    I know I’m way due for a new issue, and I can tell you that I’ve come up with a concept for the next issue, and now it’s a matter of sitting down and starting work on it. Without saying too much, I’m trying something different this time and giving myself certain restrictions. In the…

  • Tigers

    —

    All we’ve been seeing on TV since last night is news about the Hanshin Tigers winning the Central League penant. This is a big deal, I guess, because it’s the first time they do in 18 years, and the fans of the Tigers are renowned for being, well, crazy. All night they’ve been jumping in…
