I AM SO GLAD I LIVE IN CANADA:

A couple of days ago I read an article in ICv2 that made me darned glad to be HERE in Canada. Here is a clip from it:

"Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat was attacked and his hands broken as a response to cartoons he drew that were critical of dictator Bashar al-Assad."
I tried to link to the story but Blogger does not seem to want to accept it so here is the gist of the story:

"Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat was attacked and his hands broken as a response to cartoons he drew that were critical of dictator Bashar al-Assad, according to the Guardian."

You can criticize our way of life all you want - bottom line is that we sure as heck don't have to worry about this kind of thing up here no matter what or who we criticize.
Thanks for reading.

MY FAVORITES ARE BACK!!

As you all know by now, I am really really thrilled to be reading the books that are being put out by Von Allan. I really enjoy his stuff. Well he has finished the second book of Stargazer and has put out some preview pages with a link to all the different ways you can access them. Here is the link:

If you call us or email us at the store we will be glad to order it for you. Copies of the first volume are also still available if you missed that one. What I find frustrating as all get out is the fact that I still have to wait until Diamond ships the book to find out how it ends. Von's preview pages grabbed me again and I don't wanna wait. Wonder if I can sweet talk him into a special advanced copy for me.

Anyways...anything I can say has been said a lot better by him so please click on the link to find out more.

Wonder if he'll ever do a sequel to "The Road To" book.

Good luck and happy reading everyone!!
