Comix -- Buy 'Em and Help Nourish and Protect 'Em (v 1.1)
While ago on this blog, I was moved to mention Jen Breeden's webcomic, The Devil's Panties [Not porn! Not Satanic! Shucks!] and say how great it was.
It still is.
But now there's a second collection of the strip coming out, and you need to pre-order it.
"What?!?" say you, "A second collection, forsooth, an' i have not the first such on my shelves?"
Senator, i'm glad you asked me that. If you click Right Here, you can order Vol. 1. (Or, for that matter, at this address, you can order a Geebas on Parade collection.)
Armed with that info, you should go to your local comics shop and order a copy. (Don't know where your local comic shop is? (Or if you even have a local comic shop?) Use the Comic Shop Locator. Always patronise your local comic shop.
And, if you really don't have a local comic shop, or the one you do have is like the one on The Simpsons, then i suppose you'll have to online-order The Devil's Panties here.
But you really ought to support your local comic shop (if you have one) because, in many ways, the fact that the good comics shops are out there, getting by on a smile and a shoeshine, promoting things and making sure that the Good Stuff gets noticed, is the only thing that's keeping a lot of comics and comics-related stuff going.

And while you're doing all that stuff, head over to the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund's website, and find out about the never-ending struggle to protect comics and comic pulishers and 
writers/artists from over-zealous, bigoted or downright stupid would-be book-burners,
The CBLDF is a worthy cause.
They have all sorts of interesting fund-raising promotional material that you flat can't get anywhere else; not only do you get Reely Neet Stuff, but you help fight for the rights of people like Gordon Lee, the North Georgia comic shop owner facing some serious charges for ludicrous reasons. (A slightly more recent press release at the CBLDF site covers some somewhat encouraging developments in the Lee case.)
