I'm not sure where this should go, but this is the popular part of the board so:

My friend Ross just published his first written and illustrated graphic novel. It's wonderful and out on Oni. It's called Wet Moon, by Ross Campbell. Plus, one of the girl in the book is named after my cat, and I have a thank-you. Yay!

Congrats to your friend, Rain, from me!

What's the gist of the story?



"The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up.

Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck."

- Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980

I am the graphic novel/comic book buyer for a book wholesaler. We sell stuff to B&N's, Borders, lotsa independents and comic shops, libraries, and schools. It's good for publishers such as Oni who don't have sales reps and stuff to go out to smaller stores.

That's awesome, Rain. I'll have to check it.

"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge."

Cleo's roommate Malady is named after my cat. See?

Also, even though he won't admit it, he ripped off my college haircut for Trilby.

the girl or the hat? or both?

i knew a trilby once. she dated my boyfriend-at-the-time's best friend. she was cute and a bit of a freak -- i thought she had sweetness and strangeness in good combination. I thought she was pretty cool.

i don't know where she is now.
