Amazing! Too bad this isn't drawn by Dale! But the last pic is pretty nice considering the two first ones.

[Phil]

I'm getting a few blank covers and my aim is to get Dale to draw one for me!

[Sypes]

I hope you are able to score that! No one, in my mind, could do it better justice!

They covered this on CBC AS It Happens, kind of wondered why they didn't ask why the event wasn't in Canada, with them being Canadian and all. And where's Marrina, I can see the rest of AF, Puck is easy with Kyle's parents.

[Phil]

Marrina's just behind Puck, next to Rogue.

Iceman's ice-slidey-thingy being directly over the crowd of onlookers seems a little dangerous; if it is hot out there, pieces of ice could drop down and hurt somebody! That is just irresponsible.

Art looks nice.

Whoopi - "Marvel is making history with a comic hitting newsstands tomorrow. In Astonishing X-Men #50, openly gay X-Man Northstar wil propose to his boyfriend Kyle, with a gay wedding to follow in an upcoming issue. That's kinda fantastic."
Elisabeth - "That's good."
Whoopi - "You know what I love about this? When I was a kid and bought these magazines, you never saw an array of people. Now there are black people there, gay people there ... it's kind of amazing."
Barbara - "Good for them."

I've never seen The View. Is that really all it is? A bunch of people bending backwards to say how they're on the latest left-wing cause-du-jour, all hopping on the bandwagon to agree with each other?

I'm reminding of the Family Guy (I think) version, where they all turn into chickens...

Well the proposal didnt go as planned haha.

[Mokole]

OK, I see her now. Nice to see Judd up front. Nice image of him. Would be cool to see him get his own miniseries.

The answer to that is somewhat subjective, but to be succinct; yes.

But they do MORE than that; they also regularly bash the right-wing politicians (or those in favour of them), and yell loudly (is there any other way?) over top of anybody who disagrees with them.

and yell loudly over top of anybody who disagrees with them.

Ah, I recognise that. That's tolerance of all viewpoints, that is. One of the favourite left bandwagons!
