Comic Recommendation: Proof

I've just started reading the Image comic "Proof," by Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo. And I'm really, really enjoying it. It's kind of like Hellboy, BPRD, Men in Black, and X-Files. It's centered around two agents that work for an organization that investigates and hunts down usualy-harmful cryptids. (And, oh yeah, one of the agents just happens to be a Bigfoot.) The stories are crisp, the humor light, and the characters engaging. And each issue has a dearth of bonus content at the end, while still costing only $2.99.

The many names of the Dude

When we got out Sheltie almost 2 years ago, we named him "The Dude." Since then, the name that has become our preferred way to address him is "Bubba." But he has acquired several other names as well. Here's the (incomplete) list:

• The Dude
• Bubba
• Pupsicle
• Pupsicle Mama
• Puddle
• Lovey
• Love Love
• Love Bug
• Lovey Mama
• Bugsy
• Bum Bum
