I wonder...

How many is an "unsavory number" of khaki shorts? This question brought to you by today's Chickweed Lane.

In another part of online comic land, I note with sorrow that "For Better or For Worse" will cease web syndication on September 1. And, no, it's really not worth subscribing to The Sentinel for...

As kinzel mentions elsewhere, the hardcover edition of Liaden Universe Companion, Volume One has sold out. Subscriptions for the softcover edition remain open. Many thanks to all the subscribers who are helping/have helped make this book a reality; we couldn't have done it without you.

A question for the group mind: We've been watching some anime now that we have Netflix. Specifically we've seen all available episodes of Fruits Basket, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service. I noticed that in each of these stories, there is one character who either is an American or who has a great many American characteristics -- in all three cases, this character is a young woman who takes a kindly interest in the heroine. Granted, my sample here is not large, but I wonder if this character is a staple of the form?

Back to work, me...
