This conversation between Ed Piskor and Chris Claremont is pretty awesome, and also heartbreaking: [link]

Ahem.

I am a 50 year old man, and my favorite webcomic is the magical girl series Sleepless Domain.

There. I said it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

While it's not my absolute favorite (Check, Please! currently has that honor), I utterly love Sleepless Domain. You have excellent taste, Tom.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oooh, I need a new webcomic.

If you start reading SD, do NOT read the character bios up front - they are very spoilery.

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.

So the live-action Titans series is going to have an episode involving The Doom Patrol. [link]

I'm wondering if Action Comics #1000 is worth the $17 price.

For me, it almost is. I love that DC didn't decide to renumber their flagship comic. The idea of 1000 issues of this title is wonderful. Superman and Batman have earned those big numbers.

They did renumber it, for a little while, then they put the old numbers back.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, they retconned the reboot?
