• Most of you have probably seen the Jay & Silent Bob mention yet again in the latest issue of DareDevil, but did you know that the influence is STILL spreading into other books?

In the latest issue of Simpsons Comics (#43) the back-of-issue short (featuring Poochie! — remember that episode?), the staff of Roger Meyers Jr. Productions try to find Poochie another project after his quick exit from the Itchy & Scratchy Show. All the ideas are rip-offs of other shows. There is an A-team show, an Astro-boy show and for one panel, a Clerks send up. Its called “Poochie Boochies!” and features Poochie dressed up like Jay and Silent Bob (complete with bong and stash). The note above the picture reads, “Howzabout a street-wise, neo-realist approach? Clerk-frickin-tastic!!!”

Also, the latest Preacher is out, too. In this issue, Freddy Allen, a sexual investigator, mentions getting “down on my knees like a fucking circus seal,” sounding an awful lot like Jay in “Clerks”. A nice tip of the hat to Kevin since he provided a quote for the first Preacher TPB (Gone To Texas) and wrote the introduction to the second (Until the End of the World).

• Chasing Amy is playing at the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, Colorado on Tuesday, July 20th, at 10:00 PM. It’s a 21 and over show, and they serve ALCOHOL, which should certainly mean for a fun time. Hey, bring our Amy Drinking Game Ruleswith ya and REALLY make it fun!
