So is it intentional or a coincidence that there's also a character named Pete who has a thing for your alter-ego in the book?
I suspect it's mostly coincidence, as my Pete loudly insists he's Not A Goth. 
Mostly
coincidence, with possibly a smidge of intentional. 
	
 
		
		
Could anyone grab an extra copy of 1602 #8 this week? I'll reimburse you. The comic book store I loved here in town closed. 
Teppy, I'm gonna put your copy of #1 (or was it five? lord, I can't remember) in the mail before I leave for New York.
	
 
		
		
SA, I can buy one for you and give one to you Thursday or Friday.
Or, we can just go to the comic book store when you get here.
	
 
		
		
Point, Tom. I think we've got a hefty itinerary Thursday, but Friday sounds fab. Can you go to dinner Friday night?
	
 
		
		
Friday's good. I forgot that you're in town Saturday. That would be OK too.
	
 
		
		
 Yes, I am biased about it, because of something Kevin admitted to me when he gave me the print-out.
Oh My God! I know Penny Dreadful and didn't even realize it!
	
 
		
		
Teppy, I'm gonna put your copy of #1 (or was it five? lord, I can't remember) in the mail before I leave for New York.
Thanks, sweetie. It's #1.
	
 
		
		
Jilli, email me and remind me to send you Kevin's e-mail addy. I may not get to it instantly, but I will do it. Just remind me.
	
 
		
		
Dude.  A friend of mine said she'd alert me when the X-Men reboot happens this summer so I can start collecting again, and it didn't actually occur to me until just now that it means... Joss.

Not batty (really! for once!) but there's an interesting essay up at Sequential Tart about teaching Transmetropolitan in a college writing class.
Or, maybe mostly interesting to me. But still.
