Q - What is this blog about? A - It's stuff written by Andrew Girardin. And comics and games. Q - I'm weakminded and need to be popular. What do my peers say about it? A - "Your blog is so funny! It's the best written blog! Why don't you write a full-length novel? I'd gladly buy it!" Q - Is Andrew that guy who translates the Asterix jokes? A - Yes. Q - Why doesn't he just stick to that? A - Good point. Don't know.
