Links to make you thinks.
- Emailed to me by everybody: an installment of the Rhymes with Orange comic strip starring a certain muck-encrusted mockery of a man of some note.
- Blogging brother Tim points out an…interesting “Bullpen Bulletins” from the desk of Mr. Shooter.
- The CO2 Comics folks write about comic creator compensation in this brave new world of big budget movie adaptations…and notes that Bill Mantlo’s financial benefits from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie may not be as dire as assumed.
- Here’s a new comics blog about selling off one’s collection, and about the urge the drives the need to create such a collection in the first place. Seems like it’ll be interesting.
- Bully‘s pal John presents 13 great Spirit splash pages…and Bully has a fourteenth!
- Not comics, but close enough: Dave gives the Firefly board game a shot. (SEE ALSO this mean joke I made near the end of this post.)
Thanks for the link plug, Mike!

Wow, that Bullpen.
It reminds me, years after Shooter’s rein, there was a Spider-Man run where JJJ puts out a book of his hero photos (this was when McFarlane was drawing the title) and humorously informs Pete that he gets none of the profits because those photos were sold lock stock & barrel to the Bugel.
HILARIOUS.
Of course there’s a happy ending, Pete gets paid to travel across the country promoting the book–lots of jabs at conventions and comic fans ensue.
