Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

In fact, I have a Spider Jerusalem action figure on my computer

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

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

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.)

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I always expected some other work from BW. Not necessarily a comic strip, but something. But if he said all he wanted to say, more power to him, and kudos for knowing when that moment was.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Just hovering over the link made me throw up in my mouth a little. Do I even want to click it?

The article doesn't go into specifics; I just found it to be angry-making rather than nauseating.
