"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It cracked me up several years ago that I had to make that correction to a set of Art textbooks, as well as changing Star Trek: The Movie to Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It literally paid to be a geek on that project.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh, I figured the discussion in here was about the new Buffy issue, so I didn't come in until I read it! I liked it, even though I don't remember who the hell Simone and Nisha are. I'm a little confused about the Ragna demon and the whole not-killing-it part. The issue felt like it would make a good episode, which is something I haven't felt in a while.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

P-C, I didn't remember who they were, either! But I liked the dialogue a lot, and I thought it moved pretty well.

Although I admit my favorite part was the preview for next month. The cover, specifically. Faith and Giles!!!! (Uh, not like *that.*) Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yeah, it was really well paced. That's what made me think it would make a good episode.

And I enjoyed catching almost all of Andrew's references. The bit about Lee and Dualla was great.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hilarious, but still not as funny as Art Speigleman's Charlie Brown as Gregor Samsa that he did in one of the issues of RAW.

It wasn't Spiegelman, it was R. Sikoryak. He's done a bunch of parodies.

I somehow never knew that. And I'd seen the Inferno Joe one before too (they're probably both in the Read Yourself Raw anthology). That's awesome! Action Camus!

I just finished reading all five extant volumes of Scott Pilgrim. Definitely the funnest comic I've read in a long, long time.
