Yes, of course that's a silly headline. The childish among you (mostly the men) are no doubt giggling into your fists over the word "abreast," while the less childish (but equally silly) are wondering what news concerning Scrine Comics, or any comics for that matter, could possibly be considered important. I completely agree, on all accounts, whatever it is you're thinking.

But the fact is: there might just possibly be something important to share one day, and by filling in that little box above and hitting the button, you'll be able to breathe easier, knowing you won't be the one who misses out. I mean, what if someone here stumbles upon a revolutionary cartooning breakthrough that alters the power balance of the world, and instead of having joined the mailing list, which you thought would never amount to anything, you decided to sit around and watch television and feed the cat, which I'm not saying aren't important tasks in and of themselves, but think about it for just a second, because when the world shifts gears, and I'm frantically emailing Scrine Comics' members detailed driving instructions to the nearest fallout shelter, what are you going to do?

Of course, you may never hear from me again, which isn't saying I've put on my loudest pair of bermuda shorts and absconded with everyone's email address to a secluded tropical island, because.... well, sadly, because it just doesn't work that way. Or maybe it does and I just don't get it, which come to think of it, is probably the case. What I'm trying to say is that I'm too slow-witted to know what to do with anything you share with me, which basically means that your information will never be bought or sold or traded for back rubs or anything like that. At least not by anyone around here.
