    Excellent and much appreciated. All on the list!
  2. I think you are correct. I wondered if it was too, and a quick google search seems to confirm. But then again, I have a terrible eye.

    Thanks @Graeme - I'll look into each of those. I've heard about Persepolis. I think Gomeshi did a segment on Q a while back. Looks really great.

    I was impressed. It told the story well, the art was compelling, and (speaking as a US historian) the history was pretty good, given the limited space available to tell such a complex story. I'll be reading more.
  5. So sorry to hear this news. Losing a pet is terrible. Full stop.
  6. I can't claim any knowledge of any of the pics, and I have a bad eye for picking out photoshops. You may very well be right.

    Awesome! Thank you for the suggestions. I just picked up DMZ.

    In the last couple of weeks I've found myself beginning to look into graphic novels. I haven't read comics in more than 20 years, but a friend pointed me to a great one on Gettysburg. Does anyone have any recommendations for a neophyte comic reader?
  9. Tattooed Seniors Finally Put A End To The Question "But What About When You're Older?"
  10. He's coming to Toronto? Hmmm.....
  11. That sounds like a better way to camp. The last time my friends went camping, I drove back to town each night and stayed in a hotel. Sleeping on rocks with rowdy fellow campers was never really my thing. Cheers to those who enjoy real camping - this seems more my speed.
  12. My wife and I regularly go and get tattooed. Its a really nice feature of our marriage.
  13. Love this so much. Dan did such a great job.
  14. I'm going to make myself unpopular here, but for me, anything but metal works. I should expand on that statement. I actually don't mind metal, its just not for me while I'm getting tattooed. I regularly have some on my iPod.
  15. I'm just starting the calorie counting too. Long walks and lots of being hungry. It will get easier in time.
  16. I've read the first two, and I will read the rest. I just don't have the time to read like I once did. Sadly.
  17. @cltattooing Well played! My local newspaper put a spoiler on the front page today. Not a happy camper, here.
  18. Hey Rob - That's rough. Wishing you and your wife all the best.
  19. Definitely never too old to have fun. My pop heli-skied well into his 70s. I hope I have that kind of energy when I hit my 60's and 70's.
  20. I have some text-based art. I have a couple of pieces that chart the fonts of our local transit system over the last 60 years. I love that kind of graphical representation.
  21. Oh God. Its true. I've recently moved to a large warehouse loft and my first thought was that I could build kitty-infrastructure like that. I may have to hit the hardware store on the way home. We are ridiculous. Our littlest cat was scared by a bug the other night. His tail went all poofy and my wife and I went rushing over to console him. Over a bug. A small bug. Sigh.
  22. IT may not be all that recent, but 5 months ago I pulled the plug on Facebook. Last month we finally ditched cable. Feels good. Very, very, good.
  23. I've been marking undergrad papers - its not shitty, but it can be a little overwhelming when the stack is so large it threatens to block out the sun! For what its worth, I always find essay writing painful. Oddly satisfying, but painful. Good luck with your paper.
