7. "came through fine, didn't even lose power here" In response to Reply # 6
though two trees bordering our property came down on neighbors' yards... looks like they took power lines but didn't hit houses.
my folks are still out though and I had to run the chainsaw over to their rental property as they lost a tree... sad to saw up the tree that I grew up climbing... still has our rope swing on it.
Beach house is a different story though... the islands are still closed and likely to be until at least Thursday. Coupla pics from here & there available online... lots of damage/photos in back bay but no indications of beach block (folks' house is just land side of hte dunes). Only hint is that the lifeguard station used to be in the dunes 7 blocks from our place; now what's left is on the beach 9 blocks from our place. We'll find out more later, guess.

folks got down there this a.m. and it looks like the only issue is water in the crawl space. A headache, but incredibly minor compared to the possibilities and the unfortunate realities others are going through.
I've been checking in with some NYC folks. Thankfully they're all OK but a couple of them went through some straight up Cloverfield shit. It's crazy, I still feel like Katrina just happened yesterday

if there's any silver lining in this, it'll be that the East Coast finally figures out that if you're going to develop coastal property, you HAVE to work to protect it. Don't know what the hell they can do for Manhattan, but for the barrier islands, Christie's already said they're going to mandate dune growth projects. Or something, dude's a politician.
But dunes are wickedly important to island stability AND to wildlife, and they've known that for 50 years, so there's really no excuse for OCean City's (or Atlantic City's) boardwalk being over the water at high tide in 2012, with development right on the other side.
On a sadder note, the salt marsh museum I love posted this picture of their dock http://wetlandsinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/dock.jpg and there's no word from the local Zoo down there - which normally wouldn't concern me too much, but they've got some great animals worth protecting including a pair of 6 mo. old snow leopard cubs that live low enough that you go by their enclosure on a boardwalk.

not sure how well it would go over for you guys who don't know and/or appreciate old (really old) country music, but I've loved it. Quirky character captured beautifully by the art, and full of information I'd heard hints of but never known anything in-depth about.
Haven't popped in the CD for it yet but will do so soon.
Everyone who said Meru was a sleeper agent seems to have been right... I was skeptical, but she seems to be doing well, always getting away by the skin of her teeth. Lyme is badass, not just the 'make everyone feel good' dude he appeared to be last issue. Killer Kindt rocking it month after month.
This cat used o work at my LCS before making the jump to the big city. His new video was filmed at Toronto Fan Expo and is probably the only rap video with a Steve McNiven cameo in the history of the genre. Oh and there's about a million cosplayers in it as well.

if I were Vertigo, I'd try to shop out some short stories to different writer/artist teams just to really bring the world into full view. Snyder knows what he's doing, but the whole fabric is getting rich enough I'd be fine reading some other people work with it for a while, too.

Big reveal of Wingman didn't do much for me, but I enjoyed the character up to then.
Not really sure I understand Bruce's motivations in dealing with Leviathan/Talia. Also still don't understand and don't think Bruce understands the villain... if it Skeletor from the first couple pages, and have we seen him before? REgardless, great action, lots of fun, great comic.

Inbox me your name and mailing address by November 30th. Participate. Throw cool shit in a box and mail it to other PTP weirdos. Do not spend more than 25 buckaroos on your gift. I will email you confirmations and what-not Dec. 1st!!!!
whoa. Missed this one yesterday but spun through the shop today since I was down there anyway... good thing this week's books still weren't out b/c otherwise I woulda missed this completely.
Still working through it - a lot of bang for your $3.99. Only negative comment is that Brandon Graham could stand to take some lessons in punning from shock.
And buck, flipped through the MAD and caught your two entries. Congrats, my man.
and having read this issue pretty well, I'm not certain I'll be picking up #2... it was great in a lot of ways, but not entirely my cup of tea. Kind of thing I'd definitely check out of the library though!
And btw, what's up with MMAD having you write but not draw?Felt like you coulda done a better Lil Wayne than the one they used (which was pretty god, admittedly).
Ultimately it's their call, but I generally have a feel for how things will play out. If I pitch something about a specific famous person, such as Weezy, I'm 99% sure I won't be drawing it. Because likenesses and caricatures aren't really my thing. Whereas Mad has contacts with a bunch of great artists who are famous for that very thing. So, not to disagree with someone trying to pay me a compliment, but I get a big kick out of seeing other artists take on my ideas. Maybe it'd be different if I never got to draw, but for now I'm digging the fact that I can switch things up like that depending on what the joke calls for. Whether it's due to time or ability, I have a lot more ideas than I know how to execute, so this is a cool outlet for me.

a Twilight/Blade crossover spoof.
Loved seeing the Toilet saga... My wife has watched all 4 of the Twilight movies over the past week. Lousy movies, but they've been good for my sex life! (That said, I was appalled at the lack of female eye candy in the films.)
