Aggh! Wish I heard of this place when I was down there.

Boing Boing: Kiwi hotel made of plane, hill and train

The plane loooks pretty cool, but can it beat the the Hobbit hotel? I wonder if everything is on a hobbit scale. Somehow I doubt it. Oh well

When ever I see this comic I want to laugh out load and then cry as the pain sinks in.

Paul Pope & Batman Year 100

This is a project I can't wait for! I've loved Paul Pope's work ever since I saw the first THB preview and his work has just been getting better and better. 200 pages of Batman will be great, though I must say the esteemed p.p. is not always know for his timeliness. He does say that he's secretly been working on the project for the last two years. I'm also excited to get a peak at Mr. Pope's thoughts on the current police state that we find ourselves living in. It's also currious to consider continuity wise that this would be a story that takes place after Dark Night Returns. I wonder what his conversations with Frank Miller were like?
