Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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!!!!

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

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

I'm about to read the fifth volume, Tom! I was going to ask whether any Buffistas were fans. See my tagline. This comic makes me LOL more often than many other things I have ever read.

I just finished the first volume and am going back for more definately! Did you know about this?

Scott casting kind of exactly perfect, imo.

I hated the girl cast to play Ramona when she was in Sky High. Easily the worst thing in the movie.
