RushOrderTees Review: Custom Tees, My New Favorite Way to Advertise My Site

Comics Worth Reading has never had a nifty logo, but my Sherlock Holmes in Comics site has a cool (imo), professionally designed (I think these two factors are related) one. Thus, when Rush Order Tees asked if I wanted to sample their product, I jumped at the chance. Now that I have a pretty logo, I wanted to promote it.

Wacom Intuos: A Trial Run

Thanks to the generosity of a publicity person, I had the pleasure of trying out a small Wacom Intuous tablet recently.

I’m Going to San Diego This Year!

We are long past the days when you could up and decide to go to the San Diego Comic-Con, which starts in two weeks, but somehow, I managed it. (With thanks to a friend with a hotel room, another friend with an extra badge, and a third who needed panel moderating help.) So!
