Tom Brazelton’s donation drive kicks off today, with a variety of worthwhile stuff up for grabs (although his current ads seem to believe I’m looking for a wife from India; weirdly, this is not the first time in my life somebody has made this assumption about me).

• Oh Holy Assmaster, this is awesome — Ursula Vernon’s kids book, Nurk, has made the reading list of The Most Perfect Human In Existence.
• New how-to videos: Kellet, Malki !, Jacques (last one requires an account).
• Otakon photos courtesy of erstwhile contributor Jeff Lowery REY: the Applegeeks guys, the hardest working woman in webcomics, and something seriously freaky.
• Check it: Dr McNinja becomes Dr McColor courtesy of Carly Monardo (she really needs to stop doing so much cool stuff in such a short period of time before people start to think I have a crush on her) (I totally do). On a related note, Ms Monardo is the better half of McNinja creator Chris Hastings, which leads to something I have to get off my chest now: Much like when my sister started dating a mechanic after high school that my whole family came to rely on, Chris is not ever allowed to break up with Carly, because she is too valuable to the rest of us. Seriously, even if supermodels start hitting on you, you have to say ‘no’, dude, or the internet will kick your ass. On a second related note, I’m not sure I needed see said ass, but there you go.
• Oh, yeah, and it appears there’s a new slot on your newspaper’s comics page. Hooray! More room for Mary Worth!
