Review of the Day: Apocalypse Taco by Nathan Hale

Apocalypse Taco is a wholly new creation in more ways than one. It opens the door for more kid-friendly horror. I mean, it’s got everything! Tooth monsters. School lockers full of goo. Brigadoon. You name it!

Comics Squad: Lunch – Now With More Pearl Harbor! A Nathan Hale Interview

January 5, 2016 by Betsy Bird

I like my comics like I like my men. Chock full of lunch and Pearl Harbor references. Hm? That didn’t make sense? Maybe not, but if nonsense is pouring out of my mouth then I believe it may have something to do with the excitement I feel about today’s guest. If the term “Nathan Hale’s […]

Video Sunday: The Lord of the Jello

May 24, 2015 by Betsy Bird

Morning, folks.  What’s that?  Why, yes. Yes, I would like to watch this video about Nathan Hale’s newest GN The Underground Abductor. Thank you!

Fusenews: Private jet, please

June 21, 2014 by Betsy Bird

First up, my little sister.  My daughter recently had her third birthday so my sis came up with a craft involving what she calls Do It Yourself Cupcakes. Each cupcake sported a teeny tiny cover of one of my child’s favorite books.  Then we took them to her daycare where she delightedly set about pointing […]

You thought you got good stuff for Christmas? Beat this!

December 27, 2013 by Betsy Bird

Well, the Bird family had a lovely Christmas down in old Atlanta, GA.  We didn’t lose any offspring either going there or back again, so I consider that a win.  And the presents!  Whether it was the Matilda soundtrack (yes, I’m a million years old and still request CDs as presents) or the collected Pogo […]
