Spill Dot Con is just around the corner (like... in three days), and hordes of you Spilleos are about to descend upon Austin like locusts unto Egypt. 

Yeah, kinda like that.

Now, some of you are getting here early and may be looking for things to do to…

How To Get Girls Into Comics...

 

Don… oh screw it, I’ve made this joke too many times.

 

This is one of the most common questions I get that isn’t “Should I tell her I like her?” or “how do I get this girl to like me?” and it deserves its own entry into the Dr. NerdLove canon.  It’s one of the issues where what’s being said isn’t really what’s being…

LeFou I'm afraid I've been thinking...



The new Kindle from Amazon's got a few of my friends all a-twitter (in some cases, literally a-Twitter...) about it's storage capacity and the relative heft, etc etc.



And me, as a bibliophile who has to clear out his shelves every three months because I run out of room to store books when the shelves are already three-deep...
