- Weird Al Yankovic, with recent spoofs like “Tacky” (to the tune of “Happy”), remains more popular than ever. Weird. [Flavorwire]

- Carolina A. Miranda begins her Comic Con coverage by chatting with writer Douglas Wolk who’s responsible for “Judge Dredd: Mega City Two – City of Courts,” the L.A. update on the Judge Dredd comic series. [Los Angeles Times]
