Laminate THIS!*

Last night an old guy yelled at me to zip up my jacket. He sounded angry. "Zip your jacket!" he said as he walked past. "What?" I asked him. "Zip up, it's cold!" he said. He was right. It's finally cold here, which sucks but we all knew it would happen eventually. Except for a couple of weeks right away in November this has been the wimpiest winter I can recall. My attitude is, you had your chance, now just get back in the corner until Spring gets here. Too bad the weather never listens to me.

This baby sloth video is mostly for Richard, but it's OK for the rest of you to watch it.

These Swedish librarians, on the other hand, are for me and me alone.

Steve Gerber--creator of Howard the Duck, Thundarr the Barbarian, and many weird/awesome comics stories of the '70s (including some in the Essential Defenders Volume 2, which I just finished), and writer of the upcoming Dr. Fate series for DC, has a blog.

In case you missed it, there's a new excerpt up at the Secret City set.

That's it. Stay warm.

*Title has nothing to do with anything other than work annoyance.

Hey, he's a two-toed sloth! They're rare. We never saw any two-toed sloths in Peru. He also seems to have more of a face than the three-toed sloths....

Just goes to show. Every baby is cute.

He's very cute. And sleepy.

Were you living in Peru, or just visiting?

Just visiting for a couple of weeks last October. I want to go back.

I'm jealous. I pretty much want to wander South America for a couple of years, and Peru is one of the highlights.

Oh, yeah, it was amazing. Two weeks in the rainforest outside of Iquitos. We loved it.

do not ever mention this (you know, outside of here), but someone I was friends with dated Gerber for a while. She was one of the women I worked with on Tart.

I MISS COMICS. sometimes.

Oh wow. That must have been . . . interesting. I like his work (although sometimes his mix of serious and silly is a bit off), but he strikes me as a little intense.

They even yawn slow.

I know! It's pretty amazing.
