Me too, ita.
Corwood, that was great. I didn't really need to fall in love with Garry Trudeau, though.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

B.D.'s whole story arc has been terrific. His daughter's friend is Mike Doonesbury's daughter, and the final panel in the strip where B.D.'s daughter says she's scared has her talking off screen while B.D. and Mike are listening. B.D. has such a broken look on his face.
Another strip has B.D. in a wheelchair in a store. A little boy is staring at him. Roughly: "You lost your leg." "Uh huh." "Were you in the war?" "Uh huh." Kid's mother: "Billy, come on now, don't stare." Kid: "So you're a hero, then." B.D., finally smiling: "I guess so."

I loved it, too, and am happy that I got to share the love with y'all.

Oh, I adore Gene Weingarten. He did another long piece for the magazine last winter about a guy who performed at children's birthday parties. Which doesn't sound like fascinating material, but it's great. [link]

Because books.
So funny -- I was just looking up the Ellen Schreiber books Jilli mentioned, as well as Thirsty, and realized I bought Thirsty for Jake a while back! I love being able to borrow books from my kid.

The Anita Blake comic book.
Eeeeeeeewwww. Nope, no more for me, thanks. Unless maybe I run across a free copy somewheres.
Is it Ellen Schreiber or Steiber? I think I know Steiber. Must go check.
The B.D. arc has just been so good. Hail Doonesbury.

I didn't realize that was the same writer. My wife and I still talk about that article.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
When did the BD arc begin? Last night I read the whole last year's archive, which is as far as I can go for free, I think.

I liked the article a lot, except for learning that Trudeau is a Yankees fan. Ugh. Take a wonderful guy...
