It's a remaindered 2-for-1 release of the first two ZNJ novels, for those of us who wonder if all of that stuff might play better in prose ("futuristic pulp for the thinking reader"--SF Site). Hell, I've dropped more money on sketchier propositions, and since it was sitting on a shelf with a parade of Christian romance novels involving Amish girls (and also Stephenie Meyer's The Host), odds are I could've gone much worse tonight, too.

I'm sure Ancient Egypt had a lot of traffic from all over.

The predecessors of the Vikings surely got around. And would have been just as Egyptian as Cleopatra was if they set up shop in Egypt anywhere near the time period the Ptolemaics ruled. (Remember: Cleopatra lived closer to the Moon landings than she did to the Old Kingdom and most of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt when the pyramids were constructed and Egyptian culture was established.) There was enough interchange between Greece and India by the time Jesus was born that there are still lots of interesting bits around like Buddhist philosophy inspiring Greek philosophers and Asian monuments to Hercules.

Also just because it's a fun fact: We know that Vikings had lots of interactions with Africans on the coasts near the Ghanan Empire. The Vikings referred to the Africans as 'corpse men' because their dark skin was seen as being similar to the blue-black that corpses turned. The Africans referred to the Vikings as 'flayed men' because they saw their pale skin as making them look like their skin had been removed entirely, leaving the white connective tissue beneath.

Cat's don't do that, dogs do. This made me think, though, has Brooke totally done away with Solange in the current strip? When he does his "Hallmarks of Kittenity", or whatever, it's always a big Tabby hanging around. Unless the kitten is Solange or something.

Chelle found Rachel, the woman for whom Virginia (Chelle's mother) named her. Since this is Jane's World, I'm going to assume that Rachel and Virginia were in a relationship at some point and then split up.

I'd find it intensely uncomfortable to name one's child for one's ex, particularly if the ex and the child were of the same gender.

Bobby London sat down with Comic Book Resources to talk about the new collection of his work on Popeye. He viewed himself as fighting for the soul of Segar...which is a doomed mindset to have when the syndicate is telling you to draw them like Popeye and Son.

CBR posted:

The last batch of strips that were never published and people are seeing here for the first time, you wrap up "Witch Hunt" and ending like you did with Jeep saying goodbye, did you know that would be your last strip?

Well, sure. Of course. I had already been dismissed, and they said you have four more weeks to fill out, so I knew they would be my last strips. I wrapped up the Roe v. Wade story as best as I could according to my original outline and said my goodbyes. Those strips were flatly rejected, and they've been sitting in my files ever since.

I'm sorry. They fired you -- publicly -- and then said you're still under contract for four more weeks of strips?

Yes. They fired me and said, oh by the way, you have four more weeks of your contract to fill out, and you're gonna do these strips whether you like or not.

[Laughs] And then they rejected those strips, which they made you draw.

Yes, Kafka-esque, ain't it? I said, so what? You already fired me! What are you going to do, fire me again? [Laughs]

I'm laughing because it's a different experience from most of us who have been fired or laid off.

I've been through worse. At least it makes for a very nice book.

Not really. There was a big buildup to Rosa's uncle needing help in his clinic but it turned out the clinic was a plastic surgery clinic and he needed people to help staff its call center (Why does it have one? Who knows.)

Rosa was bummed because it wasn't real volunteer work, Gunther was pleased because it was more comfortable than he expected.

Apparently neither of these facts matters now because he must STOP his mother from fraternizing with that horrible MAN.
