Mushroom Soup Monday

My "to do" list has enough items on it that I need to put up one of these soup cans that tells you not to expect much (if any) posting here today.

A friend of mine — a person of some prominence in the comic book community — once told me semi-jokingly that whenever he died, he hoped (a) that I would still be around to write an obit for him and (b) that it would be on a day when I'd put up a soup can to tell the world how busy I was. Then I would (c) start his obit with something like, "I know I said I wouldn't be posting today but the passing of [HIS NAME] is such big news that I had to put my work aside and post this long article about how important he was to comics and everyone who works in that industry or reads them."

If you are that person, do me a favor and don't die today. Because I'm really busy. Thank you.
