Dammit, I don’t care if it kills me. I’m getting this done.
So last week, after 14 years of on-and-off effort, Axl Rose finally released the new Guns N’ Roses album, Chinese Democracy. I’ve listened to it, and I’m ready to give my verdict.
The first question most will ask is, “Was it worth the wait?” I’m [...]

I basically haven’t had time to sit and write. I assure you the review of Chinese Democracy will be done in less time than it took Axl Rose to make the album.

I’m not sure exactly when - hopefully tomorrow - but very soon, on this very site, it’ll be the day we thought we’d never see. Very soon, on this very site, I will be reviewing Chinese Democracy by Guns N’ Roses. It does exist. It is done. And I have listened to it. Stay tuned [...]

If you saw the comic I posted yesterday, you might surmise that the new Animal Crossing, subtitled City Folk, is in this house. You’d be correct. Since it seems to be the last Wii game, and Animal Crossing is awesome, we had to have it.
Kat spent the day leading up to its release reading tales [...]

Man, I don’t know.
More witty commentary, along with a comic drawn by someone talented, tomorrow.

It’s not always easy being a guy who writes hateful reviews of newspaper comics. Sometimes you find yourself in odd positions. For example, let us suppose that I had to review poop.

The other local paper, you may recall, used to run Mutts. But [...]

I had two ways I could go with this today. I shall give them both to you. Ahem.
V1.0
So I’m sure you’re all aware of the landslide victory that occurred on Tuesday. It was a big night for a certain savior/leader, and now there are some people from Arizona who are asking themselves some serious questions.
That’s [...]

This just in:
The new Guns N’ Roses single, “Chinese Democracy,” sounds like it is sung by Adam Sandler.
That is all.

I almost always like the comics I put up on BDK, but sometimes there’s one that I really like. Kat and I just collaborated to create one of those comics, and you can view it here. I really recommend you view it, too. It’s awesome.

I’d like to speak for a moment about AC/DC, if I [...]
