Hey Sean, cleaning house means I found my Mike Baron interview. Here's an excerpt where we talk about how to justify having a man put on tights to fight crime.
Sweet!
And it was such a marvelous image I've written a whole story on it called "Beaver Drop."
I remember that one. Vaguely. It's been too long since I've read any Nexus and Badger. I read them originally out of a friend's collection. Said friend has since moved to Sweden.
I also rode back from San Diego Comic Con with Steve Rude. Also cool!
This must surely have placed somewhere in the ranks of epic road trips.

Heh. Steve Rude is a very serious guy. But Heidi Macdonald was with us in the same car.
The party I went to at that San Diego con was suitably wild though. Mike Baron and Dave Sim were doing coke in one bedroom, Bob Burden was being just as drunk and goofy and ass-grabby as you'd expect the Flaming Carrot's creator to be, and Gilbert and Jaime were there too. (Los Bros. did no coke as that was a very un-punk thing to do.)
So, my DVR has been helping me catch up on all the Teen Titans I've missed. I didn't realize I'd missed the entire latter half of last season and the whole middle of this one. Last night, I watched 3 of the 4 episodes I'd missed from this season.
"Hide and Seek" was very blah for me. I think
the kids
annoyed me far more than they did
Raven.
"Revved Up" was a silly story concept in my mind, but it had enough great little moments to make it enjoyable. Something about the way
Starfire
said
"Galufnog"
just cracked me up every single time. Though I'm annoyed that the series is over, meaning we'll never find out what the whole deal with
Red X
is.
"Lightspeed" was a lot of fun. It was also another confirmation, beyond Dick, that TT is in a separate Universe/timeline from the DCAU as
Kid Flash
was pretty obviously
Wally
considering the personality,
red hair
and
Michael Rosenbaum
voicing him.

Too bad I don't have cable. J'aime Tony Millionaire.

Moi aussi. But I have cable! Bring on the Drunky Crow!
Okay, the latest DC solicitations are up and I am left with some burning questions -
Why doesn't Batman stuff his extra socks in his utility belt instead?
What dance move is that, anyway?
Worst nose-job EVAH?
I got nothing
I'm sure there's more, but this is all the weird I can take...
Pete, were you avoiding working this evening?
I think that last one leaves me scarred for life.
Occasionally I have to take a sanity break from the art. This one may have been a break, but not so much on the sanity.
I think that last one says "Crap! This assignment's due in thirty minutes!"
