Whatever you say, Diode.

Here's the complete Don Quixote saga Leaf has been put through for the last month. (Alt text included!) I'd like to be hit on the head with a million dollars or something. #comics
Unbound 459 - Panel #1: Leaf placing a book on a shelf. A book wobbles on top of the book case. Panel #2: The book falls. It is the novel "Don Quixote." Panel #3: *THUNK* the book falls of Leaf's head. Panel #4: Galley, "Leaf! Are you ok!?" Panel #5: Leaf now dressed as a Spanish knight, "I am the greatest knight in the world!" Galley, "Oh boy." Unbound 460 - Panel #1: "Ok Slug, Leaf got hit on the head and isn't himself." Panel #2: Leaf, "I am DON QUIXOTE!" Panel #3: Galley, "So I thought he could help you janitor for a while." Slug, "ME!?" Panel #4: Leaf, "Oh vorpal sword, bestow thy strength upon me..." Panel #5: Leaf quickly pulls a plunger out of a toilet. Slug, "Keep that away from me!" Unbound 461 - Panel #1: Galley, "Is leaf doing any better since he hit his head?" Slug, "No." Panel #2: Leaf, "I need a steed!" Panel #3: Slug, "He's obsessed with finding a horse now." Panel #4: Leaf, "BEHOLD! My valiant steed!" Panel #5: Galley, "A nineteen ninety-seven Geo Tracker!?" Slug, "With low miles!" Unbound 462 - Panel #1: Slug, "Galley, Leaf needs to stop. We have to hit him on the head again." Galley, "So it's come to this." Panel #2: Leaf, "I must slay the-" Panel #3: "THUNK" Slug knocks Leaf over the head with a book. Panel #4: Galley, "Slug! What have you done!? What did you hit him with!?" Panel #5: Leaf, "Take me to your fiscal officer." Slug, "We're being audited." Galley, "NOOOOOO!"

The Duellists would be impressive as someone's last film, but it's Ridley Scott's first. Finally got to see Akira in Imax. Patlabor 2 is good, but a lot like reading a very dense book. And Watch Out, We're Mad is a gem I didn't know existed. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky

The Funny Pages exhibition is a genuine labor of love.

Indiana has so much major creative ties to the comic industry that is quite often overlooked. So many people have come together to help make this happen.

I hope you guys will consider coming October 2nd - October 31.

I laughed. I cried. I became one with a greater consciousness. Just got home from peeling my body off the Imax screen. Worth it. Would go again.

Greg’s rhetoric knows no bounds. #comics
Diode 009 - Panel #1: Diode, "I don't know if letting you live in my head is a good idea." Greg, "Look Diode..." Panel #2: Greg continues, "I'm a master negotiator. Let me live in your head and I'll teach you everything I know. Panel #3: Diode, "Hmm..." Panel #4: Diode stunned, "WHOA. You are GOOD at this."

Maybe it's silly, but the biggest thing that motivates me to go to bed every night is the prospect of delicious coffee in the morning.
