Every Wednesday we run down the 5 most interesting comics or graphic novels coming out for the week.

I noticed the first real chill of the year this morning as I walked through the streets of NYC - my hands were actually cold as I worked my new iPhone. And I wondered how that touch screen was going to work with woolen gloves.

And as if by magic, in my feedreader today pops up a story about DotGloves - wool gloves with metal studs on the fingertips designed especially for those of us in chillier areas of the country who use iPhones. Sold!

Yesterday Miss Cellania showed us many pictures of herself in past years at Halloween costumes. Since then, a few of you have sent me pictures of yourselves in costume, and I'll be running a gallery of them next week, so please keep them coming in. In the meantime, here's a few of myself from the last three years. Trick or Treat is not something we ever did in England as I was growing up, so it's only in the last few years as my children have done it that I've taken the opportunity to dress up myself.

Build the bridge across the river. What could be simpler, right?

Real or edited?

Either way, I'm not going to attempt it.
