Strips about "The Christmas In September" go back, yea, unto the site's very founding. This was during a time where "sites" were a thing, luckily we came to our right minds and converted the frontier into a series of corporate intranets. Dodged a bullet, there. But! There are several more strips in that vein, and there are two strips in particular that have the visual cues to help you understand the rich lore he has been embroidering the holiday with. I should tell you that he and I never once discussed a single stitch of this stuff. I'll just get a strip outta nowhere and he's got a fez and there's a fish for some reason.
I can usually remember where I found a cool word, and I learned the word Interregnum from Steven Brust. He has a couple series that I enjoyed, and they're related; the Vlad Taltos books are about an assassin in a world where resurrection is a commodity, and death mostly an inconvenience. Then - as if I did not like him enough - he wrote a few books called The Khaavren Romances in the style of The Three Musketeers' Alexandre Dumas, which are historical adventures set in his own Goddamn world. If they were bad, or rang false, we should punish him. Alas! They fuckin' kick ass!
No #Fridabe today because Dabe is working hard "exporting assets"(?) for PAX AUS, and I'm working on something for the main stage. Intrigued?! Well, you ain't the only one: All 3-Day Passes are sold out, all Saturdays are sold out, and almost all the Fridays are sold out - this is like in a space movie where there's a big metal door coming down, and you have to slide under to escape. I wouldn't risk trying to go day of: get your mitts on the tix that remain.
(CW)TB out.
