I was never a fan of comics as a kid, but after being introduced to a few really impressive “graphic novels” as an adult (i.e., Maus, Blankets, and Palestine), I’m a little more open to the artform.  So I found myself sucked into the webcomic Yehuda Moon the other day. Not as serious as those graphic novels, but a bit of light – if occasionally pointed – fun. If you’re a cyclist, check it out.

Perhaps the most entertaining session I attended at the first YearlyKos convention was the one where Dave “Mudcat” Saunders threatened to punch Whistling Past Dixie author Tom Schaller for speaking frankly about some of the uglier sides of the South.  As I’ve previously noted, Tom’s probably not the best messenger, but he’s got an important message. Vivian Paige just started posting a multi-part review of the book, and I’m looking forward to her take on it.
