A study of more than 200,000 children around the world has left many parents of babies skittish about using fever-reducing drugs, such as Tempra and Tylenol. The study, released in late September, concludes that infants given acetaminophen may be at risk for developing asthma later in childhood. However, a leading Canadian pediatric allergist says acetaminophen […]

While reading today's Nancy, in which Sluggo leans reflectively against the fourth wall without ever really breaking it, I decided to explore the characters' looks over the years. The characters themselves have remained remarkably similar over the decades, but Nancy herself did get an electrifying pop-art makeover in the sixties and seventies at the hands of Andy Warhol and Joe Brainard. Check it out:
Above is Andy Warhol's "Nancy," from 1961
This is Brainard's "If Nancy was a painting by de Kooning," from 1975.
Above is Brainard's "Nancy diptych," 1974.
This last selection from Brainard is titled "If Nancy was a da Vinci sketch." There are a couple more by Joe entitled "If Nancy was a boy" and "If Nancy was an ashtray," but those are decidedly NAFTGCB (Not appropriate for the GoComics Blog), so you won't find them here.
The last artist I should credit here is Guy Gilchrist, who has been writing and illustrating Nancy since 1995. The whimsy, humor and charm Guy brings to the strip keep it lively after nearly a century. Not many people could pull that off AND hold down a career as a country singer, but Guy does it with gusto. Check out some of his tunes here.

This is an incomplete list. I was not there for all the signings, but I hear they went well. Here are some photos of your favorite cartoonists signing some things!
Patrick McDonnell signing "Mutts" books!
Greg Evans signing "Luann" prints! (it was so busy, we ran out of prints! Luckily, this happened only 3 minutes before the signing was scheduled to end)
Technically this isn't a signing. This is Hector Cantu being hassled by Lalo Alcaraz (who did a "La Cucaracha" signing later, but I wasn't there so I don't have photos. Booo!) before the "Baldo" signing. It is one of my favorite photos from the convention...
(Hector is the *writer* of Baldo)
Lucas Turnbloom sketching before his "Imagine This" signing!
Chino XL and Lalo Alcaraz after the "La Cucaracha" signing!
Brooke McEldowney talking to fans at the "Pibgorn"/"9 Chickweed Lane" signing.
Mark Tatulli doing a sketch for a fan at the "Lio"/"Heart of the City" signing. It's hard to tell because we had to wind it around the corner, but the lines for his signings were ridiculous. He signed for more than an hour on Saturday and Sunday, and no one left without a book!
Keep in mind, these were NOT all the signings! We also had Shannon Wheeler, Keith Knight, Glenn and Gary McCoy sign at the GoComics booth. Thanks to the cartoonists for doing this, and thanks to the fans for coming to support us!

From today's "In The Sticks." Based on the packaging, I'm guessing the manufacturer can't be accused of not giving adequate warning.

It was amazing. Our booth was gorgeous, our signings were busy, and everyone loved the Get Into Comics (click the link to try it at home!) display. I'll have photos later (so many! it takes so long to sort them!) but for now, I share with you my absolute favorite thing from the convention. I present to you: Harley Dog!

Gather 'round, pardners, it's time for another installment of "Mac Cactus' Authentic Frontier Gibberish," in which we translate the colorful lingo of Rip Haywire's beloved cowboy and mustache-in-chief.
Today's word, found in the third panel, is "absquatulate." Our trusty Old-West dictionary defines this as:
Until next time, cowpokes, that's one to grow on!

(above, W.T. Duck's last Sunday strip to run in newspapers, 7/24/11)
After 5 years of laughs, camera flashes and ridiculously demanding clients, 'W.T. Duck' has called it a day — at least for daily comics, that is. Though he's not a photographer by trade, W.T. Duck creator Aaron Johnson's strip has been consistently hilarious in its depiction of the trials and laughs faced by photographers and other creative professionals.
The enduringly popular and sharp-witted fowl has been entertaining readers on the web for half a decade, inspiring a print syndication run, a line of plush toys, and hundreds of tribute photos and artwork from fans around the globe.
Personally, I'll miss getting a daily dose of Aaron's trademark wit, hilarious characters (especially the voodoo duck) and sharp, economical writing. But, I'm excited to see what he'll do next. Fortunately the strip will continue on the web even if it won't be available any longer in print. As Aaron announced on Twitter last week: "I look forward to this next phase and I'm excited about being able to do things with the strip that I just simply didn't have time for...As always, I must thank everyone for the support over the last five years. It's been a wild ride. Long live WTD!"
To keep up on the duck's adventures, waddle on over to whattheduck.net, and to browse through the archives, visit the duck on GoComics. Vive el Ducky.

If you skip the comics on Sunday, you're starting your week behind the curve. Fortunately we stay on top of our stuff here at GoComics, so starting today I'm planning to reinstate the "Sundays you may have snoozed on" update to review some of the weekend highlights. Here goes...
Grace's frustration in scoring clearly parallels the U.S. Women's narrow defeat in penalty kicks last week in the World Cup Final. That game bummed me out so much that it's still painful to address the subject even a week later. Fortunately this slow-mo highlight of the game has kept me smiling.
Speaking of sports, The Born Loser yesterday shocked the world by demonstrating that he can still recall his own nuptials. Baseball fans, I dare you to watch this recap of Barker's performance that night and not tear up.
Poncho really got in poor Patches' head yesterday.
Finally, a humorous tribute to the late Amy Winehouse yesterday in The New Adventures of Queen Victoria. Went back and listened to "Back to Black" yesterday. Even after all the tragedy, live performance disasters and scandal, her music still sounds fantastic.

I've often suspected that Andy Capp employs ludicrous British slang to smuggle verbal filth past the clueless American censors. This second-panel obscenity, however, represents a whole new level of moral turpitude, and is nothing less than a brazen attack on the decency of our fine and upstanding republic. We fought the Revolutionary War for this?

You know that line in MGMT's "Time to Pretend" when he sings "get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute"? Great tune, but it can be pretty depressing to listen to when you're stuck in traffic for 45 minutes on the way to work (thankfully, I live close to the office and drive a Segway to work, so that never happens to me). Speaking of commutes, some great advice here from Tiny Sepuku on creative ways to overcome the daily commuting blues. Read more of this fantastic advice strip on GoComics or at TinySepuku.com.

As Nancy Chavez helps her family set the table, she seems to be in every way, your typical 8-year-old girl. Living a normal life is something her parents have worked hard to maintain after a traumatic event that happened to Nancy when she was 1-month-old.
Her mother, Margarita Chavez, had been unloading groceries in a Walmart parking lot, when she turned to return the cart, a stranger grabbed Nancy.
"Every time I think about that I thank God because my daughter's with me again but at that moment my first thought was to save my baby," said Margarita Chavez.
Despite her own attempts to rescue Nancy from the abductor, as well as several others, an Amber Alert was issued. The next day Abilene Police returned Nancy to her family safe and sound.
Eight years later, the Chavez family is still thankful an Amber Alert was able to be issued, mainly due to the surveillance video taken in the Walmart parking lot.
"(My mom) doesn't take the cart back where it goes anymore, she just leaves it next to our car so I feel more safe that our Mom's closer," said Nancy's 12-year-old sister, Esmeralda.
When news of missing 13-year-old Hailey Dunn from Colorado City reached the Chavez family, they were saddened since they know what Hailey's loved ones have been going through for the past several days.
"Even though (police) are not using the Amber Alert, it has been on the news and that's so much help and I would tell this mother to keep hope," added Margarita.

Get ready for canning time
Happy Labor Day Weekend! This is the big one to unofficially end the summer season and we should all enjoy it completely. This holiday celebrates the folks who are the backbone of our nation – the workers. If it weren't for them, the government would not have any money to operate. They are the ones who provide all the money for those who can't or won't work and the money to give away around the world. Company owners and company workers alike pay into a system that spends their tax dollars without appreciating them. The workers are the people who finance the country. They should be honored, along with the military, for providing us the country we enjoy. There is no free money, no money tree, and for others to receive it, someone has to work for it. At the present time, about half of our residents are providing the money to care for the other half. Somehow, I don't believe that was the dream of those brave souls who started this new country. We should help those who have worked and now can't and those who legitimately aren't able to work, but those who ride the free-load train, and work under the table for cash or draw money because of their life style or slipping into the country illegally, should be thrown off that train!
Don't put the grill away just yet – there are still warm evenings and weekends to come when you can still cook supper on it. For some reason, everything tastes better when it is cooked on the grill. Steak can be seared in a hot iron skillet just as well as on the grill, but that special flavor of one grilled over hot charcoal (with those cancer causing particles on it!) seems so much better. Husband Norm says there is nothing about that charcoal searing that is harmful, and he is probably about right, but I do bring the subject up often, especially when the fat around the edges have that crispy texture. With all the junk we get in our commercially prepared food, one little steak occasionally isn't going to make a difference, I guess!
This is not the time to be concerned about staying on a diet, while we add hamburgers, hot dogs (the only time I like them is when they are cooked on a grill!), pasta and potato salads, watermelon, cakes and pies as we eat our way through this "end of summer" ritual. Many of us will be attending fairs and those Elephant Ears and Funnel Cakes just HAVE to be sampled! We have almost three months before we engage in another eating marathon – Thanksgiving – so maybe we can control our calories in the meantime so we don't have to buy larger clothes to start the Holiday season!
The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a long and cold winter, so maybe that extra weight we gain now (and can't lose) will help us keep warm. Look on the positive side! I hope winter doesn't come too early as these nice days are so pleasant for enjoying morning coffee on the deck. I just recently finished laundering my good sweaters and putting them away for the summer – now it is almost time to get them back out! Guess I am getting too slow to get things done "timely".
There are still many things to enjoy before it does get cold. The fall flowers and the colorful leaves make autumn a special time of year. The newspaper is full of neat places to visit as fall approaches. Every season has its own good features. With school starting, we can look forward to football during this season. Whether it is high school, college, JV, or Pop Warner – we enjoy it and go endless miles to cheer on our kids. All students should be in some form of sports, band, chorus or other school activity besides their academic studies, and we family members should let them know how proud we are of them by going to the games, concerts, and award ceremonies.
Have you finished the "putting up" of the summer veggies and fruits? I haven't and the time is getting shorter to get it done. I didn't plan to do too much but the plan was to do more than I have! Since the garden is so pitiful, a trip to the Farmers' Auction will have to fill out the tomatoes and peppers I want. Pepper sandwiches are a joy to eat, but one has to can the peppers as they aren't available in the stores. So, peppers, Salsa, and peaches are on the agenda. I have been giving in to Norm about not doing so much canning, but some things are just better home processed. I know they are healthier without all the preservatives and "natural ingredients and artificial flavoring" in store bought food. I really don't know why embalming of a deceased person is necessary with all the "preservatives" we get in our food! To be completely healthy, we should raise all our own food, even to meat and eggs, and grow and raise everything "organically", but that is impossible for most folks. It also is a lot of work and takes a lot of time that folks just don't have anymore. Of course, we weren't meant to live forever on this earth, so it is sometimes best not to read the labels and just enjoy the food we buy and not worry about what we are really eating! Every week there is something new that isn't good for us and the next week it is what everyone should eat. We really can't win the advertising game!
While the temperature is still up there, keep the iced tea pitcher filled and sit in the swing often (under a shade tree, of course). Take time for yourself and don't let others push you into a stressful rush. I, too, sometimes feel that present time slaves are now known as wives! Then, I rebel and trade that iced tea for a glass of wine and a good book and do nothing but sit in the shade and read! I don't really recommend that for young wives, but age does give one some privileges!
Enjoy the rest of the Labor Day Weekend. Be thankful for all the workers who have made this a great country. Take care and God Bless!
Cut peppers in strips or in half (for sandwiches). Parboil in salted water for two or three minutes. Drain. Pack in clean jars, cover with syrup and seal. Process in hot water bath for twenty minutes.
SYRUP: One cup vinegar
Two cups sugar
Two cups water
Cook until of light syrup consistency.
For spicy peppers, add two to four tablespoons pickling spice to syrup and a clove of garlic to each jar. To add heat to the peppers, add one or two jalapenos to each jar of mild peppers. If you make both hot and mild peppers, be sure to label each one. One jalapeno per jar will make a warm but not burning hot jar of sweet peppers like the bells.For pepper sandwiches, use red, green and yellow bell peppers mixed with colorful Hungarians. If the peppers get hotter than you thought or like, put more butter on the sandwich and that helps take out some of the hot.
One egg
One tablespoon sugar
Three tablespoons flour
One-half teaspoon baking powder
Three ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
Butter and sugar
Beat egg with sugar. Add flour, baking powder, and bananas. Whisk together. Drop, a tablespoon at a time, onto a hot buttered frying pan. Turn when bubbles appear. These cook very quickly. Be careful not to burn the butter and add more butter to the pan as needed. Place pancakes on a platter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. These are sweet, so syrup really isn't needed. It is better to make two batches then to double it. You can double it if you use a blender to make it. Frying in butter gives it that special taste, although butter smokes easily, so use a lower temperature then normal frying oil.
One cup white sugar
One cup shortening
One cup molasses
Two eggs
One-half cup milk (or coffee)
Four heaping cups flour
Three teaspoons soda
One teaspoon salt
Mix together sugar, shortening, molasses, eggs, and milk or coffee. Combine dry ingredients and add to the molasses mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased baking sheet and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes.
One-half cup butter
One cup sugar
Grated rind of 2 oranges
One egg, slightly beaten
One-half cup orange juice
Three cups sifted flour
One-half teaspoon cinnamon
Four teaspoons baking powder
Cream together butter, sugar and grated orange rind. Gradually add egg, orange juice, flour, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix thoroughly. Drop by a teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in preheated 325-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown. They are even better if you sprinkle a little sugar over the cookies before baking them.
Six or seven lb. leg of lamb, boned
Three-fourth cup good red wine
Five cloves garlic, halved
Two sweet onions, diced
Three bay leaves
One teaspoon dried basil
One-half teaspoon oregano
One-fourth teaspoon dill seeds, crushed
One-fourth teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
Six whole black peppercorns, crushed
One tablespoon salt
Three green peppers
Six sweet onions
Six ripe firm tomatoes
One pound mushrooms
Dice meat into 1-inch cubes. Place wine, garlic, diced onions and seasonings in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Stir lightly and add lamb. Cover tightly and refrigerate 24 to 60 hours. Stir at intervals to marinate evenly. On skewers alternate lamb with inch green pepper rings, onion quarters, tomato quarters and fresh mushroom buttons. Broil over charcoal fire (grill) until lamb is done. If fresh herbs are used, use three times listed amounts. Fantastic kabobs!!!!!

Rogers' Suretap NFC Payments platform has finally rolled out onto BlackBerry 10 and some Android devices this week.
Having already arrived in Canada late last year, the tap-happy payment platform was limited by poor app usage, lack of compatibility across devices and only a slim picking of places to use the payment method.
Now though, Suretap has begun expanding its offering by allowing banks, loyalty and reward programmes to develop mobile payment solutions on Android and BlackBerry 10 devices that make use of a secure SIM and NFC technology.
Now Android phones like the LG Optimus G and Samsung's Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II can be used to make payments. As well as the BlackBerry Z10, Bold 9900, Curve 9360 and Bold 9790.
The tech also works across all MasterCard PayPass and Visa PayWave terminals across Canada.
"To continue driving adoption and growth of mobile payments in Canada, it is essential that a strong ecosystem is established to include multiple devices, operating systems and payment networks," said Rogers' VP of Transaction Services Jeppe Dorff.
"We know our customers have strong affinity to the Android platform and we are thrilled to include Android devices amongst smartphones ready to support mobile payment applications built for suretap."
Krista Napier, IDC Canada's Senior Analyst for Mobility, added: "The Android operating system holds the largest share of smartphone unit shipments in Canada and in North America today.
"Because of Android's market presence, and Canadians' growing usage of smartphones for many of their daily activities, there is growth potential for mobile payment solutions being offered to Canadians on the Android platform."
Do you think betting on a future of NFC is the right thing to do?
Does Rodgers need to roll out Suretap technology faster than they already are?
Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.
The future of payments is a shady one, nobody knows quite what's going to take off and come next. You can have your say on the matter in our poll, but you can also find out more about which method could rule the roost by coming along to Cards & Payments Asia 2013 where the future of NFC will be discussed at length. Download the free brochure to get a head start on the competition.

*Please note: Acrylic Varnish is an interior varnish for walls and furniture and decorative areas. It is not suitable for outdoor usage or for varnishing surfaces painted with oil based products.
*100ml Matt varnish. A handy sized touch-up pot and also excellent for sealing the edges of tapes prior to painting for creating crisp painted edges, with no bleeding.
* To make a Pearl Shimmer Varnish use 2 - 3 pots of Pearl Metallic Stencil Paint to one 500ml Varnish to create a cool lustre effect.
*To create a smooth finish with Acrylic Varnishes use Synthetic Paint Brushes.
*Useful tip: Varnishing furniture and painted accessories? Allow lots of curing time between coats to create an extra durable finish. Whilst acrylic varnish is quick drying, it is tougher if you allow plenty of drying times between coats - 12 - 24 hours.
*When using Acrylic Scumble Glaze allow glaze work to dry and harden for 24-48 hours and then seal with Acrylic Varnish.

Aside from his touring schedule, Mandel recently concluded his eighth season on the hit animated series "Bobbie's World," currently in syndication six days a week and in 65 countries. As executive producer, Mandel was involved in writing, as well as providing the voice of Bobby, Bobby's dad and other characters. Since becoming the first animated series for the Fox Kids Network in 1990, "Bobby's world" has garnered several Emmy Award nominations.

Mandel first rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, and appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" more then 20 times. His profile was heightened with his role as Dr. Wayne Fiscus on the multi-Emmy Award-winning medical drama "St. Elsewhere," which ran from 1982-88.
Mandel has taken his respected sensibilites with kids to release a series of interactive animated CD-ROM's aimed at educating children while entertaining them. The discs are distributed by 7th Level and include "Tuneland," "Lil' Howie's Great Word Adventure, "Lil' Howie's Great Math Adventure" and "Lil' Howie's Great Reading Adventure." An instant success, the CD-ROM series has won 36 awards and critical acclaim worldwide.
A Toronto native, Mandel owned carpet stores before beginning his comedy career on a dare during a business trip to Los Angeles in 1979, when his friends coaxed him to perform on amateur night at the legendary Comedy Store. A producer in the crowd that night hired him on-the-spot to appear on the comedy game show "Make Me Laugh." That run led to talk show appearance, a stint as Diana Ross's opening act, and eventually led to his role on "St. Elsewhere."
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three Children.
Produced and distruibted by Paramount Domestic Television, THE HOWIE MANDEL SHOW has been sold in more then 170 markets representing 95% of the country. The Paramount Television Group is part of the entertainment operations of Viacom Inc

Governor Issues Limited State of Emergency for Delaware Drivers
(Dover, DE) Governor Jack Markell has issued a limited State of Emergency with a "Level 1 Driving Warning" to begin at 4 p.m. Sunday in Kent and Sussex counties for a storm that is now predicted to dump up to 18 inches of snow on the southern part of the state and up to 8 inches in the north. The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for the Delaware coastal area. Heavy snow and high wind is expected make driving dangerous and ill-advised during some periods.
DelDOT crews began working overnight to prepare and plow roads, and the Governor this morning deployed Delaware National Guard personnel to man heavy equipment in each county and at State Police troops to assist with any local emergency needs. DEMA's Emergency Operations Center near Smyrna has been activated and acts as a link between the Governor's Office and cabinet and emergency responders around the state.
"With DelDOT crews working around the clock, the National Guard activated and our state and local emergency responders at the ready, the state is fully prepared for the first big storm of this winter but we ask everyone to use good judgment and stay off the roads," Governor Markell said.
According to Governor Markell, "With heavy snow and wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour, travel on some of the state's roads will be very dangerous, will hamper the plowing operations and may result in the need to rescue drivers from snow drifts. As such, we strongly urge people to stay off the roads."
Under a new law passed in the wake of last winter's snowstorms and designed to provide more clarity to drivers, Delaware now has a three-level driving warning and restriction system. The following levels are found in Title 20 of the Delaware Code, Subsection 3116(b)(12) and may be put in effect by the Governor during a State of Emergency for all or parts of Delaware based on conditions.
The Level 1 Driving Warning issued by the Governor starts at 4 p.m. Sunday in Kent and Sussex and is expected to last at least until Sunday evening. Conditions will continue to be assessed to determine if the Level 1 Driving Warning should be extended to New Castle County, but drivers are encouraged to be cautious and refrain from the roads unnecessarily as conditions worsen. Public notification will be made when the warning is lifted.
