This will mean something to probably two or less of my regular readers. In "strangest thing I've heard in a long time" news, Brian Wood revealed on a message board I frequent that he was asked to pitch a Thundercats comic.

That's right, Brian Wood, indie-sweetheart and writer of subtle and poignant books like Demo and Local...


...was asked to pitch a comic featuring late eighties toy commercial, the Thundercats:


To give a little context for my non-nerd readers, this is roughly the equivalent of asking the Colonel to write a book about being a caring, sensitive human being.

Wood aside, If you were a kid who grew up in the 80's and have fond memories of the Thundercats you might be thinking you'd be interested in a comic featuring them regardless of who wrote it. Let me just say, as someone who really liked the cartoon when I was little, the concept doesn't hold up two decades later. Just enjoy your memories.

Hey I did write a book on being a caring and sensitive person, it's called "The Machiavellian Guide to Being Sensitive and Caring: Using Deception to Manipulate Others into Thinking You Care and are Sensitive".

I sold like 42 copies at Cafe Press, which is about 40 more than you sold of Patchworks.  


That hurt.  


thanks for the context. without that colonel analogy i was completely lost.

...like you at a heterosexual convention.  


Shut up. Hetero-con was awesome this year. I spent most of the time in the exhibitor's hall checking out the advancements in heterosexual technology, but I hear the seminars and panels were good too.  


Did you make it to the post-convention cocktail party at the Ritz?
