I don’t know how I missed it, but lawyer Stephen Lee has a site called Footnote Comics, whereby comics are annotated with historical and legal background. An entry for Y: The Last Man offers an overview of how a court would deal with a character killing another one and the morning after pill. There’s also Footnote TV and offers exhaustive annotations on Fahrenheit 9/11.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t observe that the Cinetrix is providing some stellar coverage of the Full Frame Documentary Full Festival.

For those who love movies and San Francisco, the Balboa Theatre is holding the Reel San Francisco between April 16 and May 11. Everything from Bullitt to Don Siegel’s underrated The Lineup (featuring a fantastic showdown at Sutro Baths with one of the most menacing deliveries of “You’re dead” seen in a noir) to Greed is playing over the next month — with appearances by several local regulars.

I hate announcing this kind of picayune shit, but between a major transition and several other things I have to finish up, nearly all of my time is acounted for until Sunday’s fateful Tanenhaus Brownie Watch.

So feel free to visit some of the fine sites on the left. Meanwhile, up the pipeline:

• My thoughts on the new Nine Inch Nails album.
• At least two more installments of The Neurotic Chronicles (with ambience and sound effects!). Follow our narrator and Wilson as they obtain their pho and continue their journey across the American wasteland.
• More reworking in of the redesign.
• Something involving Charles Dickens.

• Finally, an award not won by Andrea Levy. Katharine Davies, first-time novelist and ex-teacher, has won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award for A Good Voyage, a title which suggests little in the way of surprises, too much in the way of pleasantries, and that has nothing to do with Virginia Woolf’s first novel.
• While the United States is busy with red-blue and purple maps, the UK is more concerned with such valuable information as the most expensive streets and towns in England and Wales. The winner is London’s Earls Terrace, located in Chelsea with an average price of 4.2 million pounds.
• The LBC nabs more momentum through the Associated Press.
• Poet Julia Darling has died of cancer.
• David Kipen takes on Ishiguro.
• Unintentionally sexual comic book covers.
