  Gizmo (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gizmo is a master of machines, capable of turning something as non-threatening as a vacuum cleaner into a dangerous weapon.
In the comics, his real name is Mikron O'Jeneus ('Mikron' having the same origin as microchip, and 'Jeneus' being a purposeful misspelling of genius).
He was redesigned into a probably pre-teen kid (as opposed to being a middle-aged midget as he was in his comic form).

And in one story, our third issue, I was inspired by a scene from a New Teen Titans comic where Vic meets Sarah Simms and her students for the first time, and the episode "The Sum of His Parts".
What we need to do then, as comic book fans, is do whatever we can to pass on our love of the medium to young people we know.
As a comic book reader, I do that by buying comics for my nephews, donating comics to local libraries and hospitals, and giving comics as birthday or Christmas presents and even handing out comics along with the candy at Halloween.

Where Skype uses its own proprietary protocol, Gizmo Project uses the open SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) standard (and it now supports the open Jabber protocol for IM).

 Sean Gleeson » True Blog Comics!
Three weeks ago, when I was writing a post about a spat between two bloggers, I made a funny graphic to go with my words.
It was a send-up of the old “true crime” comic book genre, so I named it “True Blog Comics.” Since then, I turned it into a running gag, and made three more “True Blog Comics” lampoon covers.
So I’m adding a new True Blog Comics category to my blog, so they’ll all be in one place.
