Monday's strip is up here. The mystery of Billy Fang continues to unravel. For more on the twist at the end, look to Wednesday's #106. My apologies for the partial lego nudity. (if that doesn't entice you to click the link, I don't know what will)


Also:
--I'm not a vegetarian anymore! I'm super excited and have already managed to consume beef, turkey, chicken, and pork in the last 36 hours. Gross, right? So much for the 12 pounds I lost over the last six weeks.
--I picked up the new Gnarls Barkley album on Friday (The Odd Couple), but I've only listened through once or twice so far. What I've heard I really like.
--Finally saw Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. Maybe the weirdest movie I've ever seen. And I've seen some weird stuff.

Read the comic here. As you'll see, it's high time to get some much needed estrogen back in this comic.

In related Jibidy news, stay tuned to this blog for information on how you too can own your very own copy of Captain Jibidy vol 1. (A print collection of strips 50-99)

In unrelated music news - I've been experimenting a bit with itunes lately. I usually play new music to death and I decided to mix it up a little bit and sort my library by "last played", start at the bottom, and listen to all the music I haven't listened to for years (in some cases since 2004 or 2005). Here's a sampling of the gems that have cropped up:

Don Henley - End of Innocence
BNL - If I had a Million Dollars
Saliva - Click Click Boom
Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow - Picture
Defuser - Karma
Pinmonkey - Barbed Wire and Roses
Ja Rule - I Cry
Leeann Rimes - Can't Fight the Moonlight

I've got NO idea why these songs aren't on high rotation. Seriously.

Best song title I've heard in awhile

"Got Ma Nuts from a Hippie" by the Fratellis. Plus, the song is actually really good, and the band name is great (wonderful Goonies reference.)

New Booty Mix

Party Ben's posted a great new hour long mashup on his site - www.partyben.com. Star Wars music fans should especially check out.

Best of 2006

I hate how people always do their best of lists before the year is over. What happens if something really good comes out Dec 31st? What if some of us are pretty lazy? Anyways, here are my best ofs for 2006:

Best Movie: Superman Returns - you know it must be good if a Marvel zombie picks it in a year with an (even mediocre) X-Men movie.
Honorable Mentions: Pirates 2, Thank You For Smoking, Borat

Best New Show: Heroes
Honorable Mentions: Studio 60, Blade: The Series (RIP)

Best Returning TV Show: Lost
Honorable Mentions: Grey's Anatomy, 24

Best Album: Scissor Sisters "Ta Dah"
Honorable Mentions: Wreckers "Stand Still, Look Pretty", Gnarls Barkley "St. Elsewhere"

Best Comic: Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.
Honorable Mentions: Astonishing X-Men, Fables, Runaways

I'd write fun reasons, but you won't read them.
