I'm going to change my entry from Jabba's guard that looks like a pig to a Man of Steel that kinda acts like one.

I don't know which is funnier, the lack of anatomy or that he hit a baseball with a tennis racket.

Cool that they did a Spider-Ham Civil War one-shot, kind of lame that everyone's a pig now.

Agent Helix

I'm guessing he was something of a pig behind the scenes, according to the people Don listed?

The three ladies have made allegations that they were sexually harrassed by Julie Schwartz.

By failing to respect previous Spider-Ham continuity, they more closely captured the spirit of Civil War.

4th Horseman, although I am also disappointed by the species homogenization.

Also looks like we have to strike Coverbrowser.com off the list, now, too. They don't appear to be allowing hotlinking any more.

Seriously. A pig in space dealing with the Alien monsters? What the hell was that story about?

I've been using comicbookdb.com, but I like (and am so used to) Comics.org's set-up that I usually go look it up there first. db doesn't have the nice thumbnails to look through.

The only drawback I have found on Comicvine is that the issue thumbnails are in reverse order, with the most recent issues first and oldest issues last.

Hon mentions to Slam and Schornforce.

I'll always upload the pictures to imageshack or photobucket, at least then you're sure you're supposed to be hotlinking them.

Guess again!

Combination of browsing through a neighbor's Archie collection and following that up by looking at some on the Interwebs. I really couldn't forget that cover because 1- I didn't know Archie had issues that took place in Canada and 2- bacon reference. Sweet, sweet bacon.
