Newest news: The comic book adaptation of "The Lone Gunmen" (yes, "X-Files" spin-off) that I did with the wonderfully talented Jane Espenson (a producer on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer") is on the stands nationwide. It's a fun little romp about militia folks attempting a military coup. For those of you who miss the column, the comic ends with a 2000-word essay expanding on various threads raised in the story. Even if you never saw the show, I think you'll enjoy this. As to the rest, for those who ask, yep, I'm still doing the syndicated radio commentaries, which you can still probably get in your area just by calling your favorite news or talk radio station and telling them you'd like it. If they need more info, send them to http://www.bobharris.com, and they can get info on getting a demo from there. Also, I'm still doing the voice of Sparky the penguin in Tom Tomorrow's Flash-animated "This Modern World" cartoons. We're hoping to land them on the tube one of these days. (Incidentally, Mondomedia.com is considering dropping the comic, since we haven't found a multinational corporation to sponsor us, so if you're a fan and you'd like them to keep the show, this is a good time to holler.) The game show, Twisted, is still hung up thanks to the stunning incompetence or malice (I can't decide which) of Icebox.com, and about a dozen other various enterprises are still banging into walls, causing various levels of frustration. But I do feel certain you'll be seeing more output soon. Incidentally, Working Assets, my employer during that morning radio show I did last year, finally pulled the plug on RadioForChange.com a few weeks ago. I greet this news with much sadness. I still think if a few things had been done differently, RadioForChange.com could have been something really amazing. I wish everyone remotely connected with the project the best in their future endeavors. Finally, you might have noticed my own website still hasn't been updated much since roughly the Bronze Age. It's a huge job and I'm flying solo here these days, and I'm busy getting other potentially very large stuff -- various screenplays and such -- off the ground, so no promises on an update, although I really am trying. Sorry. If you have questions or comments, just email me directly, and I'll do my best. Thanks!
