Athens, Georgia and Mr. Weing
July 30th, 2010
One of the comics I read on my way home was Drew Weing’s Set to Sea. I’d been seeing pages of it on Drew’s website for awhile but reading it in book form was a delight. Highly recommended.
If you’re in Athens, Georgia tonight (Friday), you can get a copy from the author himself at the release party from 5-8pm.
Funny thing is, when I thought to make a remark on how Athens is landlocked and checked Google maps to see if Athens was indeed landlocked, I discovered that there is no label in Google Maps for Athens!
WTF, Google Maps??
[UPDATE: There actually is an explanation—and it’s not what you might expect.]

… and if Google Maps isn’t happy losing a well-known-and-documented American city, they’re just a-pullin’ Lancanshirian towns out their posterior:

As a map addict, I find these amazingly fun.
