* Vaya con Dios to Graeme McMillan, the trailblazing comicsblogger who’s saying goodbye to his gig at io9. Good writer, good people.

* Recently on Robot 6:

* Da Mystery of O.M.I.T.;

* Alien vs. Pooh;

* and tons and tons of Lost art and comics.

* Now that I’ve finally gotten around to watching it, I agree with everyone who told me how fascinating this BBC roundtable on Joe Sacco’s Footnotes in Gaza is. First of all, I didn’t know Sacco had that accent. Secondly, it’s good to see someone object to Sacco’s standard, subjective, “here’s the side of the story with which I sympathize” take on things without obviously sharing the agenda of the other side. Finally, apparently in the U.K. you can be an elected official and not feel obligated to act stupid and talk at a third-grade level to the people who voted for you. I await a world where American congresspeople use phrases like “filmic immediacy” in a televised discussion of a comic book with the same fervor of Teabaggers anticipating the Rapture. (Via Boots.)

* Chris Evans is Captain America. Okay, sure.

* Nothing really leapt out at me from Whitney Matheson’s weekly plumbing of the Lost commentariat hivemind, but maybe you’ll feel differently. I also recommend taking one last plunge into last week’s Lost thoughts comment thread here at ADDTF before tonight’s goes up.

* For her birthday, I got the Missus tickets to see her favorite choral composer (and mine), Eric Whitacre, conduct a program of his work–e.e. cummings adpatations specifically–at Carnegie Hall in April. So I’m pretty thrilled to see this video of his song “Lux Aurumque,” performed by a “virtual choir” of 185 singers who filmed their separate contributions with their own webcams, go viral. Damn it all, listen to how beautiful this is:

* Beautiful woman on magic horse: Olivia Munn or Alison Goldfrapp–who wore it best?
