Sewing, heroes, webcomicshelp?

[torrain_circles]

So, kakkoi_hakujin walks up to me today and says "I hear you're a seamstress. I need a favour." And I put a shot of cinnamon whiskey in the Coke, because the scar from the last seamstressing hasn't gone away yet and I don't have my sewing machine handy and, you know, I'm passably good at it but still cringe when asked to do it for someone else in case I screw it up. But the drastic shortening and gentle tweaking of the jacket went well enough. Thread-fiddling may occur later.

========

Furthermore, I have decided that while I'm happy to read well-done dark and grim fiction with superheroes, I occasionally just want death-defying action and wonderful strange monsters and quips and a hero with style and grace and little bit of fencing skill. They'd never torture, they'd never lie, honour a promise if it meant they'd die... (Anyone recognize that without Googling it? Man, Wildberry coolers bring out my inner geek.) And you know, I started reading comic books for that. And I can't find it in comics anymore. They got serious sometime when I wasn't looking, and some of it's good, and a little of it's great, but it's not always what I want.

So I'm watching Doctor Who. Because I *will* have my dose of unabashed heroism,dammit.[1]

Speaking of which, Danny, this link's for you. Includes Daleks.

Also: I have discovered that I would like more webcomics to read. So... uhm... suggest a currently updating webcomic, and if I haven't seen it yet and like it, I'll draw you an icon or something? (Two if it updates exclusively on some combination of Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.)

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2002-05-27 any better?

[torrain.livejournal.com]

Nope. (Have you finished catching up on it yet? I recall you mentioned you were working on that a couple of weeks ago.)

[jagash.livejournal.com]

Not yet caught up to it.

Scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel

[torrain.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. Blastwave has a certain appeal. (Belph, not so much, also not updating.) Icon-age?

[jagash.livejournal.com]

Cool, can i trade the icon-age for feedback on my many (aka 3) deviations in my new DA account? (http://jagash.deviantart.com/)

[torrain.livejournal.com]

Without even looking, I am inclined to say no. Icons are easy and fun. Evaluation and coherent analysis are hard.

(And between the 23K word story and the cat food and the antibiotics and the hour and change sewing and the daily travel to the cat-sitting that I have been doing for assorted people, I am about out of hard favours for the fortnight.)

[jagash.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. :) Icons good though i am low on space for myself. *ebil grin* How about one for Angela to replace the disasters i seem to foist on her.

[torrain.livejournal.com]

That I can do. Any suggestions for what she'd like?

[jagash.livejournal.com]

Probably something involving either the kanji for Oni + Neko or something matching Chaos Cat.
