So far the shorts have been very hit or miss (mostly miss) but that one looks entertaining.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ugh, I just read Ghost World, and it made me almost physically ill. Enid and Becky are so fucking awful for no good reason at all, and I didn't see any point to any of it. The last two chapters could have saved the book, but I'd had it long before that point.

Heh. And here I am with two (count 'em!) Enid dolls in my living room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That makes it all kind of weird, but I couldn't think of any other reason for his name.

I recorded Green Lantern so I could see more of Super Best Friends, and I can't watch it! Everything's so fuzzy, it does bad things to my headache.
Anyone else have that problem with the animation?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, I just read Ghost World, and it made me almost physically ill. Enid and Becky are so fucking awful for no good reason at all, and I didn't see any point to any of it. The last two chapters could have saved the book, but I'd had it long before that point.
Aw, man, and here I am unable to re-read Ghost World after the first go-through because it was just so utterly haunting that it left me swamped by incontinent nostalgia for weeks afterward -- not the actual events, but Enid and Becky's relationship, their conversations, the way they saw themselves and their peers and the grown-ups around them and tried or failed to navigate all the gaps in their world, their lives, their futures? Reading it, I felt like Clowes must have been in the booth behind us at the Copper Penny at Geary & Masonic, secretly taping everything.
God knows there was a lot of weird fucked up not-as-all-knowing-as-we-thought-we-were,-not-by-half stuff going on, but we weren't fucking awful. We were just... I don't know. But, seriously, I haven't cracked that book in almost 20 years and just looking at the cover can still give me regretful, sorrowful, yearning shivers for I can't even articulate what.
