Fresh off his stint in the hospital, things are starting to normalize for Brad Dwyer.

We were happy to have Jeff Owens, musician and mini-comic artist extraordinaire, fill in last week, but it's nice to have Dwyer back.

This week, Dwyer creates a whole new punk rock subset, adding "home-core," marked presumably by a wardrobe of sweatpants, patchy beards, and over-sized pant shirts, to the legion of mini-genres like homo-core, slut-core, slo-core, Nintendo-core, nardcore, trashcore, crunk-core, and a bunch of other cores we're not even cool enough to know about.
