Yesterday's Get Fuzzy comic strip appeared in my newspaper with one balloon smudged, one completely blank and a head-scratching graphic in the last frame. I assumed print problems, until I looked at the
online version which displays exactly the same way. I looked at the previous few days' strips, and it still makes no sense. Is it an in-joke? Does anyone have enlightenment to share?

ComicGeekFilter: I recently downloaded my favorite comic ever (Grant Morrison's The Invisibles!), and look forward to reading them again--thing is it's just a series of jpegs, which makes it difficult to browse through. I seem to remember a comics viewer application but I don't know the name. Can anyone suggest software that would be good for viewing comics?

Webcomics: If just about anybody can make one, what tools/resources would I need? I have a good mental picture of character design, but my hand drawing is hardly worth scanning, so I might as well do it all on my compy (Yes, XQ, you can try to talk me out of it). At least at first, it'll mostly be standing-around-swapping-punchlines, so nothing too complicated. So what's out there to make me a webtoonist?

What are your favorite sci-fi comics? Indie/not-indie, superhero/non-superhero, old/new, US/not-US is fine. Fantasy and Star Trek need not apply.

I recently saw a comic posted on a community centre's bulletin board, but it was removed before I could make a copy of it. Here's a description of it: A panel divided with a diagonal line - in the top triangle we see a fit beautiful women looking at her image in a mirror - she see's an overweight frumpy image of herself - in the bottom triangle we see a man, also in a bathing suit, who is overweight and dumpy - he see's a an image of himself that is fit and handsome. There is no caption. It seems to be in the style of the New Yorker comics, but I haven't been able to find it.
Has anyone seen this comic and/or know a source for it?

I'm trying to clear up some of my clutter by selling a couple of boxes of comics. There's no Action Comics #1 in the bunch, but several 1st issues and runs from the 70's and 80's, in mostly good condition. I'm currently cataloging them, but does anyone have suggestions of methods and/or a good place to sell them
as a batch for cash or credit (so I can get bound reprints or graphic novels)?
Thanks in advance.

Digital Comics: I'm looking to download .cbr and .cbx archives of comic books. Not so I can steal the latest X-Men book (though I know piracy is rampant in this sphere), but so I can read interesting and long out of print books on my computer. The
Metal Men, for example, fascinate me.
The trouble is, I can't seem to find any repositories of old comics via Google, BitTorrent, etc. I know they're out there - any help?

I'm looking for comic books that would appeal to my seven-year old son, who needs a little motivation to practice his reading. He's into the usual stuff: killer robots, yu-gi-oh, explosions. I'm wondering if there is a good graphic novel written at his level. The only thing I've found is a weird, simplified photo-novel of Star Wars. And Captain Underpants, of course.

A number of years ago (8? 10?) there was a relatively low budget movie version of
The Fantastic Four made, only to be bought up, and never shown the light of day, awaiting a big-budget production in the future.
Has anyone stumbled across information of this aborted project, and does anyone know where some video of it exists (in a digital format)?
