The trouble is
When you make a clean spot, you have to keep going until the whole damn thing's done.
I'm not there yet, but I've had enough fun for one day.
But I could always have a little more fun. Like, perhaps, by reading FANTASTIC FOUR/IRON MAN: BIG IN JAPAN #3 again. That was a real blast of fun. Hyperdimensional terror has never been so entertaining. Simple linework has never been so disturbing (okay, Jim Woodring does this sort of thing very well, too). Not in recent memory has a Marvel comic been so headscratch inducing as in "How the hell did this thing get past the editors without them having an aneurysm?" It's a totally beguiling comic, yet true to the essential nature of the characters within. The presentation is just totally bonkers. Issue one was sedate enough, with just a few hints of what's to come. Number two began to move it into gear, but this issue just pushed the whole works off a cliff while on fire and the driver's singing Syd Barret lyrics at the top of his lungs.
It put a huge smile on my face. Can't wait for this to wrap up, if the last part is anywhere near as good as the first one.
As for my pigsty of an office, you never know what sort of things you're going to turn up when you actually straighten up. Like for instance, an autographed copy of You Back the Attack, We'll Bomb Who We Want by Micah Wright. Yes, that Micah Wright. Or perhaps a copy of Voyages, volume 1, featuring artwork by Alex Toth, Howard Chaykin, Craig Russel, Charles Vess and Jon Muth, all under the same cover. Then there's the collection of odd Lovecraft paperbacks, smelly old things. Oh yes, the Watchmen ephemera posters (Kyle Baker drawing a bunch of Katie-heads all admiring the fine Watchmen swag; the Westfield Games DC Heroes game supplement; and one other that I'm forgetting) are pretty keen, too. I'll park those next to the Graphitti edition on my shelf, I think. And my Pirate Corp$ page! I was wondering where that went off to... Oh yeah, the GoLive documentation that I've been scrupulously avoiding so I don't have to learn the program and actually...update my site...
Oh, I'm punchy now. I suspect I've been at this too long. Time to head off to bed and get through a few more chapters of the Showcase Presents: Green Lantern that's busy weighing down my nightstand. Man, that stuff gives you some weird dreams. Crazed silver-age goodness...
