Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures

Here's the part where I try to avoid getting sued ...

As you undoubtedly noticed, I like comics. I wouldn't call myself a "fan boy" because I don't give a flying FOOM what they are worth. That said, almost all the images on my blog are scanned from comics I own, and it would be frankly impossible to tell you where each one comes from specifically.

Many are © and/or ® Marvel Comics Group, with all rights reserved.

Others are © and/or ® DC Comics, which is an arm of Time/Warner, and not only are all rights reserved but they are a little jealous about it, so if I get "the letter" from them, those images are just going to turn into blank spots until I configure out what to do about that.

There are also the occasional images from Valiant, Image, Defiant, and some indies which I'm not sure even have a name, and they are all also © and/or ®, all rights reserved.

All other images not covered by this disclaimer are the property of their respective owners, and if you are one of those people and you see your image on my blog, tell me what you want me to do about it and I will. No sense making people angry.

Hope that helps.

#moonfruit mania

Because I have succumbed to #moonfruit mania on Twitter, I am resorting to posting pictures of sad homeschool children in order to draw the the sympathy of the judges and somehow get them to pick me! pick me! for one of the keen MacBook laptops they are giving away for their 10th anniversary



In this picture, we see said pathetic homeschool child with the computer her father used to draft his Master's thesis some 20 years ago. Of course, she is not forced to use said nostalgic box, but it's included to give you some idea of the environment she's growing up in.



This is actually one of the computers she is forced to use for homeschool. Yes: it's a nice white laptop, but it's actually the same age as she is. Would you use a computer which was the same age as you? I think not.



This last photo is a picture of this sad and deprived child and the computer she's forced to use when her brother is doing school work. It's from 1998, and while it's very stylish in black, it runs an OS with a single-digit referent which the manufacturer doesn't even support anymore. It doesn't even have internet connectivity, for pete's sake!

So as the very solemn and serious judges of #moonfruit think about the future of their competition, they should think about this poor, sad-faced girl and her father (who is above the age of 16, and therefore qualified to win, you see) who are clearly in dire need of one of the #moonfruit prizes.
