Good News for Cappy Fans!

Cappy fans, who have been holding candelight vigils across the country for several weeks, may soon have cause to breathe a sigh of relief. A frozen, marred and disfigured corpse of indeterminate sexuality was recently discovered in the arctic tundra. Since this description fits Cappy to a "T," authorities were notified immediately.
Upon a brief inspection, it was discovered that the corpse was carrying a small digital device, recorded upon which were several 'journal entries' by a man who referred to himself as....CAPPY!
The recordings were nearly inaudible, but a crack team of specialists are working 'round the clock (except from 4:30 to 6 p.m.) to recover the materials. Representatives from the Comic Book Haters organization declined to comment on the particulars of the transaction, though analysts estimate a three-figure deal was struck.

Journey to the land filled with magical greens, where strange imps run to and fro and the beer flows endlessly. No, it's not Ireland we speak of; it's the Funnybook Dungeon!

Schooly G to Leave CBH for Pulpier Pastures?

INTERNET, Atlantic City - Schooly G, one half of the venerable "Comic Book Haters" podcast, has recently been elevated to B-List celebrity status. G will be featured in an upcoming issue of Image Comics' popular "Bomb Queen" series, currently solicited in this month's PREVIEWS catalog.

In BOMB QUEEN #4, G portrays 'Angry Thug #3,' a role he claims was tailor made for his particular talents. "I've been turning down a lot of offers, just waiting around for the 'right' series," admits the usually taciturn Schooly G. "I read a lot of scripts, but nothing really stuck out too much. This character, though, really spoke to me."

So how will this affect the future of the Comic Book Haters? According to G, he doesn't have any plans to leave the podcast. At least, not yet: "I've got some ideas for the title which I'm going to run by [Bomb Queen Creator] Jimmy Robinson. Quite frankly, the character has gotten a little stale, so I'm hoping I can liven things up a bit."

According to CBH co-host DJ Sloofus, the rose-colored glasses may not be giving off quite the correct hue. "Fuck him," he revealed, "As a matter of fact, lots of people have been getting sick of him around CBH central. Plus, once we find Cappy (if he's still alive), we won't even need Schooly anymore. I think I might also give MC Trekkie a call."

Interested parties can pre-order Bomb Queen #4 from their local funnybook shop, or through the Discount Comic Book Service. Visit series creator Jimmy Robinson at this address.

Much like the solemn 'Decade of Silence' which followed the ending of World War II, the New York Comic-Con has been marred by an eerie quietness.

DJ Sloofus is one such survivor, and in this episode he sits down with Schooly G and the venerable Groove Machine to relive this traumatic experience.
