Carnival of souls

* Amazon’s having a huuuuuuge Lost sale. If you’ve never watched the show before, this is a great and relatively inexpensive way to catch up.

* Good gravy, this fellow Len Norris sure could draw. Just look at how the absence of gray magnetizes your eyes to those women. Yeah, the absence of gray is what does it, that’s the ticket. (Via Tom Spurgeon.)

* “No, I’m Death, pure and simple.”

* Today on Robot 6: C2E2 & Anaheim’s guest lists and Rick Veitch’s soul.
