Links-Links-Links

Each and every day (more or less) one can find me over at ITCH headquarters early in the morning linking to a handful of cool comics site postings. It occurred to me that over here at my own home base it's been quite awhile since we recommended any links. Lots of new, nifty stuff out there during that time. Here's just ten for a start. Visit some of these and see for yourselves.

ALPHAVILLE is a heady mix of atheistic humor and humanistic commentary from a guy named after the lead character in the surreal cult sci-fi film from which the blog takes its name.

At VINNIE RATTOLLE'S RECORDS you'll find music and TV stuff, mostly from the seventies and late sixties. Some you can read, some you can read about, some you can download and watch or read.
