However, the e-mail solicitations continue and range from things like &#8220;if you rewrite your blog post with links to our site and become a shameless marketing shill, we&#8217;ll pay you BIG BUX&#8221; to &#8220;would you like to review our book about swingers?&#8221; So, I thought I&#8217;d run this one again.<\/p>\n<p>The other reason for the re-run is that, guys, I am TIRED this week. So I made a bit of an executive decision that it&#8217;s a Toon Thursday spring break, as a little early birthday present to myself. Not that I don&#8217;t love drawing the toons, but I also love reducing my workload and, thereby, reducing my stress, at least temporarily. In the meantime, go check out this intriguing new site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.20somethingreads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">20SomethingReads<\/a> (&#8220;A time to re-discover reading for pleasure&#8221;&#8211;great tagline, eh?), give a virtual visit to the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/events.latimes.com\/festivalofbooks\/\" target=\"_blank\">LA Times Festival of Books<\/a> (which I would dearly love to attend someday), and read <a href=\"http:\/\/graphicnovelreporter.com\/content\/have-some-faith-faith-erin-hicks-and-friends-boys-interview\" target=\"_blank\">this interview<\/a> with <i>Friends With Boys<\/i> author Faith Erin Hicks, all shamelessly pulled from the <a href=\"http:\/\/graphicnovelreporter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Graphic Novel Reporter<\/a> newsletter.
