I Miss Lying In The Gutters

Monday June 29, 2009
Every Monday, around 3pm west coast time, Lying In The Gutters would appear over at CBR. I looked forward to that column each and every week. Rich Johnston did a very different job than mine, being one focused on rumors, gossip, and speculation, while mine is to inform and advise. I never wanted to compete with Rich, I doubt if I even could, so it was always great to read and get a different viewpoint into comics than the one I was used to.

I was glad to hear that Rich started his own site, especially hearing of his difficult job situation, and have been following the new incarnation of Gutters via Bleedingcool.com. The one thing I miss though is that Monday article full of gossip, rumors, and speculation. We get that dripped out to us through the week, but I miss that big buffet of red, yellow, and green lights. It filled my gullet satisfyingly and while I like the new site, I really enjoyed that long form article, not each part of the article being its own post. Oh well, times change and we need to change with them. It looks like Rich is doing well. With over 1000 forum members and climbing, Bleedingcool.com looks to have a long life on the web.
