A Strange Aeon posted:It really was great. I haven't found his other stuff to be as engaging, though I haven't tried that Snot thing he's done yet. I should reread Scott Pilgrim. Snotgirl is interesting because it's the first thing where he's not doing the art as well. Also, Lottie is basically the apotheosis of the BLOM protagonist, wherein she's a crappy person but without the basic endearing qualities that get you to look past that for the first few chapters like in Seconds or Scott Pilgrim.

On a scale of Range Officer to Monkey, how dangerous is an elf with a gun

Probably about equal with monkey with a gun? They both kill a bunch of people.

I looked up where the Elf with a Gun comes from.quote:The Elf with a Gun was an entity of unknown origin who used a variety of bizarre disguises to murder seemingly random people for no apparent reason over a period of several months. His path almost crossed that of the Defenders a few times, but they never actually met him or learned of his activities. He was first seen in a trailer park in California where he knocked on the door of Tom and Linda Pritchett and presumably killed them both. He next appeared in Las Vegas where he killed Charles and Frances Lester and then disguised as a Native American shaman, killing a couple named Sally and Stu, and finally killing an unnamed female protester in a bathroom. The Elf (whose name was posthumously revealed to be Melf) was eventually run over by a truck before his motives could be established. Later, his nephew Relf apparently carried on his mission.

We were talking it over in the old "That Really Happened" thread, and apparently, Gerber himself did not intend for the "elf with a gun" sub-plot to go anywhere at all. He regarded it as a metaphor for the random cruelty of existence. Later writers were the ones who tried to do something with it, but if Gerber had had his say, it just would've been a weird background event that went absolutely nowhere. There are just random elf gunmen running around. C'est la vie.

Yeah, I have no idea who any of those people (other than Ronan) are, so I'm guess I'm missing the necessary context for the humor.

The first two are some of the new Inhumans created by Charles Soule and/or James Robinson so you don't need to worry about them. The last one is Maximus, the joke being that he doesn't give a poo poo about his dead parents yelling at him for being a monster.

In high school I worked at a movie theater with this girl who had a kid with a real creepy dude who came into the theater to pick her up with a shirt that said "less talk, more suck" on it. He also "gave her the gift of anal sex" one Christmas, which she loved telling people about. Anyway, her and this dude had a kid and named her Amidala.

Khaleesi is a more popular baby name than Elizabeth, and since Khaleesi didn't become popular until after the Game of Thrones tv show instead of the book, that's not including people who spell it wrong. Any day now some poor kindergarten teacher is going to have 3 different girls named that with 3 different spellings.

I hold the idiotic name trump card. I have the customers who named their loving child LADY RAINICORN. And they later had the kid taken away by CPS because they were feeding a loving newborn happy meals they ran through a blender.
