His fantastic set of Star Wars images on Flickr is gone . It’s not too surprising, with the collection’s latest burst of popularity, that he got a C&D, but it’s still a big loss for the fandom. In his entry addressing the situation, he’s pretty brutal on Lucasfilm and StarWars.com, and I can’t entirely blame him: Anyway, the take-down is a fair legal move as it we......

Today is the big day: Thanksgiving Day. We all gorge ourselves on unusual food, lounge around on the couch, then gorge ourselves again. Is there any holiday that’s anymore quintessentially American than Thanksgiving? It’s all about gluttony and family, which are two great tastes that taste great together. Thanksgiving is a great holiday for science fiction and fantasy fans too, as......

It could be that he’s just been around that long. Either way, I thought it would be entertaining to draw Stephen Downes as Yoda . When asked when the rest of the cast might be, I responded wi......
