Well, I guess I’ll have to set one up for her now! Sounds like we need to go over “Christian work ethics” again, though.

Just wanted to issue a reminder: make sure you don’t miss out on your free Donald Duck comic book from Gemstone Publishing next Saturday, May 6th! It’s got hilarious stories from an all-star cast of creators: Don Rosa, Pat & Shelly Block and William van Horn!

For all the details, visit the Free Comic Book Day official web site.

“When we first decided to do this, we set out to make a comic book with the obvious message: help the survivors of the hurricane. As we started, it dawned on me that it will have been almost six months since the storms hit before the book hits the shelves. And suddenly, for me, that became part of the message. Because by February, when Tempest comes out, most celebrities will have stopped [coming] by for photo ops and you won’t see any marathon fund raisers on NBC. But the NEED will not be gone. We can’t stop giving just because it’s not on Fox News or CNN.” (Source: NEWSARAMA)

100% of the proceeds from this book go directly to the Salvation Army to aid their ongoing hurricane relief efforts. If you’d like to help, you can order copies of this book online at Community Comics’ site and at Silver Bullet Comics, or through your local retailer. (To find your nearest comic book retail location, just use my “Find a Comic Shop” sidebar search or call 1-888-COMIC BOOK.)

“Did dinosaurs really become extinct millions of years before the existence of humans?”

Jordan had the “companion book” to this film years ago—in fact, he may still have it today. (I never realized it was “just” a companion book, though!) I remember being rather surprised that no one else seemed to consider that there might be more than a kernel of truth within the plethora of “dragon myths” around the world. Check out the 20-minute video presentation they’ve got online before you write ‘em off.

Perhaps, as that great philosopher Weird Al once said, “everything you know is wrong!”

I think I’ll start posting regular reminders here: you can keep up with the latest Disney Comics offerings from Gemstone at a Squidoo lens I’ve set up. It includes details on each book’s contents, as well as links to reviews and a number of ways to get the books in your hands!
