Welcome VegNews readers! I just got my copy in the mail yesterday, and was delighted at the write-up. Site traffic here at Vegan Man has, by my rough calculations, octupled. And that’s not counting RSS readers. If you’re lurking, feel free to stop by and say hi!

For the record, I’m not the world’s biggest comics fan, though I’ve got a shelf full of graphic novels by Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, and Alan Moore. And all of Osamu Tezuka’s Buddha. And the fabulous Scott Pilgrim series by Bryan Lee O’Malley.

On second thought, maybe I am a comics fan.

The true story is that once I registered the name veganman.net, I was faced with the challenge of designing a theme for it. Vegan Man seemed to demand a comics-inspired design, and that’s what it’s gotten.
