Note: Pibgorn goes [bamf!] (but not for good)

One thing I enjoy most mornings are the cartoons of Brooke McEldowney, 9 Chickweed Lane and Pibgorn. So I was disconcerted to discover this morning that United Media had removed the latter from its list of offerings. For a while the only information I could discover was a brief note in McEldowney's Wikipedia entry that said, "On April 18, 2007, Comics.com discontinued Pibgorn at the artist's request." Uh-oh. But light dawned in this post over on 9chickweedlane: Pibgorn will not be going the way of the dodo; McEldowney is currently searching for a new home for it, having parted ways with United Media on his own initiative. Phew. Now I'm just waiting for word on when the dead-tree edition of Pibgorn's "Midsummer Night's Dream" arc will hit the shelves ...

Fanfiction: Jackdaw (Princess Tutu)

Title: Drabble: Jackdaw
Fandom: Princess Tutu (anime version)
Character: Autor
Pairing(s): None
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Warnings: None.
A/N: Yet another Princess Tutu drabble: I wasn't expecting Autor to jog my elbow, but he did, at once entrancing and horrifying me with visions of old books recycled to bind new ones. I think him a jackdaw; he considers himself a scholar. We compromised on slightly demented antiquarian. Crossposted from nebroadwe to princesstutu and tutufic.
Dedication: Still for fmanalyst.
