Jeff Parker has some shocking theories about the relationship between Pixar's "Cars" and "Wall-E" that you may be interested to know more about. They came up over the weekend in a discussion with Mitch Breitweiser about "2012." Cars were also on Ed Brubaker's mind yesterday, and if you were following his tweets, you now know whether or now he wants you to blast music from your automobile if you pass him on the road.
Elsewhere, G. Willow Wilson weighed in on Sarah Palin comparing herself to Shakespeare following the former Alaska governor's inventive use of the English language in some headlining tweets recently. Check out Wilson's recommendation, Frank Tieri's philosophy on killing characters in comics and what kind of class Brian Michael Bendis recently enrolled in.

@g_willow Sarah Palin has just blessed the English language with a new word: refudiate. Please use it at least once a day

"2012" pt. 2: @mbreitweiser Elizabeth just asked "so was that the prequel to Waterworld?"
