...hidden as a manufacturing label. Not your usual comix cover. Flipping it open you expect to find a catalogue of radio parts, but instead get sucked in by the new-old-fashioned penwork of Matt Kindt. He relies on just a few, expressive strokes and flat blocks of black ink to create the art deco world of "Pistolwhip." Nearly abstract slashes and squiggles organize themselves into characters and place, often seen from wild points of view. One panel uses a briefcase perspective, a gigantic wrist at the bottom and a tiny head...
...entertaining game of cat and mouse. I blocked the address of anyone who sent me spam, only to find that most spammers change their addresses every time.

Her father Diosdado Macapagal governed the Philippines from 1961-65, and Arroyo reclaimed her old teenage bedroom when she moved back into the palace. Sitting primly on the edge of a sofa, she comes across like a college...
...Today it is vital as an emulsifier and suspension agent in soft drinks and candy bars and as a stabilizer in cosmetics and newspaper ink. Scientists have yet to find or invent an exact alternative to the amber-like substance, so products such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Minute Maid rely on imports from Sudan, which supplies more than 80% of the world market...
