I think so, ita. (But I've never done a side by side comparison, so there may be subtle differences.)

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh. Now I can't remember where I got the idea that Death was based on Tori Amos. Okay, never mind. Thanks for the link, LJ--at some point I really need to track down the rest of the series and finish them...

which you (or at least I) can see really well in some panels of "Brief Lives." Though even that isn't really true.
Though who drew Brief Lives? I knew one of the artists who worked on Sandman at one point (I forget exactly where), and he was a HUGE Tori fan.

What Jesse said. In one of the comics, both appear to a traveler in one of the soft places, (not at the same time) and they look quite alike to me, to the point where I didn't understand that element of the story until I reread it.

I just looked it up on Amazon, and sure enough, Vince Locke (my friend back in Michigan) was one of the artists for Brief Lives.
Those panels you speak of very probably are modelled on Tori Amos, Lyra. Regardless of what that FAQ says.

Yeah, the character's not, but some of the panels and some of the later text is, though my recollection at this point about this point is over a decade old. Gaiman and Amos didn't meet and become friends until after she recorded Tear in Your Hand, which was what, 1991?
What was the general impression of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the house? (We watched, thought it was okay, and that Kate Winslet was very pretty in a Jessica like way, but failed to connect to the characters enough to care about them.)

I really liked Eternal Sunshine. Even though the main characters weren't people I'd particularly like to know, I sympathized with the arc of their connection and the movie's message about way that your memories shape your relationships.

Hee! (Just last night, I was talking about how much I liked Eternal Sunshine, and the person I was talking to leaned in close and asked, "So...was it a hair thing?")

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
didn't you start to wish Jackie Chan would turn up and just twat one of them?
Haven't seen Hero, but I often get this feeling in day-to-day life.
"Can you give me an ETA on that order?"
"No, but Jackie Chan can beat you up with a grocery cart."
"HhhiiiiiiiYAH!" *crash bang splurt carnage bang crash*
