I am a complete and total MORON of the 1st degree. A couple of months back, I fell for a dumb fake credit card scam when I really needed the dough, and now I’m paying for it… BIG TIME!

My bank account JUST got a few hundred bucks fished out by these jerks and I have to rush to my bank first thing in the morning to lock the account and try and see if I can get any of my money back before any of my OTHER bills go through and bounce. I can’t describe in words how STUPID I feel about this… In hindsight, I can’t believe I fell for this. Don’t YOU guys fall for THIS like I did. Hopefully, I can get all this worked out. DANG IT!

Hey, everyone. I just found out that one of my favorite comics, The Dreamland Chronicles by Scott Sava, has made the transition to the WEB. Actually, it’s been running online for a WHILE now, but it’s new to ME, so you all should check it out!

“Ever since he could remember, Alexander was a dreamer. Every night when he would go to sleep he would enter a world called Dreamland. Nightly he would have adventures with his very best friends, Kiwi the fairy, Paddington Rumblebottom the rock boy, and Nastajia the princess of elves. Together they would fly on winged horses, swim with mermaids, battle nightmare pirates, and chase after one eyed giants.

On his 12th birthday, while in Dreamland Alexander uncovers a lost tomb. Inside he finds a sword, and guarding it…a dragon. Before the dragon can kill him, Alexander wakes up…never to dream again.

Now…eight years later, Alexander finds a pendant that lets him travels back to the place of his childhood dreams. Rediscovering this magical world for the first time since his youth he meets his childhood friends who are also now grown up.”

I picked up the printed first issue of this and was blown away by the 3-D rendered art and fantasy designs. It’s a beautiful, fun comic you all should be reading!

To quote Walter Cronkite, “And that’s the way it was…” This was how we last say Dandy & Bernard, at the end of a Halloween gag, with Bernard bowing to his inner-geek. It’s been a while for me, and a lot has changed in my life since October. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy Dandy’s return as much as I’ve enjoyed returning myself… See you Monday.

SUPERMAN RETURNS!

Here’s my spoiler-free review of Bryan Singer’s SUPERMAN RETURNS. That movie is TOTALLY WICKED!!! If you have even the slightest glimmer of a soul that longs for glory, beauty and greatness, then it will drink up this wonderful movie! I need to see this at LEAST a couple more times in the theater, as this is as big or a big screen movie as it gets. I have no complaints, except to say that at 2 and a half hours, it’s TOO DANG SHORT!!!!

–ALSO– The complete collections of Dandy and Company are available in print at The Dandy & Company store TODAY! All FIVE exciting collections of D&C strips are available now!

The above strip was given to me as a gift by the insanely talented Andrew Kaiko. If you’re a regular reader of THIS strip, you’ll know him from his beautiful comics such as NORM AND CORY and the all new JACK MAGIC!

This snazzy strip, of course, parodies the final Calvin and Hobbes strip, twisting it perfectly for Dandy & Bernard. Enjoy, and prepare for the RETURN of DANDY & COMPANY on Monday!
