ComiXologyComiXology was recently hacked.

With the Kickstarter data break-in last month and now with this comiXology security breach, it seems the independent comic creator and readers are having a rough year with keeping their information safe.

Fortunately for us it sounds like the hackers were only able to get access to usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. This means you should both change your password and be cautious of any emails you get from ComiXology trying to get you to email back personal information. If you do those two things, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Below is the email from ComiXology to readers:

I just want to come out and say it.

I’m drunk!

Drinking and Blogging

Don’t judge me, I am allowed to Drink and Blog, there is no crime in that. However, if there is a lot of spelling errors and bad grammer…. Don’t you judge me.

This evening while enjoying a few alcoholic beverages to celebrate my successful surgery (if you want to see photos, let me know in the comments below) I stumbled upon an exciting article about the Simpsons.

The Truth about the Simpsons:

The reality is, the Simpsons isn’t as good as it once was. I am not sure the reason or want to argue the fact, but it isn’t.

Any show that has been on for 25 years is going to have a hard time even with some of the best writers and producers in the industry. Maybe it is because I’m older, but the show as a whole doesn’t seem as relevant and has lost its charm.

Which is sad to say because I consider Matt Groening one of my idols. Who else has been successful in both comic industry (Life in Hell & comic versions of his animated shows) and animation (Simpsons & Futurama)? No one, that’s who.

Thoughts from Twitter:

Hayao Miyazaki's Retirement PhotoFamed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, 72, has announced his intention to retire from filmmaking.  Miyazaki, together with Isao Takahata, co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1895, the studio has two projects currently in the works an no intentions of closing their doors.  Nor are they likely to, each project takes at a minimum of 5 years and can go up to 7 years to complete.  Miyazaki’s reasons for retirement include a hesitation to commit to a project that could go into his 80s.

That sounds like a very good reason to retire!  Though fans are still unsure how to take this retirement since Miyazaki has been in a perma-state of semi-ritirement since the completion of his film ‘Princess Mononoke’ in ’97.  In a recent press conference he has said:

Miley Cyrus sexy teddy bear from vma'sMiley Cyrus is naked and crying in her newest video. I get it!

Two quick Warnings!
1: The video contains adult content.
2: This is not directly related to webcomic,
but is a lesson in branding.

It is fair to say you have probably already seen Miley Cyrus’ video of her performing “We Can’t Stop” at the 2013 VMAs.

It was the video with a parade of giant bears dancing around her while she was wearing a skimpy outfit bearing a cartoon bear while she grinded on and licked everything in sight. If not, you can watch it below.

Well, she isn’t done!

Here is her newest music video. We see Miley Cyrus Naked, crying at times, and later riding a wrecking ball.
