Waiting for ‘Jericho’
I don’t remember running to the mailbox waiting excitedly for the next issue of Mad or Cracked magazines when I was a kid. Maybe it was because I never subscribed to them, yet they were always around the house. Must have been the Home Office in Wichita’s doing. Big brothers always get the better satire magazines. Or something like that. Anyway, I am checking the mailbox every day for my first issue of the six-issue Season 3 cycle of “Jericho.” Yep, my mind is back in Kansas. And yes, it’s a comic book. And no, I’m not embarrassed, because apparently to follow a bit of thinking-person’s entertainment these days one has to go somewhere beyond network TV. I got word via e-mail from the Jericho Web group back in August that Devils Due Publishing was bringing out the comics series this fall. I ordered via the Internet. Twice, I think. And I’ve been patiently waiting. The order system hasn’t sent a tracking number.
