Ladies, gentlemen, reprobates, thank you for lifting my lousy rainy morning.

All of the Alan Moore stuff is mind-bending, along with Neil Gaiman's stuff as well, especially Sandman.

Mondavi pinot grigio for drinky. Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies for dessert. Same for lunch tomorrow, minus the booze…

"Say hello to my leetle friend!"
