comics blog recently wrote an article questioning the need for all-ages comics or bringing kids into comics. First read his article so you understand the context of what he’s saying–before I tell you why he’s wrong.

Jim Phoel of the Draconic Verses blog just nominated the Spotlight for something called the “Liebster Award”. I can’t find an origin for this, but apparently it’s for sites withunder 200 readers. Sadly my numbers have dropped to make this possible, or the recent changes in WordPress.com’s stat meter is more accurate. At any rate I’d like to thank Mr. Phoel for the honor. But hold up! Apparently to full accept there are certain requirements.
So guess what we’re doing tonight, folks.
And I thought keeping that cat out of my garage was a problem.

By now these two are bloody experts.
I know, I wanted to get back to my own articles but scheduling got in my way. This is late enough and if I’m going to get you a Today’s Comic on time tomorrow I won’t be able to finish the article I was going to have tonight. So we’ll do that tomorrow. Man, if only I could travel in time I’d have more of it.
Or would I? 6 Time Travel Realities Doc Brown Didn’t Warn Us About takes a look at all those messy details the Doctor always has to explain the TARDIS circumvents, like how someone ages while in another time period, how the world changes in ways Hollywood forgets for the sake of the story, and all those other things people forget. It’s just further evidence that humans discovering time travel would be the biggest mistake of all time! And we’re humans. We’ve come up with some doozies!
I guess I better just get back to work.
Even superheroes are having troubles with this snowfall.
