"@AngeloD: Yep:) If I remember rightly, Mur does a pay service where you get stuff a bit early but it's all still free release too. As for other stuff, let's see:) -Superspiff and the Toothpick Kid by Dave Thompson [dk-thompson.com] Very gentle, very odd and very well realised story about what it's like to read comics as a kid, in a world where they're (sort of) real. -The Drabblecast [web.mac.com] Essential listening for anyone who likes short fiction."
