We’ve been meaning to post this, but it kept slipping my mind in the rush to get some news up here. Anyway, as many of you know, author Douglas Adams passed away this past weekend at the age of 49. Adams is most famous for his “Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” series of books, which influenced countless other books, movies, and computer games that followed it over the years. In fact, I became familar with Adams’ work while playing the classic Infocom text game on my Commodore 64 many, many years ago (Now I feel old). Play it free of charge online HERE by the way, if you like. You may also recall that Kevin listed Adams in his “Thanks” section of the Dogma credits. Adams himself had been attempting to get the Hitchhiker’s Guide motion picture made over the years. Hopefully this will still happen but without his influence, it just won’t be the same. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Mr. Adams. So Long, and Thanks for all the Laughs.

Yep, it’s Monday morning, you know what that means! Three new exclusive pics straight from the set of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. First comes a pose that we’re surprised isn’t popping up all over the promotional circuits, Jay & Bob certainly speak for themselves in that pose. Then there’s another neat shot of the Mooby’s exterior, done by Ratface and crew. Those 2 shots come to us courtesy of DP Jamie Anderson. Finally, yet another of the Mosier classics, a great shot of Kev. Enjoy these, and we’ll of course see you back here with more great shots next week!

Due to the traffic on the site last week, we were just plain unable to post these puppies as promised, so here they are just a little bit late. Three more sketches, courtesy of artist Mike Oeming, of the upcoming Bluntman & Chronic graphic novel this summer. Click the thumbnails for full shots of these, the first they’re seen on the web!
