Hit a thrift store with my friends last weekend. In the stacks of wax filled with lots of polka (remember: I’m in Ohio), soundtracks to 1960’s movies, Herb Alpert albums (temping) and Sesame Street records (also tempting), I found something that I never thought that I’d find in a million years: Roxanne Shante’s first single?

A dream of extraordinary magnitude
I just got done with the photos that my friends took at Screaming TikiCon and sent me and I’m ready to do a proper convention post now. Unless noted, these photos were taken by a friend of mine who prefers to stay mysterious. We saw the Batcopter on the way to the Expo Center. I […]
Screaming TikiCon was officially a blast. I’ll have posts with more stuff later. This con wasn’t about buying cool stuff as much as it was about meeting cool people and I did that. Having said that, here’s most of what I got: Lethal Showdown sketchbook vol 1 autographed and sketched in by the man known […]
The Screaming Tikicon happens in my neck of the woods so I’ll be there Saturday along with some good friends. If you see a guy that looks like this… …that’s me. Yeah.

That’d be this: That is the intro to Kung-Fu Theater. When I was a young’un […]
These were going to be in the blog header but I didn’t like how it looked when everything was put together. Nothing spectacular here but it makes me wonder how much effort most colorists put into rendering beans.
… Pete Rock this one’s for the crew I mean, I finally have a new template for this blog. I have it because I made it with a ton of help from this tutorial. There was a preview of it in the last Illmosis update but it is now in full effect. I was going […]
Newsarama reports that talentedly ill artist LeSean Thomas has an artbook out now called Midnight Marauders. While I’m too broke to get it right now, it’s on my “I gotta get it, I got-got to get it” list. For one thing, I dig his art and design work (especially on the Boondocks animated series). On […]
More on this startling revelation as the story develops!
The Lego Minifigure, one of my favorite things to ever exist on this planet, turned 30 years old today. I owe the minifigure a lot. When I figured out how to pop off the minifig parts and put them back together in custom ways, I’d recreate my favorite characters. At that time, the very early […]
