YOU'VE COME BACK

..TO MAKE ME SUFFER MORE

agony...

heartless

Yesterday I found out the hard way that someone else was using 'my' heart and crossbones logo (and registered it as a trademark). While in the grand scheme of things its not such a big deal cause I am a peon and this guy is a big shot now (and rightfuly so cause his work is very good) it still annoys me that I believe the guy lifted the design verbatim (up to the proportions and curvey bones) from back in 2001.

Pardon the pun but it broke my heart, truthfully that was how I felt - it's been a while since I've experienced this sick sensation... and damn it, I don't want to feel it again, ever.

"..in the manga" they saved the world

...on occation as you continue living, you come across a manga (time and time again) that really impresses you and humbles you - makes you think that everything you've made, written or drawn is a bunch of CRAP compared to its greatness...

That's how I feel when I read 20th Century Boys.
It is beyond words... a triumph of storytelling with no presumtous "cliches", flash, or blatant fan service. OH DA TEARS. Dramatic irony, and a twisted plotline that makes your mind go into an infinite moebius...

We've lasted this long...

Let's see just how far we can take this story...


...that's a really neat little toy. To those taking note, it's a COLT 'Detective Special' in .38 special - 6 shots... and yes, detectives really used to carry those in the 70s and before. Much like many COLT firearms, it's a very well made piece of steel (historically speaking) that got phased out.

I've recently been getting into revolvers - & want to try to get an old school COLT PYTHON in .357 but they're too expen$ive : ( especially for something I want to try out as a blind buy. But hey it's good enough for RYO SAEBA of CITY HUNTER, and it's gotten rave reviews as the best production revolver ever made. I'm mediocre with a revolver and I want to know how much of my performance with what I have, 'me', and how much is the quality control with the steel I'm shooting.
