The Nitpicker Is No More! Long Live The Dissector!
Dissect: 2. to analyze and interpret minutely.
The Nitpicker doesn’t exist anymore, but as you can see, it’s not really gone, just renamed and with a new look. Now it’s called The Dissector, and that snazzy logo you see there was designed by my lovely and talented friend Nysie. Thank you Nysie, you now have the honorary rank of Admiral in the newly renamed Honorary Dissector Scout Corps… so it’s doubly honorary…
Why the change? Well, almost accidentally I learned of the existence of Phil Farrand, the Nitpicker’s Guild, and Nitcentral. Phil and his band have been doing what I do for comics, but TV shows and movies, mostly science fiction. He started in 1993 with Star Trek: TNG, and the Guild has been finding plotholes and mistakes in shows ranging from Monthy Pithon to Dragon Ball.
I didn’t feel it was right of me to use the name I did when these guys had started more than a decade before I did, and I’m in no way associated with them. Furthermore, the image I was using as a logo didn’t look very professional, and it only featured a Marvel character, when this column is about any and all comics I get my hands on.
Don’t fear, the quality won’t decline, I will in fact strive to perfect my craft everyday. Thanks for reading.
