New Shift

23:42 / 19.07.08

I can sing Disco.

23:43 / 19.07.08

I designed Simone Bianchi, y'know. True truth.

Also, disco.

And apple pie.

23:44 / 19.07.08

I once burped and squished three parallel Earths down into one single Nickelodeon kids' show.

23:45 / 19.07.08

Apple Pie was perfect in the 80's.

Just like Disco.

23:46 / 19.07.08

Has anybody else noticed that Bat-toys aren't being marketed in connection to the new film, but noticeably ignoring it's very existence?

Never saw that with a Superman flick's tie-ins.

Just saying.

23:48 / 19.07.08

I hadn't noticed, but I don't really pay attention to the toy section of Tescos.
Especially after I found my Srah Jane Adventures Sonic Lipstick and Watch for £2.50.

23:54 / 19.07.08

I wouldn't have noticed, probably, except for commercials running while I'm watching the Hellboy cartoons.

00:02 / 20.07.08

There are Hellboy cartoons? I'm slightly ashamed of my inability to like Hellboy, I like a lot of Mignola's other stuff, but the pancakes strip is the only Hellboy I've enjoyed

00:11 / 20.07.08

I've liked the short stories better than the longer ones, the early more than the more recent, but still, on the whole I'm a fan. Iron Shoes was fun.

00:05 / 21.07.08

The short Hellboy stories far surpass the longer, epic attempts -- though I think my favourite is still the first ten or so pages of The Island wherein HB washes up on a gothic shore, stumbles around, and has rum with the haunted skeletons of dead sailors. Not the entire two parts of the story, just those pages. Creepy and gothic and unfinished like that.

I managed to fire up and post the second installment of my current writing project today, which owes some small inspiration to Mignola's Bureau, I suppose.

02:15 / 24.07.08

So, it's 11:15pm. Ive spent the better on and off of the day degassing wine, fighting with my computer and triageing (sp?) my photos. And the rest of you? Are you out there?

dark horse

02:41 / 24.07.08

hi! this is my first late shift...

Welcome aboard!

thanks man but i think i'm going to have to crash out early, had a hard day at work and smoked a bowl so i'm zzzzzzing off... man overboard!

03:04 / 24.07.08

hehehe... newbies.

G'night Wild

23:59 / 24.07.08

Good...evening.

00:00 / 25.07.08

That pause made me feel uncomfortable.

00:18 / 25.07.08

I love that you're Essential now. How was meeting Galactus, anyway?

02:06 / 25.07.08

Aliens stole large sections of this week. Publishing aliens entrenched deep in too-pricey parts of Los Angeles. They made me sell my soul for biscuits and then stole the biscuits out from under me.

02:08 / 25.07.08

I was wondering why soul biscuits were so cheap on the Auction House. Must have over-stocked.

02:11 / 25.07.08

I'm a bit afraid of the one with the cross on it. Didn't know I had it in me.

So how's life in the Keggersphere, tonight?

02:16 / 25.07.08

Good. No complaints. Well, few complaints.

02:26 / 25.07.08

And you? Besides the whole being souless and biscuit-free?

02:27 / 25.07.08

I'm not sure if the dog's trying to discourage me from posting, or if she just thinks she has more interesting things to type than I do.

02:33 / 25.07.08

Watch it or you may end up with a computer full of Lassie, Rin Tin Tin fanfic

02:44 / 25.07.08

Or virulent posts about Streaky the Super-Cat. I'd watch that.

I'd hunt publishing aliens with you any day, Dcdnt. Say the word.

02:51 / 25.07.08

I feel this board is now severely lacking in Streaky the Super-Cat posts. We aso need more Comet commentary.

I think the horse represents the faltering of class 'lith into the black kryponite era, while Streaky is a stand-in for steadfast aristocratic apathy and hunger for small furred vermin.

02:55 / 25.07.08

The lightning on Streaky's fur indicates the aristocracy's overindulgence on energy resources, of course.

Apocalipstix is awesome, by the way. You should go buy that to chase away publishing alien doom.

02:55 / 25.07.08

Steaky the WOndercat?

02:56 / 25.07.08

Supergirl's pet cat, exposed to X-Kryptonite and bestowed with faux-Kryptonian powers.

03:00 / 25.07.08

Ya see that, that right there is why I dont wander into the comics forum.

03:06 / 25.07.08

Cat-phobia? Or, just a kryptonite purist?

Anyhow, yeah, I'm definitely grabbing Apocalipstix soon! Everyone seems to love this thing!

03:11 / 25.07.08

Cat-phobia? Or, just a kryptonite purist?

No, just rather not expose myself to something that should only be found in bad animé.

Yeah, Apocalypstix looks pretty interesting.

03:29 / 25.07.08

It's not really *deep*, but it's super, super fun. Giant ants!

Now I'm in the middle of the big-ass 500-page reprint of Scott McCloud's ZOT!, which is also super-fun.
