Well, that was exciting. Power eventually came back on at 3 am, but before that we had high winds and tons of thunder and lightning. Lots of downed trees in the Chicago area. But, we’re OK. New STBU tomorrow.

Having become somewhat legendary for starting and stopping comics abruptly, John Troutman returns from his year-long hiatus with Flat Feet & High Heels - a tale about a few dicks and several dames who solve crime (but mostly just bitch about their personal lives).  With only three weeks of comics in the archives, now is the perfect time to start reading!  Check it out today!

Scott over at Johnny Saturn has mentioned Local Heroes a couple of times in recent posts. His first mention was in creating a list of online superhero comics. His latest musing examines the use (and non-prevalence) of the superhero in webcomics. It's very interesting stuff, and I recommend you going there right now to read it.

Comics Worth Reading gives a decidedly mixed review to Webcomics 2.0, a new book about making webcomics.  From the review, it sounds like the book was put together fairly slapdash without much good advice for a person serious about making a webcomic.  UPDATE: The perils of blogging -- while the review is definitely mixed, I think on second read it's not accurate to say it was slapdash (as pointed out by one of the co-authors in the comments). FWIW, I was only trying to characterize the CWR review; I have not read Webcomics 2.0 myself.

Hi There, I have been doing a comic for Greenpeace International's Toxic Campaign about e-waste in Ghana... I thought you guy's might like to see it. You can find out more about the Ghana e- waste dumps here
