Odd comic of the day: Exploding Head Man, which is worth a look for the interface as well as for the comic itself. (Found via The Comics Reporter.) With Fishtown getting ready to go into print soon, The Daily Crosshatch talks to Kevin Colden about where the story came from and why he turned down [...]
You’d be amazed by the kind of news you stumble on with a handy Google Alert in place.

I think I’ve got it all figured out: PVP is basketball. That’s the big connection they’re going to make at the end of the series. I think I’ve won the Internet now. When I worked for a newspaper, we covered all kinds of issues. Everything from gay marriage to abortion to gun control. Still [...]
