One of the coolest things about the web is also one of the most insidious qualities it has. Links that spring out leading you to suprising resources you might never have found if someone else had not stuck it out there for you to stumble across. Now I know this is not a ground breaking realization or anything. However once in a while you hit a link and say, “Damn I wish I had known about this before”.

I read Penny Arcade regularly. The comic is decent to good and the blog is usually better than that. Today I was dumbfounded that Tycho had not fully consumed Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories. Heck I was a little suprised he even admitted it. Oh well, all the better for me because in this confession was a link to Graphic Novel Review. Specifically a review of Conan: Tower of the Elephant (And Other Stories)

Good review and tasty links to waste more of your time on. The blog itself seems very nice and the reviews are board spectrum as far as graphic novels covered. Looks like I’ll add it to my list of regular reads.

While talking about links, finding new info and the time it wastes. We must always hit Wikipedia for the ultimate in sidetracking ones self.
