Happy Anniversary to Baker Street Elementary!

Baker Street Elementary, a webcomic featuring schoolboy Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and often their troublemaking friend Stamford, last month celebrated its tenth anniversary. The strip is written by Joe Fay and Steve Mason and illustrated by Rusty Mason. Congratulations, folks! It’s in the minimalist style, with primarily head shots of the young characters, distinguished by their hats. The dialogue drives the humor, with plenty of Sherlockian references. And I was honored to write the introduction to last year’s collection, Year [...]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is exactly what a sequel should be, in spite of the 36-year gap since the original film was released in 1988.
