* not comics: I didn't know that Jim Davis was working on a musical version of Garfield. Or I knew it and forgot. Either way, good for him. That's a big deal for cartoonists of his generation to have that specific kind of adaptation done. Davis is also a talented actor, at least my parents always said so.
* hard to believe that Todd McFarlane's run on the Spider-Man character was a quarter-century ago. I'll leave it up to you to decided in which direction.
* "Benoit Crucifix" is the best name ever for a writer about comics.
