Another reminder: the Unshelved Lookalike Contest ends March 25. Post photos of yourself and the coworkers who remind you of Unshelved characters!

A reminder that we're in the second week of our Spring Cleaning Sale. You'll get a Choose Books shirt free whenever you buy any two shirts.

Factoid: our three most popular t-shirts right now are Bibliovore, Read Irresponsibly, and Frequently Asked Questions.

Chris Flick wrote to tell us that a one-eyed Dewey made an appearance in his webcomic Capes & Babes:

If you don't know about Capes & Babes, it's a web comic about a strip mall, a comic book shop and one crazy werewolf. I've been online since November 12th, 2007 and Friday will be my 200th strip.

Currently, my werewolf character, Roy, has a new love interest - a female vampire - and he's trying to find more information and knowledge concerning the "forbidden love" aspect of a vampire and werewolf relationship so after calling Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla on "Loveline", they suggested he do some research on the subject.

So that's why he's in a library asking Dewey for advice.

Hope you enjoy the strip - and I hope you will enjoy Friday's strip just as much as I also have Mel in that strip.

It's a nice compliment to see our characters show up in other media (we've been known to throw a few cameos into Unshelved too). Just so you know, Chris' strip is a little crass, let's say PG-13.
