Why comics and guitars are the opposite of politics.

I love guitars and I love comics, and right now, it's the epicentre of the news season for both. The two biggest trade shows for the two industries are, by some wacky coincidence, going on simultaneously: NAMM and SDCC. As such, there's plenty of stories leaking out from each catching my eye. Like this and this. Mmm, sparkly purple.

That said, Newsarama's Steve Fritz has given Doctor Who's history in the comics quite a mangling there. Eh, whaddyeh expect?

mmmm. is it old age or am i just getting understand that gibson and gretsch aren't the only banjo makers in the world.

thinking of trading the sg in by the way. thinking of going for a semi - 335 or seraton or clone, or a gretsch clone, the eastwood semis look nice and wouldn't mind seeing what the italias are like either.

Gretxch actually have a range of cheapies these days, Electromatics, a la Epiphone. They're pretty cool looking. And unlike Epiphones, they say "Gretsch" on the headstock.
