Eight columns previously posted on this website have been removed. Why is this? Because I'm starting to assemble a sequel to my book (incessantly plugged on this site) Comic Books and Other Necessities of Life. Those eight columns will be in it, along with 20 more that haven't been posted on this site, plus about five more that have never been published anywhere. Don't start looking to buy this new collection because it won't be out 'til late this year, by which time you'll be sick to death of seeing me mention it here.
