Mark Evanier has a quote comparison of people who want to be martyrs. In my own personal theology, anyone who wants to be a martyr cannot, by definition, become one. Being willing to die for a cause is one thing, wanting to die for a cause is quite another.

There's a nice write-up, complete with a movie (!) of the Spawns of Insomnia event in Seattle. That was the challenge to write and draw a 24-page comic in 24 hours.

Olson Ross is feeling old? Well, at least a bit "wigged out". To tell the truth, if I faced a class full of kids that didn't know who Groucho was, I'd be a bit wigged, too.
