Back to that Time top 100 list, we decided to go head to head and compare our high school educations. Monica edged me out at 16 to 12. But there's a link on the side to the top ten graphic novels. There we're both at 80% (or I will be, once I finish off Bone — I just don't want it to end).

Been up to all sorts of comic-related stuff that doesn't actually involve working on this comic. Last weekend, we joined some fellow 7000 BC members in running a comic workshop at a teen center at the town north of here. We went straight from there to an opening at Feral Gallery where the group had a table and conducted a respectable amount of business and met a bunch of interested folks. Monday found more of us back at IAIA for the second part of a workshop for an English comp class there. And now we're gearing up for an event next weekend at Sol Arts in Albuquerque.

Matt was kind enough to mail a couple of issues of Wonka Vision, the Philly-based indy music magazine. Their latest (not on their Web site) features art and design, and has a nice one-page article (with photos) on the DC Conspiracy. Available at Tower Records and Newbury Comics and the like.

I was tipped off to this major comics exhibit a while back by my inside source at the Hammer, and been waiting ever since. Looks to be a thorough look at the a century of the medium. Hope to get out there early next year.

As noted on Icarus, Time has compiled a list of the 100 greatest English novels (since the founding of the magazine), and Watchmen was on it. A solid choice, pretty bold sticking a comic in there — and good, as it greatly helped me improve my total. Recently pulled out V for Vendetta for a re-read, and was impressed with how well it held up. What little I've read about the movie has me expecting the worst, but the trailer is pretty seductive.
