    Sports fans are awesome.
    This is from the comments section of a NY post story about the Yankees.

    White Penus

    "Derek's dreaming of a white penus,
    Just like the ones he used to blow.
    With a sweet, pink glisten,
    Even when its pizz'in
    Its sends a tingle through his throat.

    Derek's dreaming of a white penus,
    A curvy blue vein hard delight,
    Jeter's gay and he's horny, that's right,
    And he'd love one inside of him Christmas night."

    Notice how this author cleverly substituted letters so that forbidden words wouldn't be caught by the site's software. Some day I will write about sports. I have a lot to say about this.

    And no, I did not write this idiotic poem about Derek Jeter.

    Dean Haspiel's STREET CODE returns!
    Today marks the holiday return of STREET CODE, my semi-autobio webcomic at Zuda, featuring the 4pp story "Snow Dope."

    If you're new to STREET CODE, please take the time to read season one from last year. Otherwise, veterans of STREET CODE can skip to pages 61-64 and read the latest tale.

    Thank you and enjoy!

    Graphic NYC: Seth's Top Books of 2009 - recommends THE ACT-I-VATE PRIMER
    http://www.nycgraphicnovelists.com/2009/12/graphically-speaking-seths-top-books-of.html


    The ACT-I-VATE Primer by Haspiel, Bertozzi, Cavallaro, Fraser, etc.

    A handsomely produced anthology by a mixture of top creators and newcomers, all showcasing their creations from the webcomix site in new stories. Just flipping through one can’t help but notice the variety of work and styles contained between it’s well designed covers. If you can’t find something that appeals to you in The ACT-I-VATE Primer, you probably don’t like comics.

    Frank Quitely recommends ACT-I-VATE at TCJ.com
    Excerpt:

    Gibbons:
    I must say, aesthetically speaking, all I’ve ever done and all I’ve ever wanted to do is comics. Any kind of painting I’ve done, I’ve had to teach myself as I’ve gone along. My creative thoughts always go toward telling stories and I think, for the future, as you mentioned, there are some really interesting ways of doing this online and it also means now that, as an artist, you can get your work out there at very little cost. So, I find that, like you, a really fascinating path to pursue.

    Quitely:
    I’ve actually been looking at a few webcomics the past year or so. There’s a few I’ve been following on a site called Act-I-Vate, and Transition X. Cameron Stewart, he’s got a great one too, Dan Goldman and Dean Haspiel have done some lovely work recently. Karl Kerschl’s one I actually just discovered a couple of days ago. I know his work through American superhero comics and he’s really good, he does some great action sequences, blah, blah, blah… and then I saw the stuff that he was doing in his own webcomic and it’s just phenomenal. It’s not to take away from what he does professionally ­ up until recently, that’s all I had seen and I had a very high opinion of his work ­ quite apart from what we’re saying about aesthetics, the ease and cheapness with which people can actually put out their own material means that a lot of people are putting out work that’s quite personal ­ whether it’s their own world view or characters that they always draw in their sketchbooks even though they didn’t have an outlet for them before or autobiographical stuff. It’s kind of like the best of what I like about small press and self-publishing. That feeling that you’re actually reading somebody’s diary: You feel a real contact that I don’t usually feel in mainstream comics. So, I think that’s really exciting too.
