Paradise Bar's Links Page
    There are lots of websites that were useful to me in creating this site, or finding necessary supplies and information. So this section is devoted to sites that may also prove to be interesting to PBG readers. If you have a site that with content related to PBG and you'd like to swap links, click HERE to see the banners I've put together. All links below will open in a new browser window.

    I'd also like to give special recommendation for CRITICALMESS.NET, a terrific Pop Culture site produced by some of my friends. They co-host new PEEBEEGEE strips, but CM also covers a range of subjects, from comics to music to television. An insightful and non-commercial website, Critical Mess welcomes new contributors to the site, as well as members of their 4th World-inspired message board, Apokolips.

In other words, they don't take themselves seriously, just their fondness for oddball kitsch. Highly recommended to anyone who gets regular laughs out of this site.
