Still playing around with the Ten Commandments of Movie Watching. I hope you’re enjoying it. Be sure to come back tomorrow for the conclusion of that arc. Don’t fret, though. I’ll have ANOTHER extra comic for you on Thursday!
Don’t have a lot to say, mostly because I’m still adjusting from the two hour time change from my Vegas vacation. It probably doesn’t help that I’m staying up late again to finish the comic. Cami and I went to see Henry Rollins do a spoken word gig in our hometown last night and he performed a set that went on from 8 P.M. to 11 P.M. It was a good show. He gave some stupid drunks in the front row a hard time when they wouldn’t stop talking. One of the dumb girls was even on her cell phone at one point. He called them out pretty well, but sometimes you can’t cut through a drunken fog with a flame-thrower.
I didn’t find out about the Rollins show until late Monday morning. It’s ironic, because when we were in Vegas, Cami and I were wandering around the Mandalay Bay Resort. They have a House of Blues inside and Rollins was going to perform there April 18th. I lamented we didn’t take our vacation one week later. We come home, and guess who’s waiting for us?!
I want to mention again that I’m doing pre-orders for t-shirts through the month of April. Things have kind of tapered off – probably because I’m not reminding you that they’re available. Well, THEY’RE AVAILABLE! Check out the store for all the details. Remember, I need a certain amount of pre-orders or else I can’t submit an order. These are really good shirts. You can thank the good people at Brunetto for their quality screen-printing for that.
More later if I can get to it. Right now, I’m bushed. If not, see you here Wednesday!

I’m not going to lie to you. I’m stealing dialogue straight out of two of Frank Miller’s Sin City stories – A Dame to Kill For and The Babe Wore Red.
That line about the microwave popcorn, however… That’s all me.
I hate to explain the joke, but the idea is to blend the gritty noir of Miller’s work with the sublime mundane aspects of suburban couple hood. Not a lot of panels to do that with, so I hope you get the gist of it.
Sorry for not uploading an incentive sketch on Monday, but buzzComix was down (as per usual nearing the end of the month). I’m making up for it today, though. Vote for Theater Hopper and absorb my rendition of Marv from the Sin City books. Portrayed by an almost unrecognizable Mickey Rourke in the upcoming movie.
Are you excited to see Sin City on Friday? You should be. I personally have high expectations for this film. I’ve been a fan of Miller’s for a long time. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Of course, as I mentioned on Monday, I’ll be seeing Sin City after I’ve attended the first day of the Kansas City Planet Comicon comic book convention. My partners-in-crime will be none other than Mitch Clem and Zach Miller.
I sincerely hope you have a chance to stop by our booth on Artist’s Alley if you’re in the neighborhood. Keep your eyes peeled for the 2′ by 4′ vinyl banner with the Theater Hopper logo. It’s bright red and you can’t miss it.
