Hi, Everybody!

VARK WARS: WALT'S EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

And there is more High Society than you can shake a baby at.

This is getting posted a little later, so as to let everybody finish holding for Dave Sim.

And: Here. We. Go.

Oliver Simonsen:

No sooner did Tony Dunlop express concern in the comments of last Sunday's column, whether it was safe to click the links, and I get hacked. It's an ongoing NIGHTMARE. So yeah maybe don't click the links. It's a long column and there's hopefully plenty to enjoy still. I doubt me being hacked is Cerebus related as I've been posting links for years in the facebook group and my own blog and this has never happened to me before. I'll let you know how it turns out.

[Well we're all real sorry to hear that Oliver. However could this have happened? I can attest that I check all the links before I post the column, and I haven't had any problems. Okay, let's get started: First up is "Sexy aardvark singles near you." -Matt]

Might recall he was featured on Dave Sim's Weekly Update this month last year
https://youtu.be/jfqn_h4zE1U

Btw is it the 4 year anniversary of "Dave Sim's Weekly Update" this month? First video on the channel is from March 2015. Every Friday for 4 years...has that been matched by any vlogger? Does that make Dave Sim king of the internets?!

Margaret Liss shares: "Now & Then Books had the matchbooks made. As far as I remember Dave used up all of his back when he was smoking.
This book still has all the matches in it."

I think maybe this issue features an excellent review of the first issue of my own comic, "Captain Zap", as well.

There's something about it that made me put it at the top of my read pile. "Captain Zap" sets the reader off on a journey that forces him to examine himself as an individual while the characters do the same. This isn't a comic to glance at, this is a comic to read and think about.
