I still think about "Imagin' a vivid drownin' death in real low-light conditions... like the brig of a sinkin' ship" as a friend that truly knows the bottomless depths of his friend's ability to conjure the worst images his buddy can fathom.


Also I can't tell when the site changed but I miss the ability to start at the end and work back. Now I have to google "Achewood Golden Tabloid" for the strip I want.

If you have them, the arcs are all PDF bookmarks in the books too, but you'd have to know which year to look in.
