No, I haven't forgotten you, dear POVonliners. I've been busy with a script, and whatever time I can spare for Internetting has been spent writing and designing a couple of new sections I'll soon be adding to the non-weblog part of this site. You'll see them here in a week or so.
I've received a lot of e-mail from fans of Supercar and other Gerry Anderson shows. Dave Hobson wrote to tell me of his new website that's devoted to Supercar memorabilia. Neat.
I've also received an awful lot of forwarded mail and links to pieces asserting that nefarious things were done during the vote count last week, especially in Florida and Ohio, and that John Kerry won or should have won. That strikes me as unlikely but not impossible…and I guess I lack the energy to get too immersed in such charges. These kinds of things depress me in how the evidence — whatever there is — gets processed not on its merits but as just another partisan response. There may be enough proof to convince those who really, really don't like George W. Bush but there can never be enough to convince those who want him in the White House…and probably not enough to get the major news outlets to cover it like a real story. Which is why it'll never amount to much.
Lastly, a couple of folks have asked where they might see the next round of the popular Quick Draw! game that I host at conventions, usually with Sergio Aragonés, Scott Shaw! and another cartoonist or two drawing challenges that I throw at them. At the moment, the next outing looks to be at the Wondercon in San Francisco, next February 18-20. Details are not yet posted at the con website but you can register online there, and you may want to begin making plans to be there.
