Oh, I loved The Umbrella Academy. I'm so glad I picked that up for FCBD.
Thanks to Buffy and SPN: Origins, I'm afraid I'm getting sucked back into the comics habit.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

What is even happening?
I dropped it to a friend of ours. He was just leaving the shop with his son, as we were getting there. He mentioned there was a Magic: The Gathering tournament going on inside. I asked if he'd played (he is big into comics and has written some RPGs). He said he had, and I asked if he knew of you. When he did, I said you were a friend of mine. I believe he said, "Wow. Pete Venters, really?" and then asked how I knew you. So I said I became friends with your wife, online.
The online part always feels so lame.

Yeah, I'm glad you didn't mention b.org, though, as I retain a very polite online presence for my professional persona, whereas you all know me as someone who swears like a sailor with his comedic tastes in the gutter.

You keep spelling adorable wrong.
I think we just need to keep correcting you.

Plei, I wish to hire you, just so I can fire you.
It's been awhile, but you, missy, are OTL.

Lalala! I'm on the list! Yay!
Also, were you making that adorable squinchy face when you typed that? Were you? Hmm?

I don't really want my face to face people here. This is my refuge (which I typed as 'refuse' twice, and let that be a lesson to you, or something).
My friend said he knew someone associated with M:TG in real life, but I can't remember who (because the only meaning M:TG has for me is that my nephew used to be crazy for it, and you did beautiful work for it).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Heh. That strip was in one of the free comics I picked up on Saturday.
