h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

... fantastic book!

did you read reinventing comics? i was skeptical at first but i thoroughly enjoyed it

No, I don't know that one. How does it differ from Understanding Comics? (Did i mention how great that book is? )

its about the world around comics, how they are seen by the public, how they are put togather, and their future, with particular reference to the internet.
it sounds like its going to be boring, but it isnt, not even a bit

Cool. I might just have to buy that. Thanks!

no probs. my brother, who has more of an interest in computers says it has many paralels with the interactive gaming industry.
( gives as how this is a computer im writing on it seems kind of relevant to say that. though you might hate the infernal things for all i know).

ps: are you a comics fan? if no, then how come you read the book? (if yay then what do you like?)

As my personal space says, 2000AD's my fave.

y'know, i'd already read your article. i thought it was pretty good, i didn't know you'd written it though.
judge dredd is one HARD mutha', why, shoot, he'd arrest his own grandma for sneezin' in church.
i love the fact that he's such a two dimensional character. it's the world he inhabits that has such a richness to it.they have a full, complete world inwhich to tell us whatever they want. the storys are never about him. their about the people he arrests.
did you read that daily where JD deals with a hostage situation by sooting the hostage?
do you like robo hunter as well? or halo jones? or the taxidermist?
