Hey. Hey! Are you tired of wishing there were fun, original, independent graphic novels you could give your stupid kids? You know, graphic novels that could teach them to appreciate something other than bending over and sniffing their own butts all day? Something like WORDS? Or FINE ART?
Of course you are.
Good news, folks. Friend of Amateur Scientist Industries (F.A.S.I.) Jason Byron Nelson has just such a graphic novel in internet stores. I know, right? It’s called Broken Dreams, and it’s about a stupid kid just like your own who breaks the very dream he intended to bring to show and tell.
Friends, I have seen this book with my own eyes. That’s just how confident I am that you’ll enjoy it. I don’t look at anything unless there’s at least a 70% chance I’ll fall in love with it. This is why most of my life is so, so lonely and dark.
Oh, and go visit Jason’s blog. His work has graced the Sprite-filled chest of one Cee Lo Green, so you know it’s good.
Love,
Brian

The Amateur Scientist
Episode 150 - Blossom
In which love is pondered, Judaism is sought, penis blood is drawn, a rabbi is consulted, badasses are celebrated, Neal Pollack appears, golems are discussed, John Safran is called, and Blossom returns. 150!

Please to join us here at AmateurScientist.org as the celebrity panelists from our hit podcast The Death Panel gather to liveblog the Fox News GOP presidential candidates’ debate this Thursday, December 15th at 9pm EST.
Now, what is a liveblog? It’s like a regular blog, but it respirates, reproduces, and sometimes wears clothing. Cancel all your plans and WATCH IT. You’ll be watching the debate anyway, right? Of course. You’re no civics dummy. Why not due so while interacting with your favorite podcasters? THERE’S NO REASON NOT TO.
