Andrew is too busy to have a fanboy moment right now.

I try to keep the pop culture references limited in stuff that I write. The last strip referenced Angry Birds and Joust, but I don't like to make too much of a habit of it. Little thing I picked up from listening to Bendis' podcasts.

I think anachronistic pop culture is fine - like Joust. You just don't want to reference a fad that is popular and will fade. And with webcomics I think it's different than say writing a graphic novel.

Decided to give the USM cartoon a shot. I have to say, it was so nice to have Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes season 2 start the same day. That's such a good show.

Which is exactly what Bendis recommends. You're okay with stuff like Ghostbusters and The Godfather, but a Napoleon Dynamite reference isn't going to go over well in 10 years.

But.....my pog comics.

I didn't know there were POG comics.

...what was the story? buncha kids slam down some card board and plastic circles around in the school yard?

Draw the individual panels on the sides of the pogs, and then put it in one of those plastic tubes for them with a cover image wrapped around.
