Many thanks sumi and DebetEsse. That second link is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to find.

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."

and Get Fuzzy.
Probably my current favorite. Though it has not elevated to all-time classic status as yet.
Not yet a classic? You may be dead to me.

Hey, I don't put just anybody up there with Krazy Kat and Pogo. They've got to earn it over a few years. My comic strip hall of fame standards are only exceeded by that of the LPGA.

because it merely intrigued me. It wasn't like when I first opened Kushiel's Dart and got pulled headfirst into the characters' world from the get-go. And really, of all the pleasures in reading, for me nothing beats being caught up in the characters' lives and swept along by their stories.
Whereas one of my problems with Kushiel is that I never all the way believed her. Also I'm drawn into fiction by world building*, and I find the banewreaker world more intriguing than Kushiels. A difference in tastes rather than in judgement.
- I maintain that all storytellers engage in worldbuilding.

I now have Get Fuzzy on my newspaper comics page! (and the creator is pretty.)
And pearls before swine and... I've forgotten a few. Hope I didn't lose Non Sequitur.

So, Amazon supposedly sent me several books via SuperSaver Shipping. Turns out, they think they were delivered on Dec 2nd. I never saw this package of books. Will Amazon send me new ones, or am I super extra bitter and out $25?

Art Crawl!!!
I would absolutely complain.
You know, and see what happens.
So far, I've had good luck with complaining - but I haven't had an entire lost order.

amazon sent me a replacement order no questions asked when I didn't receive one once. Then later the original order *did* arrive, so being a good boy I wrote and told them and they said "ah, keep 'em both". Which was nice.

Amazon sent me a new book when I reported that the post office had done unspeakable things to the package, and Amazon didn't want the smashed book back.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I emailed them to let them know someone in their packing department had put a book I didn't order into my package. I wouldn't ordinarily have bothered, but this was a $40 coffee table picture book. They sent out a mailer for me to ship it back, and thanked me profusely. No discounts or bennies, but the karma made me feel pretty good.
