The Funny Pages

Good piece on newspaper comic strips in the L.A. Times. I always thought it was weird that readers would react so extremely as to cancel their subscriptions if their favorite strip was axed. Then the Washington Examiner recently dropped both Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine. I stopped reading the paper cause I was pretty ticked off. It totally disrupted my morning ritual, and they were damn funny strips, too.

Oh, I forgot to mention: At the bottom, check out the incredible lineup for that fest at UCLA. Dang!

That is an amazing line up of speakers. Kinda makes me wish I was in LA, kinda.
