Airwave Comics is about to bring out a special comic book adapting one of our all-time faves — the TV special, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. It'll be available on its own or packaged with a DVD, and the press releases tell us that it will contain a bunch of special features, including a history of the nearsighted Quincy Magoo and a recipe to make your own Razzleberry Dressing, just like they serve in the Cratchit household. Copies ordered in advance will also sport a lovely painted cover rendered by my buddy Bill Morrison, who is otherwise among the head honchos of Bongo Comics, purveyors of fine Simpsons comics, and who (as you can see) draws real good. God bless us everyone.
Just to remind you: Sergio Aragonés and I are the exceptions in an otherwise stellar guest list for the Mid-Ohio Con next weekend (November 30 thru December 1) in Columbus, Ohio. I'll be hosting two spotlights on Saturday, and paneling with Sergio on Sunday. Here's a link to the website that can tell you how to be there. So be there.
Still deadlining it. I have the TiVo set to record the Martin and Lewis TV-movie tonight and hope to have something semi-intelligent to say about it here shortly.
