Stalin Roulette, a game so stupid only my brother could come up with it.

As Carlos has mentioned before, Stalin Island went through many, many rewrites and this sequence had the good luck of being one our favorites (sorry savage cosmonauts). But it didn't survive unchanged!

For one, it used to happen in it's entirety in Part 1, but we needed the space. Then it was the cliff hanger before Part 2, but it didn't work and delayed Bolshevik's introduction too much. THEN it was changed thematically from a sort of 'Pass Stalin's test of wits!' to Cheetah proving his worth and friendship to Rodriguez. THEN we added henchmen for Cheetah to unload on, because before he just shoot all six bullets into the air!

Writing is hard, guys. But in the end, I don't think anything contributed as much as the stunning first panel on this page from our artist, Matt Cossin. Where we had to get out of our way and simplify, he elevated our stupid idea to greatness.

So, seriously, check out today's New Page. If you like it, check out Matt Cossin's art page too!

God bless the internet.

I have been on a Job Quest. Recently, I found a positions to my liking and was about to apply. I had done the research, visited in person, and just completed a shiny new resume. I was feeling confident. 

But wait, your personal worth summary (resume) needs an introduction. I needed to write a cover letter. However, this application was being submitted to a national HR department and 'Dear National HR Department' is not the proper way to address a letter. I guess I'll just title it 'To whom it may concern'.

But a voice in my head, my guardian angel perhaps, said "Google that."

I googled some help on cover letters and there was one consensus: all people who title their cover letters 'To whom it may concern' are the scum of society. This was a faux pas so deadly it would blacklist me from any employment, ever, anywhere. I deleted the crime and contacted the offices for further details.

When in doubt, use the internet. If still in doubt, look at the newest page of Time Cheetah. That should set you at ease.
