New review for Candy or Medicine by Josh Blair, and I’m throwing in the towel on the whole “regular week of updates” idea. Too much going on and the days just keep ticking away until I need to be out of this apartment. So, the idea is to have things up and back to normal on Monday, and I’m working to make sure that happens. If it doesn’t (as everybody who’s ever moved knows how reliable cable companies can be) and the site ends up being idle for a week or so, don’t fret, as I just paid for another year of Optical Sloth, so the site isn’t going anywhere. See you in the new place!

Well, there goes the whole “normal week” idea. Here are two reviews to make up for yesterday: Namby Pamby #4 by Rina Ayuyang and Shuteye #4 by Sarah Becan. Also, please note: for anybody who would like to order comics in the near future, this week would be a great time to do it. The transition to the new place (which should be over the weekend) should theoretically go smoothly, but I still have all my store comics with me now and will ship any orders off before the end of the week. There may be a lag after that for a few days or so, although I’m trying to make sure that doesn’t happen. Plus I wouldn’t mind a bit if those boxes were a teeny bit lighter…

New review for Neruda by Ted May, and huzzah for getting a whole week of updates out in�a relatively timely manner with all the nonsense going on at the moment. Next week should be relatively normal as well, but a day or two might get lost in the shuffle. Happy weekend everybody!

New review for Dumb Jersey White Boy #3 by Mark McMurray and, one more time, let’s go Red Sox! Pretty please?

New review for You Can’t Get There From Here #2 by Carrie McNinch…

New review for Froggy’s Problem by T. Motley…

New review for Quitter by J. Chris Campbell, and, once again, I must try to start a solo chant of “Let’s go Red Sox”.

New review for Tripe by Josh Latta, and I’m going to try for a normal week of updates next week. No promises, and things probably won’t be completely back to normal until after the move at the end of the month, but that’s the goal.

Wow, it’s really Friday already? Sorry, the week got completely away from me. Next week should be a bit more normal, or at least I think it will be (and I’ll be updating over the weekend, thanks to the wonderful Poopsheet), and the new reviews today are for The Probe by Damian Jay and Grey Bear by Graham Annable.

New reviews for Comic Characters! by Mark Todd and Chrome Fetus #6 by Hans Rickheit, both available in the store.

OK, I’ll admit it, last week got away from me completely. Between the birthday, starting work again (and the overtime that goes with it), my Red Sox being in the playoffs and trying to kill the flu that wouldn’t die, the website got shuffled off to the side. So I’ll make this pledge: for every week, I’ll get at least five reviews up. It may not be daily as most of you expect, but by the end of the week there will be five new reviews. Chances are things will settle back down to (more or less) normal soon, but just in case it happens again, I’ll make up for it over the weekends. So, for today, two new reviews: Negotiating The Beast by Sean Mac Roibin & John Robbins and Strange Science Fiction #4 by Matthew McDaniel. I also ordered some minis recently, so there should be a decent amount of new stuff on the way.

New review for Panel #1 by various Columbus people. That’s right, the mythical first issue of Panel. As for the website, no updates tomorrow because it’s my birthday and I should work as little as possible. If anybody is feeling particularly generous, you could always order some comics as a birthday present. Comics for you, a little $ for me, everybody wins!

New review for King Cat #66 by John Porcellino, also in the online store. Sorry about the late update today, but the timing of the updates will be wonky for a bit as I get settled back in at work…
