Of course, doggy healing factor and all.
Oh good.
Went to Toronto's ComicCon today and got some goodies
Signed comics

My Puck commission from Dave Ross. Very nice man and I was very happy with the piece.

Oh that's a sweet commission - can you give a high quality scan for us to drool over?
Noice.
Wow! :) I have the original of the issue (I did want to find a copy of #121, which I don't have, in Vancouver, but didn't). Mine is by no means in Mint condition, but even if it was, I wouldn't try to sell it for that much.
OTOH, I looked up a CD the other day on Amazon and watched the prices creep up. After two pages, it was worth $30. Then there were four copies for over $1k each, then one for $2k.
I'll probably get one of the ones that was about $5.

My copy of #120 is the UK version (price in pence rather than cents) so I'd like to be able to get the US one oneday but I'd never pay anywhere near that.

She's wearing an Alpha Flight collar I made her, too, you just cannot see it in the pic.
Srs puppeh is srs. Her lip is caught on her tooth, she really doesn't have an uneven mouth.

I also received my #29-#46 in AF books, but have been so busy with zero time for reading since Friday.
AND! My AF t-shirt arrived, but it's about 5 sizes too big, and dammit, they really should make more comic shirts in lady sizes. :mad:
Cute dog. :) I had a dream last night that from a certain light, my dog looked entirely black (he was entirely white).
Sadly, that'll be just the beginning of your troubles as a female comic book reader. :(Quote:

Le Messor! First the thing about Mantlo's run, and now this THING about my most-likely future problems as a female comic book reader.
I feel like my future is doomed.
Thanks!Quote:

He eats his own vomit.
He'd eat yours, too, probably.
Crackity, NOBODY'll eat Le Messor's vomit, trust me.
It isn't so much that your future is doomed...as an Alpha Flight fan, we all had it so good with Byrne's run, that mediocre now seems terrible. John Byrne spoiled us, and now we are all ruined.
You must post this. It could win the "Coolest Thing Ever Award" for 2014.Quote:

awww, okay, but you have to understand it's a demo. And I ran the title through my software and had to take what it gave me. So, it's kind of a rough draft. I'll post it tomorrow. :DQuote:

Brilliant. Thank you, Le Messor. hahahaha, I think I automatically do this in everyday life anyway. :DQuote:

There's a few things I am not thrilled with in how this turned out, but for the most part, it pretty awesome, imo.
I want to work on the original title font and see if I can run that through my software and come up with anything good.
You're the artist; any dissatisfaction is up to you.
Me? I can't see the problem. Looks perfect!
The only critique I'd have is something you're already working on - I'd prefer the original logo. (And that's just personal preference anyway.)

Yeah, a pink Alpha Flight logo dog collar definitely wins "Coolest Thing Ever Award" (for 2014). Congratulations!
You're too kind, Le Messor, thank you!Quote:

I would have done the original logo, but the one I did was the one of the cover of the very first issue of AF I ever saw in the 25 cent bin. And it was that logo that caught my eye and made me get more issues out of that box. :D
Big Sigh...Quote:

It was issue #19. The Talisman one.Quote:

25 cent box days are my most favorite days.
I'm going to tell myself it's because they bought the trades, and didn't want both editions taking up space.Quote:

(It wasn't that way when I started collecting. There were two stores which had huge runs of back issues; one closed down, the other went through behind-the-scenes changes.)

I always complain that singles aren't as convenient to read as TPBs, but now that I am forced to read Mantlo's run in singles, it's a cozy feel.Quote:

I'd agree that trades are more convenient.
Better colour separation and printing can exist in them, too, and I do prefer that.
Done right.

My friend from Sydney just went to Supanova, where he met Stan Lee and Alan Davis.
