Just to clear the air…Apparently, that special guest that Kevin said might have shown up at the Stash Gala was none other than Linda Fiorentino, who was due in town late that day for the Dogma reshoots that Kev spoke of. We suppose she just couldn’t make it in on time.
It’s been confirmed…Kevin will indeed appear at The Wondercon ALL THREE DAYS at the View Askew booth! This should give all of you plenty of time to meet the guy and get some signatures if that’s your thing. In addition, he’ll have a panel on his comic book writing on Saturday the 17th as well as a panel on his movies on Sunday the 18th. Don’t miss your chance, this sounds like a fantastic event.
Something we missed from last week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly…In a cartoon by Barry Blitt (page 24), “Jerry Falwell Widens His Net” and outs more gay characters, including Peppermint Patty and Woody Woodpecker. Making the list is Jughead, with Falwell commenting, “He’s not fooling anyone.” Looks like Banky IS in denial.

Finally today, an Askew reference appears during a story called “Argosy Smith and Theremin vs. Mainstream,” part of the Small Press Expo ’98 anthology book. The two main characters are looking at a line of somewhat strange looking comic-creators. Here’s the scan.
