\"\"<\/a>Item!<\/strong> My good friend Ben Spiegel came up with a very cool Google Map, mapping out where all of the locations from the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels are in the real world! It’s super-neat and I’m all kindsa proud of him! You can check out the map at http:\/\/www.sleepisfortheweak.org\/sp\/<\/a> and a fantastic interview with Ben at Torontoist, at http:\/\/books.torontoist.com\/2010\/07\/come-on-pilgrim-the-ultimate-scott-pilgrim-map\/<\/a>. Congrats Ben!<\/p>\n

Item!<\/strong> My good friend Eric Kim wrote and drew and self-published a book called “The Complete Plays Of William Shakespeare”, in which he has adapted all of The Bard’s plays as two-panel comic strips! It’s a great book that debuted at TCAF this past May, and while I’m a bad friend for not having mentioned it until now the good folks at The National Post have my back. Check out this great feature on Mr. Kim \u00a0http:\/\/natpo.st\/ccEH0X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Edit: The morning brings fresh, awesome things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Item! <\/strong>My good friend Steven Murray writes regularly for The National Post, usually dolling out extremely bad advice and wearing branded-panties in the name of politics, but now he’s stepped beyond the pale and started a regular column about “pop culture” for the post. His first installment is about “nerds”, with the focus being nerd-prom (San Diego Comic Con) that just passed. Check it out at http:\/\/bit.ly\/dnuiBq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Item! <\/strong>Last week, just before Scott Pilgrim madness, I got invited over to Mr. Corey Mintz’s house to participate in his next FED column, toasting the release of the sixth Scott Pilgrim graphic novel and Mr. Bryan Lee O’Malley. A whole whack of Bryan’s friends were invited over as well, and we all ate very delicious roasted pork shoulder (prepared three ways). It was a lovely evening. You can read all about it at http:\/\/bit.ly\/9gd4D8<\/a><\/p>\n
