Home sick today. Difficulty with the whole sitting upright thing, noodly limbs, etc. Sun-cooked, something nasty in the mac and cheese, My First Virus by Fisher-Price, who knows? It's clearing out, and that's all I care about.

Got to plow through the The Men in Black omnibus. Very, very good - nasty black comedy, some genuine horror, and a Kay Kaiser joke. What more do you want in a comic?

Lowell Cunningham is pure evil. The good kind, obviously. Sandy Carruthers draws a bit like wossname who used to do X-Force and was in that annoying Levi's commercial, except that Sandy Carruthers had a handle on basic comprehensible comics storytelling, and a nice old-fashioned juicy inking style, so the art doesn't make you want to turn one of the pages sideways and slice your eyeballs open. (Uh...sorry, Bonita.) Sadly, I cannot say the same for X-Force, the first issue of which made me unable to enter a comics store for about six months when it first came out. In fact, I'm sorry I'm even thinking about it now.

Brave man.

I'm much better, thank you. The world gives an occasional lunge to the side, but I just assume it's a dimensional bubble and move on.

yeah, i think there are many random floating alternate dimension bubbles floating around...some of which are filled with illness, and they kinda bump ya from time to time. some others are filled with the urge to climb a tree and proclaim odd things. the latter is more fun :) and both are superior to that fog that turns people inside-out!
T minus 4 hours till depart. look out west coast, the slow wheels and the hard highway draw the storm ever nearer. ;)

501

I enevr read Marvel or Image comics, but I know the guy you mean--we called him "501" for years. It migth be Eric Larsen. If so, I remember wanting to beat him to death with a copy of Grey's Anatomy. He had thsi weird thing about big guns and people with too many teeth in their mouths.
