Today’s comic is the last one you’ll see from me until next week. Cami and I are skipping town this Wednesday for a trip out to the Nevada desert. That’s right – Sin City. “VEGAS, BABY! VEGAS!”

/end Swingers reference.

Cami and I went to Vegas last year with my parents. We had never gone before and they wanted to take us out there. We thought it was a grand idea. That is, until our flight out of Des Moines was 5 and half hours late.

To make up for the snafu, the airline gave us free tickets back out to Vegas. They expired in July, so we figured we’d better cash in. So there you have it!

But just because I’m leaving town for a few days doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t keep coming back to the site! I have guest strips all lined up for you while I’m away. And don’t forget the forums. It’s a great place to talk to like-minded people going though Theater Hopper withdrawal! You can form your own support group.

By the way, did you guys know that I was selling t-shirts now? Yeah, it’s true. In fact, I’m taking pre-orders through the end of April. You should really pre-order your shirt right now so you’ll be sure to have yours included in the first batch of orders.

Wanna talk about something movie-related now? Okay!

I went to see Hellboy with Jared on Saturday and I loved it! In fact, I think my admiration for the film has only grown stronger since my first viewing. I’m seriously considering seeing it again before we leave town.

For me, Ron Perlman IS Hellboy. He totally makes the movie. He’s got a great “been there, seen that” working-stiff attitude that’s a real treat to watch. This, as opposed to the macho bravado of most other super heroes.

The effects in this movie are stunning – especially the puppetry and costume work of the main villain. At times things can get a little CGI heavy and some wire-work is immediately apparent, but it didn’t diminish from the overall wonder this film casts over you. It’s just a really great ride. If I have time, I might throw together a review for the bonus materials pages. Things have been sparse over there for a while.

I’m going to try and keep the lines of communication open as much as possible before I take my vacation. So if you want to chat it up, the forums are the place to do it.

By the way, you should check out our latest advertiser Maveric PC. They advertised with us once before. They liked us so much, they decided to come back! If you’re in the market for a top-of-the-line custom PC, these are the guys to see!
