SPX was great fun and, as usual, I've found some neat new comics to follow up with.

There was one mini-comic that ladyaelfwynn picked up Saturday, however, that she found offensive. I took a look at it and can certainly see the point. At SPX you see lots of mini-comics of all kinds of quality. A fair number are nothing more than a few pages of quick

Normally with psychopath jokes you make the psychopath the antagonist of the joke, not the protagonist. It makes all the difference.

Good point. I'll have to remember that. A lot of these attitudes come out under the cover of jokes. I've never thought that the word "just" and "joke" belonged in the same sentence. They are things of power.

You aren't mistaken. I'm fairly certain that the felling stroke was a light saber thrust to the gut, very phallic.

I'm kind of surprised I didn't pick up on that tidbit of phallic imagery but then I was just so appalled by the murder that the details blurred.

Yep, good point. I didn't see that either but it's right in line. It wasn't a side to side stroke but an actual thrust through the abdomen.
