Where else in the DC universe would somebody get to draw that much grime and squalor? Even Gotham, until recently, was the world cleanest, tidiest failed city.<BR/><BR/>Shovelware is a term I swiped from computer programming lingo. It refers to any product that sells itself on quantity rather than quality, usually a CD containing a crap-load of old, but still used programs. The term seemed like a perfect description for those "at a cost of $0.75 a movie, you can't afford not to by this set" style movie boxes.CRwMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896615209770501945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993991.post-1160971227118957802006-10-16T00:00:00.000-04:002006-10-16T00:00:00.000-04:00First, HIGH TOMB is a TERRIBLE pun!Second, this is...First, HIGH TOMB is a TERRIBLE pun!<BR/>Second, this isn't the first time you've used the term shovelware and i have no real idea what you're referring to, although some vague notions are filling my head, but unconfidently. Is this an actual term, or even an actual slang term, or is this something you've personally coined? Either way, please: Lucy, 'splain!<BR/><BR/>On another note... I forget where this came up between us, but being the impressionable lug I am, I bought myself the Showcase edition of JONAH HEX comics.<BR/>I've been reading through the stories very slowly, so curiously, I haven't even gotten to the Michael Fleisher stories which I've heard so much about.<BR/>It's pretty entertaining, but most of all I'm impressed with Tony DeZuniga's artwork! He's great!<BR/>After I read some more, I'll have to do a post on my comics blog... someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
