Yes! Anyone remember "Bad Ronald" and "When Michael Calls"?

But not as well as Alan Moore, who also wears pants—sometimes.

Gaiman describes him as "don't fuck with me big enough" that he has no trouble in prison.

I don't know if Mooney's that smart. Didn't he ever see The Godfather? A murderous criminal excuses himself to go to the restroom and return with what you've earned, and he doesn't see the bullet coming (even if it was delivered by a surrogate)?

You shut your dirty hole!

Yeah, I'm guessing that was Searcy's idea. I knew he was conservative, but I really hoped he wasn't that kind of conservative.

I went in there about 8 or 9 years ago, and I swear to God Josef Stalin was behind the counter.

Thor had a few solid runs in the mid to late 70s. It's been too long and I no longer have those issues, so I can't remember who wrote them, but the John Buscema artwork certainly stand out.

Wasn't Thunderstrike pre-Jurgens? I just remember reading the first 12 or so issues of the Jurgens-John Romita jr. Thor reboot (when Thor was bonded with that young paramedic) in the late 90s and thought it was pretty decent superhero storytelling, though not anything earth-shaking like the Walt SImonson era.

I would have said yes just a few weeks ago, but now that he's shown up on that Kirstie sitcom, I'm afraid he's back on the shitlist.

Absolutely. He was letting her know what happens to women who try to eliminate their husbands.

@Drinking_with_Skeletons:disqus : Yeah, there are references to blood sacrifices to the gods and the blood that was the wine in the chalice at the last supper.
@ArthurEdens:disqus: The contempt goes both ways. All of Hemo's comments are dripping with disdain for the scientist and the writer, who is acknowledged as

Okay, I just looked it up, and it turns out my memory is a bit hazy (or I was traumatized by the film). There was no Orson Welles—I'm not sure what educational film I'm remembering him from—and the transparent man is a different character in the film. Hemo himself is a sort of god-king personifying blood and,

It was a short film mixing live action and animation meant to explain the circulatory system and the wonderful properties of human blood. I have vague memories of seeing it in junior high in the 70s. Hemo, I think, was a kind of transparent man whose veins, arteries and heart you could see. I could be confusing

That bombshell police sergeant died in prison a few years ago after contracting a hit on her brother-in-law.

And you know they named him agent 43 purely to set up that joke.

Adams's daughter was married to Jim Beaver. Yep, Sheriff Shelby's father in law was Maxwell Smart.

Chupacabra: It's not just sucking goats anymore.

I know, so on the cartoon they just decided to embrace the caricature.

Yeah, and before that there was a cartoon called "The New Adventures of Gilligan." I think Tina Louise would not let them use her likeness, and so the cartoon's ginger looked and sounded much more like Marilyn Monroe.
