Free Comic Book Day is one of the most anticipated events of the nerd year, always the first Saturday in May, when fans get a preview of upcoming projects involving their favorite icons or discover new characters. More Fun Comics and Games is celebrating its 15th year in Denton with a very special #FCBD guest, comics legend Scott Williams, who illustrated the Denton Batman #1 exclusive variant cover. After a day of in-store signings on the downtown Denton Square, the award-winning illustrator will be revealing his artistic beginnings, his storied career, and behind-the-panels tales of infamous projects in a very special Nerd Nite Denton event at the Bearded Monk on Saturday May 6 at 8pm.

We've all experienced it when you first move to Denton. Exclaiming something along the lines of, "Unicorn Lake? That place sounds awesome!" only to be met with disappointment when you end up dining at a Chuy's or working out at Curves.

Bottomless mimosas are both a blessing and a curse - especially if you're the type to not feel alcohol until the moment you stand up. We've had brunches before when that glass (or flute or whatever) just seems to never go empty. Every time you turn around your half full glass become completely full once more. And the mimosas at local fave The Chestnut Tree are even more impressive than that. The abundance of flavors makes for a different glass every refill and ability to serve yourself means that you won't feel ashamed about your mimosa-habit every time the waiter walks by and side-eyes you. Anna Ryan knows what we're talking about. The comic and artist put together this 5-panel comic strip documenting a meal with accompanying mimosas at The Chestnut Tree. She showcases what may be an all-too-familiar scene that may occur if your bottomless mimosa glass gets refilled a few too many times.
