No DRAGON'S BREATH for months, and now I'm bombarding your e-mailbox!� I know it seems�strange, but there's an awful lot going on at H&D lately, and I don't want you to miss out!

So let's jump feet-first into a couple of news items, then I'll let you get back to your regularly-scheduled e-mail ... .

MR. MIKE'S COUCH-TIME MOVIE

Starting this Saturday, June 2, we'll be urging you to watch a little more television.� That's right � we're giving you express written permission to put down those games and comics for a couple of hours and vegetate in front of the tube.

Why?��Because this Saturday is the premiere episode of MR. MIKE'S COUCH-TIME MOVIE on our local�Fox affiliate, WACH�Fox 57.� If you're local to Columbia, South Carolina (or if you can pick up WACH's powerful signal through your antenna), you can tune in to a different movie every Saturday night, starting at 2:00am.� (O.K., technically it's Sunday morning ... .)� Think of it as a drive-in movie in your living room � where Mr. Mike is the nosy proprietor who stops by to check in on you and your date at every intermission.

Mr. Mike is a long-time member of the H&D community ��and a DRAGON'S BREATH reader!� His love for comics and kitsch rivals our own, and when he told us he'd be hosting the late-night movie on WACH, well � we just had to horn in on the act.

We'll be sponsoring the first�four weeks of MR. MIKE'S COUCHTIME MOVIE, and each week we'll be giving away a $50.00 shopping spree to the H&D Mega-Store!� That's four chances to win!� You can register only at the Mega-Store (not online) and only once.

Mr. Mike will draw a new winner each week and announce his or her name during the COUCH-TIME MOVIE.

This week's COUCH-TIME MOVIE is THE ROCKETEER, and Mr. Mike�will be cutting in with taped footage from the Mega-Store.� See our staff as you've never seen them before!� (See me punched in the gut by a 10-year-old, astonished that Mr. Mike could talk me into it!)� And if you've been in the Mega-Store recently � you may be seen on MR. MIKE'S COUCH-TIME MOVIE, too!

So brew that coffee or set those VCRs � MR. MIKE'S COUCH-TIME MOVIE premieres tomorrow night (Saturday, June 2) at 2:00am.� Don't miss it!

(Also:� You may see our new TV commercial on WACH Fox 57 this week, during such shows as THE LONE GUNMEN, THE SIMPSONS, and MAD TV.� Keep an eye out!)
