I've had the time to read up on the situation with the Danish cartoonists and I still don't have anything to write here apart from the obvious. What's more, I haven't seen any other bloggers write anything that I wanted to link to or even pass off as my own observations. Yes, cartoonists everywhere have a right to draw what they want. No, it may not be the smartest thing in the world to publish drawings that are going to get that many people that mad. Those two thoughts are not mutually exclusive.
I won't be watching the Super Bowl today. Carolyn and I are going to a play. You can get real good seats when you go on Super Bowl Sunday.
Sorry to read of the passing of Sonny King, a great entertainer who worked with Jimmy Durante and was a Vegas fixture for many years. He is most often mentioned for the historic achievement of introducing a kid named Jerry Lewis to a singer named Dean Martin. But Sonny, who I saw perform a few times when I first started trekking to Nevada, deserves to be remembered for more than that.
Lastly for now, this reminder: The WonderCon convenes in San Francisco this coming Friday. Unlike last year, when rain made for a messy weekend, the forecast calls for naught but sun, at least through Saturday. So that's a good sign. I'll be moderating a (for me) modest slate of panels and since I went to the trouble of making up the banner, I'm going to post it again…
