Beau Knows, But The Newsroom Doesn’t

There’s an interesting news story about Beau Smith, he’s a comic book writer I remember from his days at Eclipse Comics. Smith’s Beau LaDuke character was quite the redneck riot in Tim Truman’s Scout. Anyway, station WSAZ did a nice little profile on Smith and what he’s been up too with his career, but what really caught my attention were the patronizing comments the anchors use about Comic Books when they introduced the story. See Here (video on right side, has a commercial first)

Hey, comics aren’t just for the Kiddies anymore…

Perhaps you remember soap box derby from the Cub Scouts when you were a kid. Well, it turns out that the GAME of racing cars is a whole new world that even intrigues some adults. Some NASCAR drivers are treated like rock stars for racing what is now known as Stock Cars...

The Daytona 500 drew grown up racing fans from around our region to watch these grown ups play a kids game.

Next, on Aren't We Superior TV, a story about how those cute toy trains have become entire transit systems in larger cities of America.
