BatChat With Matt & Will: Return to Will’s Bookshelf OK, so normally I would have something pithy to say about suffering through Will just picking random stuff of dubious quality that isn't available on-line and Batman '66 trades, which I just did. But what I really want to focus on are the…

BatChat With Matt & Will: ‘Cause I’m a Creep The Creeper is a weird character. He's a guy with yellow skin, a green and black banana hammock, and a red fur boa. That's a heck of a look. He's also a good guy that most think is a bad guy. And sometimes he hangs out in Gotham City. That's a lot on a…

I am sitting on my couch, watching my favorite Hallmark movie. In it, a firefighter finds a cat and falls in love with a vet student who also loves cats. I watched it every year with my cat, Bess. This year, I'm watching it for the first time since she passed with Binx on my lap and Iris at my feet.

I respect people who have them, but visiting family for the holidays reminds me why Amber and I chose to be child free cat people and not child-having dog people.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.
