swineflu and free comic book day

So, I don't recommend getting majorly sick, seemingly out of nowhere, while we're getting hit over the head all week with news of the impending swineflu pandemic. It happened to me, and I rarely get sick. So, my mind was definitely playing tricks on me until last night when I started feeling better.

I'm still recuperating, so I'm totally missing out on Free Comic Book Day, which is always the first Sunday of every May.

Also, since FCBD's inception, the first Friday of May saw the major comic book movie (usually from Marvel). What irked me about this was the worldwide event of FCBD is never mentioned, or advertised by these movies. I realize that the film industry is far removed from the comic book industry, but still, you'd think they'd both benefit from some cross promotion.

This month X-men Origins: Wolverine ushered in the official start of the summer movie season. Would it have been to tasking to get Hugh Jackman to do a 30 second PSA, telling every kid in the theatre on Friday night to hit up their local comic book store to get some FREE comics?

Anyway... I'm attempting to get the next episode of my web comic KISSING CHAOS: 'TIL I DIE online by May 7^th, just in time for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I'm doing something really special for the next update, so I wouldn't hold your breath... but if I am late, I guarantee, this update will be worth it... maybe.

Pace
