Foxtrot to Sundays

I just read this Universal Press Syndicate: News Release and I am saddened to see him in semi-retirement. I have been a Foxtrot fan since the comic began. I have many of the collections (about 10 or 15 not sure) and really love Amend’s work. I coud really identify with the characters and enjoy the hijinks of the family. The Foxes have been a wonderful addition to the history of comic strips. I wish Bill Amend well in his future endeavors.

Serenity

A movie made for and because of the fans of Firefly. I saw this movie twice in the theatre and once on DVD, so far. It is the follow/wrap up of the storylines of the television show Firefly. Firefly followed the lives of a rag tag band of misfits who were dreamers, runaways, hardened war veterans and religious. The story recaps part of the series and attempts to get you up to speed with the characters, however you really needed to have watched the firefly series to really be a full part of the experience. The action was bigger and the special effects better and the dialogue was pure Joss (which means most cool). The enemies were more real and the biggest mysteries of the TV show were revealed. I wish this show had not been taken off the air.
