Enh. You don't have to apologize to me about excessive bracket use--I have been known to employ them quite a bit myself!
Now, it's not that I am not a Gaiman fan, but not that I am either. I really haven't read comic books much for years. Used to buy lots of different titles, but stopped buying books altogether during The Invisibles run (although I got my friend & comic store owner to hold onto whatever Invisibles were still to come at the time, and ended up getting them from him a year later!).
Heh, that's funny about the fictional character thing! I've been thinking a bit about that myself, and I don't really know who I'd pick...
As for 'the cat's iao', well, it's sorta' about a play on words, but I suppose there's some significance there as well. In some ways it is like your own dual natured description where the phrase "the cat's meow" can be used in both a positive and negative way ("'She certainly thinks she's the cat's meow,' Laura said with an acrid tone" or, "'Dude, that film was the cat's meow!' she said excitedly"). But, since I have an interest in things magic(k), the 'meow' goes to 'iao' to give a hint of that (the word 'iao' being associated with certain gnostic views regarding Abraxas--a godform thought to be beyond good and evil). So it kinda' tries to get at both good & bad, and beyond, I suppose...
That, and at the time it came to me I thought it was kinda' neat. |
