Woe to the fucking wicked.

See, Plei, I think they'd actually get a lot more readers if people knew going in that A)You start here. This is where you start. There is nothing before this that you need and B)This story will end at that particular time. It will not go on into infinity. You can believe that there will be some sort of ending.

Which is much more long-term thinking than most people can/do exhibit.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Eh, that's what movies are for. ::handwaves::

Hey, has anyone charted to see if the decline and fall of the superhero comic matches up with the decline and fall of afternoon soaps? Speaking of things with more similarities than differences, once you get past the surface and all.

Afternoon soaps didn't die, they just moved to prime time.

Superhero comics didn't die, they just moved to the multiplex.

You know, you're right about that.

Very cool, Sail!

Hey, you obviously don't have to answer, but - in those photos you look a lot like my grandmother whose maiden name was Romeo - do you have Italian ancestors?

Not that I'm aware of. It's all northern Europe (England, France, Scotland) and Ukraine.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Scribd is adding a ton of comics for $9/month: [link] I'm curious to see how this works out.

Which reminds me I'm way behind on Sex Criminals and Lumberjanes. Dang.
