Thursday Link Party: Comic Book-Themed Food Tastes Better
Being links I found of interest as I explored the hinterlands of the interwebs this week. Perhaps you've already seen them. If so, I apologize. I will try to read your mind harder next time.A 1990 exploration of Will Eisner's comics typography. (via Paul Pope)
Denny O'Neil talks about how to write comics, in the first of a series at Bleeding Cool. This is the only place I will ever feel it appropriate to mention that O'Neill has always reminded me of my tax guy, to a scary degree, in both physical appearance and general demeanor.
NPR's Monkey See blog offers an appreciation of HOBODARKSEID that kinda overexplains a joke that's only funny if you get it already. Also, spoiler alert: It reveals HOBODARKSEID's true identity. (It's Hawk from Hawk & Dove, although it was originally supposed to be Captain Atom. I like jokes on the INSIDE!)
Jonah Weiland remembers the short-lived Marvel Mania restaurant at Universal Studios in California. Is it weird or pathetic that I wish I could have spent $34.95 on a Galactus-themed sundae? Does it help if I explain my pleasure at drinking a Warp Core Breach in Quark's Bar at the Las Vegas Hilton? Is anybody listening to me? (via The Beat)
Nothing to do with comics, but funny as hell: Dave Lartigue transforms his computer problems into an Agatha Christie drawing room mystery. Spoiler alert, again: Lady Printer did it. With a USB cable.

I always figured if I EVER considered going to a con and dressing up as a character, I would do it as Galactus and I would fill a hollowed-out globe with candy, and walk around munchin' on Earth. I probably will never do that. Not because I'm not that geeky, I am. I just don't care enough to make a Galactus suit or to pay for a globe I'm only going to use once as a joke.
it's too bad they've never done like a Casual Galactus. You could just wear your regular clothes and accomplish the same bit.
Yeah, they should have Greg Rucka do a Galactus series. Then it could just be Galactus in a wife-beater on a motorcycle.
