As someone who begins the day with newspaper comics followed by 30 or so online....thank you for this look at a place where "comics are serious!" I especially love the outdoor comics; my favorite above is the surprised gentleman leaving his house.

Thanks PHeymont. The large murals are my favorites as well, and it was fun to "hunt" them around the city.

Hey, great pictures, thanks. I have always loved TinTin and the Belgian comic tradition.

I must admit that this was one of my biggest surprises when visiting Belgium. One thinks of folks in Brussels as people who are obsessed with politics, because it's everywhere around them. I found wonderful, helpful, easy-going folks with a quirky love of their comics. Comics, as Travellinn's piece points out so well, are everywhere and a part of their national fiber. Thanks for sharing this piece!

George G revisits a street he often went to with his parents when he was a child. He shares some observations on how it has changed.

DrFumblefinger shares night-time images taken in Las Vegas in 1983. It was a smaller and simpler place to visit then.

If you are preparing a trip to the city of sin, you may already have wondered how transportation works in Las Vegas. Something that is not always taken into account the first time you visit Las Vegas is the great distance between hotels. And it is that, although it seems that everything is very close, the reality is far from that.

Although much of Las Vegas has changed over the last five decades, this iconic landmark has withstood the test of time.

Art students in a friendly competition spin a tale of time travel in a mile-long comic story.

Golden memories indeed ! The James Bond car chase takes me back too. I've already done my Picture of the Day ready for tomorrow. Can't get too much Vegas !

Great photos and info on that iconic sign! On my last trip to Las Vegas, I found that the city is a very interesting place to walk. Because the airport is so close to the strip, I even walked there for my return flight home. Amazing what a different perspective you get when walking.

Brussels loves its comics, and its most popular character seemed to be reporter TinTin.

Brussels  is the homeland of Tintin, Spirou, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke and the Dalton brothers, all international comic strip heroes.   I, off course, had to take a closer look, and started at the Belgian Comic Strip Center.
