I think every time I draw the Great Gama he morphs a little bit more into Mr. Belvedere. – Count DvL

Hey guys!  Do you like William Blake?  Do you like comics?  Would you like a comic about William Blake?  If so, then hop on over to our friend Geri E. Gallas’s Kickstarter, where she’s rallying the troops to publish her William Blake graphic novel, The Poet and the Flea!  It’s Keen!  – Count DvL

Leibniz had a tricky philosophical mission – he was caught between Descartes and Spinoza, unhappy with the species-ism of the former, and unable to publicly advocate what he liked about the latter.  The best he could manage was Monadology, a text which has flavors of Spinozist determinism while still making a strong case for the fact that you can not have reason and still have memory, emotions, and a proper existence.  We are third-type monads, and in order to get the universe to work as it apparently does, he had to shove a lot of properties into those guys that don’t necessarily rub well together, in his honest attempt to avoid the pitfalls of Cartesian dualism.  – DvL
