You know this Jack Thompson guy sures likes to threaten people who disagree with him. At this point he's pretty bent about Penny Arcade's response to his "modest proposal" for a violent videogame. To the point of calling on the Seattle police department to shut down Penny Arcade.

If it wasn't so laughably inept, this kind of over-the-top flinging of unjustified-lawsuit-poop could interest folks like this or this who tend to see the flinging of lawsuit-poop as counterproductive to that little First Amendment thing most sane citizens still cherish.

Don't forget to check out week 2 of the magazine! And now today's news:

Eric Burns announces that Greg Holkan will be leaving Gossamer Commons and he's looking for a second artist to carry on that webcomic. Holkan will continue working on his webcomic, [nemesis].

"Alien Loves Predator Versus Memento" today. Clever. Caro loves coffee. Perhaps a little too much.

The S*P fan-made movie is now available through Google video. (thanks Phil!)

The Watchmen was included on Time Magazine's list of the 100 best novels. Tom Spurgeon makes the excellent point that no one had to justify including this graphic novel on the list.

Earlier this week, there was a bit of a dispute between Penny Arcade and attorney Jack Thompson about Jack's offer to pay ten thousand dollars to any game company who would make and release his game about the brutal murder of people in the gaming industry. When someone did, Jack said that the offer was merely satire, and he did not intend to make the donation.

The Penny Arcade boys decided to be the better men, and with nothing more than a brief mention buried beneath their latest news post, made the 10,000 dollar donation themselves, in Jack's name. That's class.

Welton Colbert's experience with Jack Thompson, however, was handled with decidedly less class.
