It's a bit quiet around here as regular contributor Jellio is off on an annual pilgramage to Las Vegas. Anyone wondering why he picked this particular time to go should know that the Hooters Casino & Hotel opens its doors for the first time tonight at 9pm. Coincidence? I think not

Seth Fisher, a brilliant and rising star in the comics world, has tragically died it was announced last night by friend and fellow artist, JH Williams III. Fisher's most recent work is the mini-series Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big In Japan
. Fisher's work was unique and detailed and probably about as imaginative as there ever was. Cause of death is currently unknown. More here about Seth at Newsarama or visit his site to see more of his work.

This is Ed Evangelista, a friend and colleague here at the company where I work. He's just been selected as one of four onscreen judges for a new TV show created by Simon Cowell and the producers of American Idol, American Inventor.

American Inventor is a reality show that will undertake a nationwide search for America's best new invention. Prospective contestants can enter a sketch, prototype or concept, and the judges will select a shortlist of the best, to whom $50k will be awarded to develop, refine and test their idea for the cameras. America will then vote for the best one, and the winner will receive a million bucks in advance royalties from the distribution of the idea. Ed's a great choice for this role, as not only is he one of the best creative minds here, he's also a master at rebuilding classic sports cars from the ground up (and a comic art collector to boot).

The show airs in March on ABC and I wish Ed all the best - he's promised me he'll give us an exclusive interview once the show gets underway. In the course of my work, I've presented ideas to him before, and believe me, he's a very hard taskmaster who ALWAYS speaks his mind, so those inventor geeks are going to have their work cut out to impress him.

Commuting Suicide
Killing myself slowly, day after day

Volume IX: "On Holidays"

It's been a while. The delay can be attributed to my video iPod, which has made commuting much more tolerable. And when I'm entertained, I'm not as cognizant of my surroundings. My absurdity radar, usually superlative, has been spotty at best.

But this week I vowed to focus. To examine. To find captivating material outside my 2.5 inch screen.

So here's what happened: A man scoffed at me for reclining my seat. I scoffed back. That was that. People seemed to be observing the NO CELL PHONE policy. My seatmates generally kept to themselves.

We're not exactly swimming in Lake Interesting here.
