Today is Tom Spurgeon's birthday. Read some Little Orphan Annie or Cul de Sac, write a friend you miss, call your mom, gossip about comics with friends, get a group together for dinner, give a book you love a review, see a play, talk for hours with someone who means the world to you. Remember Tom.

Independent arts writing doesn't fund itself (trust us, we've tried), so if SOLRAD has ever introduced you to a new creator or changed how you think about a book, consider throwing a few bucks our way. Contributions of any amount help us continue doing what we love.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
