War & Pizza by Aled Lewis

Everybody knows the Shredder couldn’t beat the Turtles in a pizza eating contest. But, for the nonbelievers, artist Aled Lewis has recreated the scene of the famous showdown here with pixel art pulled straight from the old Ninja Turtles arcade game.

Flannery O’Connor’s Reading of A Good Man is Hard to Find

As a former English major and a lover of Southern Gothic literature, I don’t know how I’ve gone my entire life without reading single word written by Flannery O’Connor. Thanks to Grant’s recommendation (who himself was turned on to the author by Andrew Combs), I picked up A Good Man is Hard to Find, a collection of O’Connor’s short stories, and I’m sucked in. While searching around the web for more info on O’Connor, I stumbled across this reading of the collection’s eponymous story. I’ll let Ms. O’Connor do the rest of the talking.
