I actually really wanted to post a cartoon this week, but due to being swamped (see <a href=\"http:\/\/aquafortis.blogspot.com\">personal blog<\/a> for details), instead I&#8217;m providing you with an external toon link. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penny-arcade.com\/\">Penny Arcade<\/a> is a fun comic that is usually themed around video games, but in light of the latest Harry Potter movie and book coming out (which I am excited about, despite any criticisms I may have of either book or movie), I thought I&#8217;d direct your attention to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penny-arcade.com\/comic\/2005\/11\/16\">this comic of theirs<\/a> that&#8217;s somewhat appropriate to the HP craze. Warning: cartoon contains naughty words. Secondary Warning: cartoon is much higher quality than mine. Don&#8217;t get spoiled.<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;re on the subject of comics, at some point I found out (and forgot to blog) that Wendy Pini, creator of the comic\/graphic novel fantasy series Elfquest, is working on a comic series called <a href=\"http:\/\/publishersweekly.com\/article\/CA6447102.html?industryid=47140\">The Masque of the Red Death<\/a>, loosely based on the Poe tale and marketed to young women 17 and up. I&#8217;d always wanted to read Elfquest, and still haven&#8217;t gotten around to it, but this new project sounds VERY cool.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m going to be at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madog.org\">conference<\/a> the week after next, and then the day after I get back, I&#8217;m leaving for LA for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scbwi.org\/events\">SCBWI conference<\/a>, so there will be two weeks without Toon Thursday, unless for some reason I magically produce comics and input them while also being president of a nonprofit organization and being on a panel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadly, Toon Thursday will be going on hiatus next week and the week after.
