To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah, I shot precious coffee through my nostrils when I saw that this morning.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am very glad I hadn't gone to get coffee, because it would be everywhere except in my belly where it belongs right about now.
That's a thing of beauty.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Was anyone following Lucifer? I'm sad to see it ending, but pleased that it had such a good run. There's a nice article about it over at Popmatters.

Didn't it end months ago? I've been reading it in the TPBs, so for me it won't be over for a little while yet. But yeah, I thought Carey did an amazing job. It made me happy that Lucifer remained such a complete asshole throughout. I mean, that's a tricky character to base a series around.

Well, it was released at the end of June, so I guess it has been two months. I've been reading it in spurts, though, so I hadn't been buying it off the shelf.

Heh, I wasn't sure myself. I think I deliberately stopped noticing the floppies at some point when I knew they would tempt me with their shiny newness.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I read it up through the end (using the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman loophole I gave myself for my No More DC policy). Wasn't terribly impressed by the final issue though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, it's over? I guess that means I can start reading it all eventually.

I did think this bit from that Popmatters piece was goofy:
Like a lot of Gaiman fans, I was outraged that DC would try to milk even more money out of Neil’s precious creations
Oh, please. Because I'm sure no Gaiman fan buys the reissues and spin-offs and statues and posters and action figures and stuffed animals and whatever else. I'm not thrilled that there's such a market for all that crap, but it's not DC I blame for that.
