And now, just because I need ANOTHER distraction in my life...

No, seriously, after today, I really need some distraction...

All The Cool Kids, as they say, have Blogspot blogs. Well, all of the coolest Uncool Kids, anyway. There seems to be a thriving community of comic book review and commentary columns on Blogspot; it seems to be oriented more toward "I'm writing insightful editorials" than LiveJournal.

So, I'm thinking of setting one up, to have a venue for my thoughts and comments on Sequential Art, seperate from my thoughts about politics, gaming, Second Life, my computer problems, religion, food, family, internet memes, fat dragon jokes, vore humor, Otherkin stuff, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera....

All I have to do is come up with A Clever Name.

Alas, my oldest online nom de plume has been usurped in part by a vile pretender who has a well-established following and something of a reputation in the community.

I'm considering "Your Obedient Serpent", but it's not really comics-related.

"Punching the Universe" is another possibility.

"Grauphic Novels"?

Masticating Comics

Don't do it!! Don't fall into the trap! Sure, the blogspot kids get all the attention and mock us groundlings on Livejournal. But then blogspot and blogger get lorded over by the wordpress and textpattern and typo blogs, who in turn are scorned by the elite coders who have finely-crafted hand-rolled blog sites with AJAX comments and design mag writeups.

You will get 100x more comments and traffic by posting your insightful comic reviews to HERE than starting a blogspot blog that will have a tremendous time getting read. The A-list is an insular and closed world, my friend. You could instantly vault to the top of it by being a major comics professional starting a blog, or you can languish in obscurity.

I tells ya, Livejournal is the Moleskine notebook of blogging systems. STAY HERE.

Oh, trust me, I'd stay here. TOO.

Because we all know the Truely Cool Kids have MySpace pages. :P

I've started one, but not done anything with it yet. It's titled The Science Police's Most Wanted.
