Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I figured out who her father was because I googled her name, and discovered that her character exists in the regular DC universe.

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.

I meant to record that, but all the previews didn't give me much hope. The weird anime-esque cuts in Teen Titans worked because of the animation style as a whole and feel of the show. All the cuts I saw in the Ultimate Spider-man previews felt really, really out of place and jarring.

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

For those who are interested in such things, Mark has begun reading Sandman. I am re-reading along with him after six years, and I'm already getting a deeper appreciation of it from reading the comments (along with online annotations and wikis). I had no idea Lucien wasn't an original character!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

P-C, I decided this morning that I'm going to do a re-read-along, too.

It's easy enough to do an issue a day! Although I may skip ahead on weekends as a buffer.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oooh, I should do that. Just last week, a friend loaned me his Sandman TPBs (I think there are 10?) because (shameful confession) I've never read them.
