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.

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.
