Open Letter to Dave Campbell
Dear Dave,
First, I am really saddened to hear that you are ending your comics blog - quite frankly, it was a pioneer. A breath of fresh air amongst the pontificating, mostly my own. You brought me many hours of joy, whether it be focusing on Power Girl, or bringing us the best in climactic moments from films....or even furthering the English language...which is much more than Sims ever did.
I'll even forgive you for featuring that goofy guy from Days of Our Lives. And that "marching in my plaid shirt" video.
But anyway, I wanted to say - thanks for making the blogosphere fun again. My only wish is that you and Sims had fought against a common foe (I even said so about a year ago). But I understand that ABC calls, and that Tom Bergeron is probably hipper to hang with than say, oh, Mike Sterling.
(Which, if that's the case, I want to head to a parallel universe where the opposite is true)
But thanks again. And I would like to offer the following as my meager tribute to your genius:
Thanks again, and best of luck.
Your pal,
Gordon
P.S. I could take Sims in a bar fight. Honestly.
P.P.S. Ever watch Ironside? The man is drinking bourbon out of diner coffee cups in the afternoon. He rolls in a 1930's police van. Hardcore.

A Modest Proposal
It is an issue that is tearing people apart. Dividing friend against friend, blogger against blogger, it is an issue that asks us - nay, demands of us - that we choose which side we are on. It threatens to crack the Internet in half.
I'm talking, of course, about the David Campbell/Chris Sims feud.
Both bloggers share a love of good, old fashioned comic goodness, complete with "F*** Yeah!" moments, random panels, bear wrestling, dog punching, and a great sense of humor. However, these two gentlemen are beginning to snipe at each other, and are engaging in a back and forth. Bloggers are being asked to determine who is the more "kewl" of the two bloggers.
My proposal - Dave and Chris join up Marvel-style and fight a common foe.
That's right - both of them need an archenemy. Someone worthy of being in conflict with them. A blogger whose very existence threatens all that we hold dear, and against who Dave and Chris have a fighting chance.
But who? Other than an abnormal love for Swamp Thing, Mike Sterling's harmless. Dorian and Kevin both possess wits capable of melting steel at 300 feet. Which comics blogger deserves to be a worthy adversary of Chris and Dave?
Me.
That's right - I'm full of myself, have a slightly snarky sense of humor, rarely (if ever) proofread my posts, and come up with boring, pretentious lists! Plus, I am volunteering to be your enemy.
I mean, Dave, marching in your plaid shirt and posting about allegedly "bad ass" soap opera stars just makes you look like a wuss. And Chris, I bought you a puppy, but I got hungry, and I ate it.
(See, I eat puppies! How evil is that?)
Plus, you can organize the rest of the blogosphere into fighting me. Maybe have Redhead Fangirl do Oracle-kinda stuff. Scott can provide medical services...or at least, free samples of vicodin, or something.
But Gordon, you're asking yourselves, Is this another of your caffeine-fueled manic episodes?.
Maybe, but here's a thought - if you're uncomfortable with me, I'm more than willing to help you find some blogger to become your nemesis. The blogosphere's full of self-important, pompous blowhards who have a slight contempt for their audience.
Again, takes one to know one in my case, if you get the picture.
Anyway, the two of you think about it - you two shouldn't be fighting each other. Much like Power Man and Iron Fist, or Power Girl and Huntress, you two should be a lean, mean, blogging machine. Join forces. The net needs you.
