Reasonable indeed. As a side note, I've read his "Sabrina Online"
comic since the onset, and other that his insane preoccupation with
Amigas, it isn't bad. :-)
I still enjoy comics, and most of the independent ones are far easier
to read than the commercial stuff - for some reason, they've become so
abstract that it's impossible to read them with my eyesight. I
realize that the artists like to explore and be creative, but there is
this whole "story" thing that some of us want as well. (Case in
point: As we prepare to move, we've packed almost all out reading
material. I gave away all my X-Men compilations because I could not
read them any more. Yet stuff like Dave Sim's Cerberus is still quite
easy to digest. And, pretty damn funny to boot.)

If only it had better served its intended purpose. That still cheeses
me off.

Honest, I wasn't <giggle> thinking anything <snort> anything of
<guffaw> the sort!
Happy New Year to all.
