Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Told you so.

Also, be grateful you weren't reading it as it came out. At least I only had the last issue to wait for when I was hooked up with it.

Nice!

I have highlights the FAQ Ellis did on the WEF somewhere, let me see if I can dig that up. He answered some questions about references. And then he got irritated and set Fraction loose on the posters, which is also entertaining.

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

Hey, did you guys know that Planetary is fucking amazing?

I gave the boy a page for our first anniversary. (He gave me stuff from the animated Tick ) (Nerds R Us)

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

I assume it was some sort of original artwork and not something you ripped out of a book.

Oh. Damn. Coulda saved a few bucks, now that you mention it.

Actually, P-C, wasn't it you who gave me a Planetary poster you got at a convention? One of your Boston visits, or the Seattle F2F?

Yep! I think maybe the Boston visit.

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

I completely don't follow F4. Is this a reasonable jibe? Does he respond in kind?

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 have no idea what the joke is there, ita. Of course, I don't really follow FF either.
