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

A month late. . .

It's to balance out the Powers fans who got two in one month. Comic karma.

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

Plei will be dying any moment now.

Or, you know, a week later, when I get back to the country.

Delayed dying over here!

Oh, and Plei what about the sequence in Bats where (whitefont)

I thought I heard the sound of a thousand slashers, giggling, and deciding how best to frame their icons.

Gulacy has been quoted that he "knows what the fans want" and will draw the title the he has been, regardless of the way the title was before.

He can suck my dick. I mean, I can deal with the cheesecake (Benes, I'm looking at you) if it's at least well done, but ugly cheesecake? Fuck that. Someone needs to slap that boy.

I'm not sure what sort of crack, but it's a bit like their offices were hijacked by ficcers. On crack.

Lots of crack. I watched the last two episodes last night. I blinked a lot. And perhaps giggled.

Re: whatever the number of the most recent GL was... Dear Marz. Please stop. I know, there's just one more issue, but please, please stop. Stop. Stop. In fact, please stop writing. What's next for you? An excuse to shove a woman in a dishwasher? Renaming Major Force Major Appliance? Dude, you have no magic in your heart. Also, the art sucked.

Heh. When I read that scene, I had SA on the couch next to me, and I went OMG!squee! and showed her the sequence and said "That is SO going to be the base of a gazillion LJ icons tomorrow."

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

I admit I frame things with an eye to reduction to 100x100. And also how you can manipulate context with same.

50 icons? Not enough.

Heh. Reading through back issues of Nightwing last night, there's a panel from (I think) #51 -- with Catwoman -- that I want to make an icon, but I can't for the life of me get the .jpg files of the .cdr archive to unpack so I can open the pages individually.

Steph, what do you have, a Mac or a PC?

If Mac, you should be able to press Command-Shift-4 to make a screen capture, and then manipulate that in any graphics software you have.

If PC, you can open up your graphics software, press Alt-Print Screen, go to your graphics software, select File->New, and then press Control-V to paste the image.

It may or may not get you good resolution for 100x100 icons...

I think there's a feature in the display software that lets you save a page -- it's how I ganked images for my Martha Washington LJ theme.

Mac at work; PC at home.

Oh yeah -- DUH. I'ma try that when I get home.

Well, when I do a screencap (which I do, um, daily) I hit Command(Apple)+Shift+4, which gives me a little plus sign instead of a mouse pointer. You can move the mouse around until you've got it where you want it, press the button, drag until you've got a big enough square selected, and then let go.

My screencaps get dropped on the Mac HD directory as SimpleText pictures, which you can drag and drop into Photoshop, for example.

Edited because the draggage comes before the droppage.
