Friday Links

We hope you enjoyed Wednesday’s post – our sixth April Fool’s Day blog entry.  Though some find April 1 joke posts to be silly and unnecessary, we have to admit that we love writing them.  If only you, our dear readers, loved reading them.  Maybe you do. If you missed it, the title was  “Federal Court Enjoins Reboots of ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘The X-Files’ On ‘1990’s Estoppel’ Grounds.” How about that? Popehat even tweeted it!

That said, one curmudgeon from our office emailed us on Wednesday and remarked: “I might have appreciated it more if I had ever actually seen an episode of either of those shows.  Their relative obscurity, however, probably makes them perfect fodder for an April 1 post.” Relative obscurity? Sigh.

So, of course, for today’s edition of Friday Links, we had to go with an X-Files comic book cover. In fact, above, you’ll find the cover of The X-Files #1, published by Topps way, way back in the halcyon days of 1995.

By the way, in the interests of completism, we present these links to our past April Fool’s Day posts:
