Congrats, Non Sequitur - Ten years with Universal Uclick!

Congratulations and thanks for ten fantastic years of Lucy, Danae, Obviousman, Pierre of the North, the Extraordinary Basil, Homer, sandwich board signs, Last Words Cemetery and more!

Non Sequitur is Wiley Miller's wry look at the absurdities of everyday life. A hit with fans of all ages, the strip is syndicated in more than 700 newspapers. Non Sequitur has received four National Cartoonists Society divisional awards, the most prestigious in cartooning. It is the only comic strip to win the coveted award in its first year of syndication and the only one to ever win in both the best comic strip and best comic panel categories.

Fanciful Reading

Looking for something fantastic and fantastical to read?

May I suggest The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making? It's a web-only story by Catherynne M. Valente, donation-model, and it just won the CultureGeek Award for Best Web Fiction of the Decade.

It's quite good. I think you might like it.
