10:25 pm [dejadrew] [Link]	Mmmm...Jam.... Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my fellow canuckleheads. I hope you all enjoy your food comas. I was in the midst of mine when it occurred to me to propose a theme: FOOD WEEK. All the tasty tasty comics featuring, involving, or instructing one how to make food. How about it? For my first contribution, I offer some lovely recipes in comic form. ( A veritable cookbook in comics behind the cut. ) Tags: creator: fumi yoshinaga, creator: jill thompson, creator: k. sandra fuhr, medium: doujinshi, medium: manga, medium: webcomic, series: food week, title: friendly hostility, title: kinou nani tabeta, title: scary godmother, title: what did you eat yesterday (30 comments \| Leave a comment)

It's "a four-issue series spinning out of short stories first seen in Dark Horse's 'Book of Hauntings,' 'Book of Witchcraft,' and 'Book of the Dead' anthologies," and you can read all three of the short stories over at Dark Horse's website.

11:16 pm [dejadrew] [Link]	New Magic Trixie? When did that happen?! AAAAH! There is a new Magic Trixie book out! Why did no one tell me of this sooner? You have failed me, Internet! FAIL! I will make an emergency run in to my comic shop tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a scene from the last book, Magic Trixie Sleeps Over, so you understand how deeply important this is. (They had better have a copy left, or else... They'd just better, is all!) ( Adorable and PRETTY and pretty darn adorable. ) Tags: creator: jill thompson, title: magic trixie (18 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:39 pm [ebailey140] [Link]	Wonder Woman, Pandora, and Gaea In a couple of other threads, we discussed the potential of a conflict between Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy. They're both mystically connected to the Earth Mother. That's an aspect of Diana that hasn't been touched on in a while, so we'll revisit a story from the classic Perez run. Perez used the classic Greek myths heavily during his Wonder Woman run. One myth he used tied in so perfectly to Diana's origins one would think Marston had to have had it in mind when he created her, except... He never mentioned a connection to Pandora. Like many classic mythological figures, Pandora's stories have a lot of contradictions as the myths were modified over time. The version we're most familiar with is the woman molded from clay, gifted by the gods, and sent to Earth with a box... Or was it a jar? However, an earlier version of the Pandora myth had her a nature goddess ("Pandora" translates to "all-giving") who embodied the fertility of the Earth, the giver of fruits and grains. So, which version of the myths, in this series, was the true one? The answer, in true Perez fashion: Both. And doesn't she look very... familiar?
