The last Tuesday of the month is usually one of the busiest days here at the CCL. See, I usually record the podcast either in the afternoon or at night, which means I’m doing show prep, scouring the news sites or double checking the Release Schedule. I’m also putting the finishing touches on the TwoMorrows Tune-In Podcast, which normally goes up the First of the Month, in this case tomorrow (no pun intended). But today also happens to be Rosh Hashanah and even my Catholic kids have no school, so I barely have time to write this post. I’m trying to get them to get all their homework done today so they don’t have to do it Wednesday or Thursday or God forbid, Friday Morning. I’ve been somewhat successful. But I also have to plan dinner which means going to the store with two kids who will want treats and snacks. What’s a Dad to do? Time for some links:

I’m curious about the potential Captain Britain omnibus — I would guess they would want to include Alan Moore’s work, but would that require another set of negotiations with Moore? We know how poorly that ended up last time.
