Sensational Sabre

It seems like Blogger has a tooth against the productive ones, the avant-gardistes, the brave and the bold
- those who extend their service to the limit...?
Not quite sure, but I do not think that any one of Sabre's
many, many blogs, has in fact been picked up yet
for the supreme honor of being bestowed upon the
near-right of passage blogger merit of becoming
one of those "blogs of note" - a few of which I, in turn,
will analyze here, in "blogs to denote"...
And, of course, I do so to denounce their selection,
more often than not! ;)

However, with Sabre's many offerings -
and my own, in fact (I am admitting though
that Sabre has even more titles than I do -
and she remains strictly journalistic,
while I do take too many liberties with that... *lol*)
Blogger does NOT WANT TO admit that there is,
here as in Sabre-land, ample evidence of both "Q"s -
quantity AND quality!

Instead, they stubbornly
(pig-headedly, I'd rather say)
keep promoting, for a time, the odd little blog,
the itty-bitty weblog that is truly aimless...
as long as it is offbeat, trendy or just oddball funny!
And all that, surely, in a constant effort to
attract the everyman and the layman
to come to them, rather than the many
dastardly competitors out there -
WordPress and Bravenet
to name but the top two!

Do Sabre and Luminous Luciano
deserve to be ignored, though?
:(

Geeks Are Great!

Only a great one would post this pic on his blog -
something akin to anti-tech blasphemy of a retrograd nature!
But no - this idea was actually applauded by a techie!
Imagine - he applauds going full circle!
A computer being recycled into a snail mail recipient!
Alas, it wasn't a PC - but really a MaC!

One cannot win them all, eh, Bill?

Is It Really All About M.E.? Well - YOU Decide!

As far as weblogs go - they don't get much better than this, I am sure!
In my effort to seek out blogs that are (unfortunately?) not powered by Blogger,
(it is, indeed, truly powered by DreamHost...!)
I found a veritable gem that had been, all this time, right under my nose...
Mark Evanier's weblog, that is!
Evanier and the late Gruenwald are the two Marks
that re-establish my faith in Marks
so undermined since the advent to prominence
of the Wahlberg, Damascus & Messier
messy varieties
(not to mention one or two personal acquaintances -
à bon entendeur, salut!)

Evanier is an old-timer and a traditionalist -
my kinda scribe and wordsmith!
He respects the likes of Jack Kirby, Bob Haney and Paul Norris -
for whom he posted heartfelt eulogies on the weblog we're reviewing here today -
and that puts him in my definite "ok guy" list!
Plus, he knows how to make his weblog
a place of profitable commerce
(or attempt at plugging stuff, anyhow)
as evidenced by this little vignette:

Nice punny ad, eh
Okay - he just lucked out in that his initials
form the word "me" -
the above joke, which makes it sound as if he is
the ultimate sell-out, of a sort,
wrote itself out, really...!
But then, most honest creators
(like, for example, Paul Norris)
have admitted that their material
and characters truly do
"write themselves up" -
aye, by themselves!
But that is another story...

Having said all this, hence,
I would not encourage you to "BUY M.E."
- he who outright lies to you
by stating on his very first offering there
that comic-bookies are a "necessity of life"?
HA - no way, you Mark!
;)

BUT... you run a good weblog! :)
