	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Ricochet Rabbit
		Ricochet was the sheriff of Hoopen Holler, a town that looked just like any number of other fictional towns of the Old West, except of course for being drawn in cartoon style.
		Ricochet's voice was Don Messick (Scooby-Doo, Papa Smurf and much more) and Droop-along's was Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and much, much more).
		Ricochet and Droop-along appeared in only ten segments on Magilla's show before being replaced by Breezly & Sneezly, a pair of arctic fauna that mooched off a nearby military base.

	Ricochet (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ricochet was an alternate identity used by the fictional superhero Spider-Man, and later adopted by college student Johnny Gallo, who appeared in the Marvel Comics' series, Slingers.
		Ricochet learned that the Black Marvel had made a deal with Mephisto, the demon king, to get the costumes and find the youths to become the Slingers, and Mephisto had the Black Marvel as his captive.
		Later, Ricochet joined another team of teen heroes, Excelsior, with the goal to dissuade young people from becoming superheroes, noting that all of his efforts had not earned him one ounce of fame and recogntion.

	Sequential Tart: Retailer's Corner - Speeding Bullet Comics (vol V/iss 8/August 2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		With this forward-thinking attitude to comics retailing and diversity of approach, I knew that Speeding Bullet Comics was a worthy candidate to be featured in Sequential Tart.
		But over time, comics will have to be available more universally — whether that's through additional direct market outlets, bookstore sales, internet sales or something else entirely — to raise the industry's numbers to healthier levels than they were in the late 1990s.
		MP: The new comics are racked alphabetically by title, broken down into Dark Horse, Marvel, Crossgen, Image and independents, and DC, with DC having the subcategories WildStorm and Vertigo.

	Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily!
		Looks like your comic pimpin' amigo has opened up quite a can of worms with last week's column with nothing more than an off-handed mention, because my in-box has been piling up with emails from fellow retailers with questions and comments about genre-racking.
		Well, to start, chances are almost all of a comic store's customers have spent time shopping in bookstores, CD stores, and video stores, all of which employ genre racking, so they'll be able to navigate the shelves pretty well on their own.
		The first ever digitally created comic book, SHATTER's beautiful dot-matrix art was drawn on a first-generation Macintosh which, for you tech junkies out there, boasted a mere 128 KB of RAM.

	Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily!
		Comic Pimp: Unlike many of the other retailers who I'm doing interviews with, you and I have actually met, but somehow we never got talking about how we got into comics as readers.
		Comic Pimp: Not having had a lot of other job experience, you are probably the perfect person to give advice to an aspiring young person who wants to go straight into comic retailing.
		Comic Pimp: I think anyone looking to open up their own comic shop is going to see a lot of retailers I interview going with custom shelving and a little thinking outside of the box to achieve the display and storage they want specifically.

		The Ricochet Monster was able to reflect any force it was attacked with (both physical force and energy bombardment) back at its attacker.
		As the creature gorged itself, Thor hurled his hammer at it to return the Ricochet Monster to its masters with the hopes that they, too, would fall under the spell of the snacks.

	Sequential Tart: Retailer's Corner - Free Comic Book Day 2004 Special (vol VII/iss 5/May 2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Comic book stores, and the comic industry as a whole, have enough of an image of "a place to buy superhero comics for children and the socially "maladjusted"" that we really didn't feel comfortable promoting that impression in a particularly vociferous manner.
		One of the realities of comics is that while we have such an incredible diversity of products right now to offer readers of all ages and of all styles; unfortunately, if you ask Johnny or Josie on the street, he or she would answer that comics are superhero stories for 10-14 year old boys.
		And one of the problems with that perception is that a lot of comic fans, a lot of comic professionals, and a lot of comic retailers are insecure in their hobby, in their pastime, in their livelihood, in the artform.

	American RealPolitik: The Ricochet Effect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		But his backing for the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act alienates the extreme left and whips them into a fine fury.
		At the same time, their alienation and anger at the policies of the incumbent chief executive generate a new activism on the extremes of the opposition party which kindle increased flows of money and manpower into the minority party.
		The ricochet theory, in a sense, is the concomitant of triangulation.

	Drastic Comics : "Keep this Bast#rd off the streets" - Mark Millar
		If some dude just walked up to you in their underwear or in a get up that wouldn't look out of place in an S&M club and just said, "Hey, you mind not being a dickhead?" Of course you'd laugh.
		Childish and silly as they may be, I have a healthy distrust of people of comic book readers you can't find superheroes inherently cool.
		I'm not saying that superhero comics are the be all and the end all, far from it.

	Loners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story title is a company in-joke, a play on two common catchphrases of Stan Lee: "Face front, true believers!" and "Excelsior" which often appeared in his "bullpen bulletin" in Marvel comic books.
		In the end of the "True Believers" arc, it was revealed that the group was secretly sponsored by Rick Jones on the behalf of Captain America, who hoped to ensure the Runaways do not get into trouble.
		He is a mutant who has an early warning sense much like Spider-Man's, as well as enhanced agility, sensory perception, amazing targeting skills with thrown objects, and coordination.

	Salon.com Technology \| Boomeranged by Ricochet
		The sickest part of my Ricochet rumba has been the constant questions from onlookers in cafes, public parks, bookstores and meetings, and the skin-crawling ego satisfaction I got from explaining.
		Endlessly the questions came, from the honestly puzzled to the enviously awed: "What's that on your computer?" "Is that what I think it is?" "No, that's not a PDA or a disk drive," I'd reply smoothly.
		The smuggest of the self-appointed digerati I met would occasionally challenge me: "How's Metricom's stock doing?" "Hasn't the company had trouble getting people to subscribe?" Always I'd placate these people with their niggling concerns, soothing their minds and putting them down at the same time.

		Boose’s Comic Swap also uses print ads and television commercials, and has listings on several independent publisher web sites, the SPX web site, and are in the process of developing an informational web site for the store.
		If spending time on a comic book message board is any indication, there are some people who absolutely refuse to entertain the notion of trying an independent or small press title.
		Admittedly, this information is probably old hat for those already publishing comics today, but aspiring self-publishers can always use suggestions on how to get their books into the hands of readers.
