And We Now Go to the Newsroom. Bob?
Thanks Jim. Well, here we are again. Another week has passed and you want to here the news. Or maybe you don't, I don't really care.

The Louvre is having an exhibit on comic strips.
Yeah, you read that right, THE LOUVRE, the most famous museum in the world. Don't worry though, they still don't think comics are art.
French bastards.

Stan Lee Media is suing Stan Lee.
Do I really need to say anything else? I guess it sucks for Stan Lee, sounds like he loses no matter what.
I don't really know what the case is about, but you want to try and decipher the legalese go here:

MAD magazine is now quarterly.
Frankly, I'm surprised it's still being published at all. Why would someone pay for humor? The internet offers scads and scads of it for (mostly) free, internet like us here at the DCR. Besides mags aimed at younger folks have been going under pretty frequently lately. EGM closed down earlier this month, after nearly 20 years, Games for Windows, and some others are now just memories or have content on the internet for free.
God help us if everyone starts charging for content on the internet, besides your ISP, what the hell would we do then?
Good night and good luck sleeping, unless you get the antidote. Mwhahaha. Just kidding.
Or am I?
I am. Good night.

MAD didn't start out as a monthly, though I forget the details.
My issue for January arrived this week, I'll get it tomorrow. I am actually quite shocked. I wonder if there will be 3 months worth of content in the magazines, or will they still be 48 pages? (and 3 months worth of ads?)
did you go to the link? that info is provided, as long as you go to the link.
Not at the time, because well, I don't remember why.
Laziness, I assume.
But the link won't tell me what's in my MAD. And I got the Jan 09 issue last month, this will be the February one. Just remembered that.
I also blame the fact that I am really really tired.
