Why don't they call them Comedic Romances anyway, then I might see one some day.

Anyway, Deadgirl is sort of a romantic comedy.

That was sort of fucked up.

For everyone else, I just finished watching:

It had nothing to do with Ecstatix.

Hellboy: The Bride of Hell

I'm embarrassed to say that this is the very first Hellboy comic I've ever read. Though I did get the first trade from Fourthman for Christmas; thanks again Fourthman!

I liked it. It did seem a bit derivitive in nature, but having never read a Hellboy before, I found the character himself to be fun and fresh. This has made me even more excited to delve into that first volume.

Story: 6
Art: 7
My Score: 6.5

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye.."

Asking Trump to be President is like asking a zombie for a rim job.

Most banned book of 2009.

EDIT: From wiki:

And Tango Makes Three is a 2005 children's book written by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson and illustrated by Henry Cole. The book is based on the true story of Roy and Silo, two male Chinstrap Penguins in New York's Central Park Zoo. For six years they formed a couple and were given an egg to raise. The book follows part of this time in the penguins' lives, but not subsequent events.
The book has won many awards but also been at the center of numerous censorship and culture war debates on same-sex marriage, adoption and homosexuality in animals. The American Library Association reports that And Tango Makes Three was the most challenged book of 2006, 2007, and 2008, as well as the most banned book of 2009.[1][2]

The Goon is a good example of how One Shots can fail. It tells a great stand alone story, but will be incomprehensible to folks that have never read the Goon before because they won't know who or what anyone is and what they are doing. It think it was a brilliant comic and some of the best Pantomime work I have seen outside of the introduction to The Hunter by Cooke, but it relies heavily on the reader being familiar with the work at large.

It was my first issue of The Goon and I had no trouble whatsoever following it. Unclench you snobby fuck.
