This past weekend was the New York Comic Convention, a massive gathering of everything comic books. New Bwog correspondent and former Marvel Comics intern Shaina Rubin writes a dispatch about meeting the writers behind the heroes. (She’s even illustrated the scene with her very own comic.) On first entering the New York Comic Convention, known […]

Too much to sift through on YouTube?  Life’s hard.  Bwog’s here to help. There’s nothing as bad as being in Butler on a Saturday night.  But, instead of wasting your study break tonight on another disappointing episode of SNL, Bwog suggests checking out Sarah Dooley’s (BC ’11) delightful YouTube series, AndSarah.  Sarah’s face may be […]

“Bwog.NET?” readers ask themselves. “Isn’t that domain suffix for second-rate websites?
