Well, duh. While the rest of the world may find such information, courtesy of CNN, to be rather surprising (or something?) the geeks just nod their heads. Do we get points for being forward-thinking? Probably not. Either way, apparently—shock of shocks—the iPad has given comics a major boost. While everyone’s been busy talking about the […]
