I'd have loved to hear the interviewer ask: "What do you think about the fact that we're going to blur out the images of the Danish cartoons when this is aired? Do you think we are spineless, unwilling to stand up for free expression, or just total wimps?"From the CBC website:He's the only artist/illustrator to ever win the Pulitzer Prize. But why does Art Spiegelman think Canada is so uptight?

The utter convenience and invisible cost of letting Google take over Lucky's online affairs is becoming increasingly difficult to not embrace. Blog much easier to update. Up to date is good, especially with monthly gallery shows and new products arriving several times a week. Yep, it will be done.Captain Lucky

Thanks to Daniel Spriensma of Langara's student newspaper The Voice for the best and first such feature article mostly about Lucky's. I'm so glad Owen Plummer's picture, not mine, was used in print, and appreciate that he focused on what makes Lucky's unique.

There's so much exciting stuff happening locally, Lucky's has decided to jump back into the music game. We cut back after a couple of unfortunate break-ins several years ago, and have recently only had a limited quantity of vinyl LPs in stock. Well, starting last week we'll be building up our compact disc and LP inventory, focusing on but not limited to many of the excellent Canadian and local

I somehow feel compelled to explain why we have so many items listed in our eBay store and not yet on our website. It's simply a matter of reaching more potential customers. Something our in-town customers may find annoying, or not, is that we don't offer the same discounts in store that we do online. Online discounts are meant as a way to offset shipping costs for the customer, and are essential

We received a limited supply of Big Questions #3, 4 and 5 from Mr. Nilsen in Chicago. He has reprinted these issues himself and made them available to his reverential public. Exciting. Wonderful news.At this time Anders is not reprinting #6 because of the difficulty of recreating a centerfold inset.Copies of #3, 4 and 5 will be $5.00 U.S., $6.00 Canadian.

In case you missed it, and in case you care, check out this list of Time Magazine's top 10 graphic novels of 2005. Agree, disagree, whatever, they're all available at Lucky's.Tom Spurgeon's list of the top 50 comics of 2005 is five times more interesting to read though. About 80% of these are available at Lucky's now, and any of them can be special ordered.

Big changes are afoot, big changes I tell ya. We're trying hard to upgrade, update and generally spice up the website and add more content. Look for backlogs of great gallery pics to come online soon, and we'll be expanding the selections in our Ebay store as well.

Lucky's gallery is displaying six beauty Matt Moroz silkscreens until November 5. Check them out while you can. Here's the cover art Matt did for the hot-selling new Wolf Parade album "Apologies to Queen Mary". Matt's art and the Wolf Parade album are both highly recommended. We have a few copies left of a collaborative silkscreen print by Matt Moroz, Luke Ramsay, and Chloe Cum - just $20 each.

Dang things be cropping up everywhere, spreading like some kind of dirty plague…but a good dirty plague, one that makes you feel like the opposite of what you’d feel like if you were all suffering from some kind of bad ailment. They mollify, edify, enlighten, and educate. They don’t perpetrate, procrastinate, hesitate or get irate. Word to the bird, this shiznit

There's a poll on our forum about the best comic movie ever made. Choosing my top eight was relatively easy, I didn't give it a whole lot of thought and the only semi-difficult decision I had to make was between Hellboy and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Let me know what you think my glaring oversights were, I feel like I've missed something huge and obvious. I'd have to say my first thoughts
