• Well, we’ve gone and hit another milestone again — They’re coming faster and faster these days, and we’re damn proud of that. Thanks again to everyone for your continued amazing support, we love doing News Askew — The fact that so many of you keep coming back and have been faithful readers for so many years is the reason that this job brings us so much joy. We’ve got the absolute greatest bunch of readers out there, and View Askew fans have become known as some of the classiest (and most loyal, as those of you who heard Kevin discussing his internet “peeps” during the IFC show last night). We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for coming here to read and contribute on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. This place continues to be by and for the fans, and it’ll always be that way as long as we’re here.

Congrats to BRIAN HILL for hitting the big milestone. ELEVEN MILLION HITS. We’re checking around for a nifty prize to send him, after all, it’s not every day we celebrate another million hits at this place. Thanks again, to any of you who represented even a single hit of our last million — We’ll be looking forward to the next one!

• This online cartoon database turns out to have quite a nice little section on the Clerks Animated Series. There’s episode summaries, cast listings, and more. Might be something cool we’ll lift for the summaries that we’re currently working on revamping.
• Looks like Cafe Press got the rights to sell Buddy Christ merchandise …at least we HOPE they did…If not, we think View Askew gonna SUE somebody!
• Another one of those Meetup things is happening, this one’s for fans of Kevin’s — The website is http://kevinsmith.meetup.com. Meetup creates real-world group gatherings about anything anywhere (i.e. Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck). They’ve built a technology and a network of venues (cafes, bars, etc.) that can help any interest group easily organize local monthly meetups in over 540 cities across 31 countries.
• The new issue (February 4) of the Advocate features a quote from Kevin on the “Rants & Raves” page-it’s his line about “Chasing Amy” being a science-fiction movie from “An Evening with…”.
• Check out this little Flash animated Silent Bob that a fan created over at Newgrounds.
