Happy Ash Wednesday!
Month: February 2013
Happy Pancake Day!
Or if you prefer, happy Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, or good old fashioned Mardi Gras!
As you may know, today is also known as Pancake Tuesday, held on the day preceding Ash Wednesday because pancakes were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.
And so, we reprint the most famous pancake story in comics, featuring Mike Mignola’s Hellboy!

Monday Mix-Up: John Byrne’s X-Men and… Popeye?
Via Chris Ryall at IDW Publishing, we have this drawing by John Byrne, featuring Popeye and an Uncanny X-team, too.
C’mon, you never once looked at those forearms and thought to yourself, “Stinkin’ mutie”? With forearms that big, to heck with retractable claws– he could have a whole retractable wolverine in there. Nevertheless, this is not how I imagined Byrne returning to the X-Men.
Colors by Leonard O’Grady.
