Profile addy is perfect - thanks!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My favorite comic of all time. Bar none.
OK, I consider that a helluva recommendation. What do you think of the other Ellis work you've read (in terms of comparison)?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Generally a fan -- love me some Planetary, and his run on StormWatch/the Authorty was awesome. Sometimes he puts out stories where he's mostly going through the motions, but even those tend to be more fun than your average comics, so whattaya gonna do?
But Transmet .. man. I have a love the size of all outdoors for that comic, in all it's bitter, cynical, sarcastic glory. In fact, I have a Spider Jerusalem action figure on my computer, and somewhere I have a picture Darick Robertson drew me of Jerusalem pointing an accusing finger and shouting, "Tell the truth, damn it!" I usually end up re-reading it every year or two, all the way through.

One of these years, Pete will finally give into my pestering and dress up as Spider Jerusalem for Halloween. It will be perfect.

He has the scalp and the cranky attitude -- what's stopping him?

He feels he is not in shape enough to dress up as Spider. I keep telling him that he should go as the winter version of Spider (from the one-shot storyline where he ends up attacking the Filthy Assistants with some sort of snowball killing machine). I even offered to dress up as Yelena. (Plei said she'd pay folding money to see this.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bill Watterson gives what is believed to be the first interview with the reclusive artist since 1989.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought of him today. I saw a pickup with a Calvin in cowboy gear pissing on some random logo sticker and his recluseness came to mind.
