???????? LOCAL COMIC BOOK ARTIST? NEEDS YOUR HELP! Working on Kickstarter to? Fund His First Independent Project! Local artist Clint Hilinski has decided to try and fund his first creator owned? comic book? project via Kickstarter! He?s an exceptionally talented, cool? cat sort of guy and really deserves a chance to start up his own project! We?re? asking you to help in a couple of ways: 1) If you can, please make a donation (he?s got some reslly great premiums!)? and 2) Please help spread the word? about this project in any way you can! Here?s a brief description of his project? in his own words: ?Pirate Queen is the? story of Ava Bloodstone, captain of the Star Raider and her crew of space? pirates. A motley crew of scoundrels and cutthroats headed up by her second in? command, Zora Astra. Our story starts out with Ava trying to fleece another crew? of alien pirates of their recently stolen treasure but when the aliens discover? Ava?s plans she quickly finds herself on the ships plank hovering precariously? above the alien desert floor thousands of feet below. I?m really looking forward? to getting to work on this project. It will be my first creator owned book and I? need all the help I can get. I?ve worked as an artist in comics for the last 17? years on projects as big as the Justice League for DC to as fun as drawing the? Greatest American Hero comic. A show that I was a huge fan of as a kid. Other? projects I?ve worked on include GI Joe, Voltron, Lady Death, Kiss, Xena Warrior? Princess, Youngblood, and many others. But this one I may be even more excited? about. All money raised for the project will go directly into production of the? series. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!?

In clockwise order, each inventor quickly? pitches his or her product directly to the customer. The customer can end any? pitch that goes longer than 30 seconds. The customer decides which product to? buy and gives the inventor of that product the round?s customer card as the? prize. Inventors discard all used word cards and take two new word cards each.? The player to the left of the customer becomes the next round?s customer. Play? repeats until each player has been the customer once. Whoever collects the most? customer cards wins.

CLASSIC MOVIE OF THE WEEK! Electric Dreams ? 1984 Lonely architect Miles (Von? Dohlen) purchases a fancy new ?Pine cone? personal computer and clumsily spills? champagne on it which, of course, imbues the computer with human (or more than? human) intelligence, prodigious musical talent . and the voice of Bud Court. The? computer (now called Edgar) proceeds to fall in love with Miles? upstairs? neighbour, beautiful cellist Madeline (Madsen) with whom it engages in anonymous? musical duets thanks to the talents of iconic 80?s film composer Giorgio Moroder.? Madeline of course assumes the music comes from the obviously shy Miles and a? romance ensues. A romance which stokes the fires of jealousy on the part of? Edgar. By way of revenge, Edgar cancels Miles? credit cards and wreaks various? other havoc on his on-line accessible identity. Meanwhile Madeline cannot? understand why Miles won?t play music with her when he obviously has such? talent. None the less, human love prevails and Edgar nobly commits suicide when? he realises that he will never, can never, win the heart of his human love.The? film contains several neo-classical musical numbers, various examples of? state-of-the-art 80?s computer graphics and 80?s sexology icon Dr. Ruth in a cameo
