Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

They also have a talent search for artists asking them to draw Harley Quinn naked in a bathtub about to kill herself.

I should ask Chatty!Former!Co-worker if he's seen that. Although he's at the comic-con all weekend, so maybe not the best time.

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

The movies are so lucrative that the comics are seen as a threat to marketing

Are you still talking about DC here?

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

Do you think he'd want to work for DC?

He's as unemployed as I am, and trying to get traction with his self-published title, so yeah, I think if going to DC would get him more name recognition so he could jump to a different publisher, he'd do it.

It's not like he'd have to make a long term commitment!

Jim Lee explains why people are silly to have overreacted without the facts that weren't provided, and that they will be at fault if the naked woman in a bath that they draw is sexy: [link]

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I like my friend Ashley's response to the contest.

Wow, that's a whole lotta blah blah blah.

RIGHT?? As soon as he starts with all that ABC bullshit it's like dude you have missed the point the point is in another country and you can't hear us yelling anymore come baaaaaack.

Hey, a comic with a naked woman in a bathtub in peril is only sexy IF YOU MAKE IT sexy. Goddamned perverts. Also, why aren't you operating from the huge amounts of trust that DC has earned, especially recently, with regards to treatment of all its characters, especially female, and here's an unrelated picture of a guy looking into a fridge and and getting angry (you wouldn't like him when he's angry). WHAT??? Do you need me to explain lack of context again?
