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

He wouldn't have known the difference!

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.

I'm assuming it's a dig at her sleeping with (or wanting to) Namor.

Oooh. Okay, that makes more sense.

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that.

I'm bouncing around the web, looking at various comic artists and the responses to same. I just have to say--after the Greg Horn section, I wanted to disinfect myself. When it looks too slutty for Emma Frost--recalibrate.

Anyway--I'm looking at this Sam Keith, and while it's deliberately stylised, I don't think that kind of stylisation has much to offer to those characters--was this title a comedy? I don't recall having read it.

And defense of this seems to be of the ilk of "I don't see why you wouldn't like it"--but maybe I just read that wrong. I have to have read that wrong. Because...it's hideous. And not in the Sienkiewicz way, which is my bar for non-representative comic art.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I think maybe in the second one he is deliberately parodying Leifeld? That was kind of the point of AzBats.
