And you all thought Grace was just annoying~ But no! Azrael does get something in exchange for cartin’ his sorry silver carcass around.

And I love drawing little kid!Azrael. His hair is so floppy~ Also, I tend to draw both of his eyes in the sketch even though I know one of them is going to get covered up.

And Generic got an accent…he just demanded it. So there it is. *holds hands up*I obeyed! I obeyed! (He got a cast page finally, too, btw…)

In other news, I’m completely in love with Hanna Is Not a Boy’s Name. I read the entire thing in a single sitting this afternoon & the last time a comic made me laugh audibly and grin like an idiot page after page was True Magic. Good stuff.

“I am reaching from the depths of my soul,
Hear me pleading, I’m a child, I’m the poor, I am needing,
To draw on your virtue you better believe it,
Trinity don’t say good-bye,
And you know that time after time we will survive,
That’s why I’m still alive.”

“Trinity” by Paper Tongues (Aka The Latest Song I’ve Had on Loop For Way Too Long)

Saw A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) – Read about it on ze’ Blog. Short version? I don’t care what critics say – it was good. Go see it.

And now for the comic. We’re back with Azrael & Grace! Huzzah! And just so you know, I have not broken my vow to not introduce any new characters despite the two children in the above frame with Azzy. Ha ha ha ha. *evil laugher*

Okay, Reader Participation time to make up for the pin-up that no one got or commented on:

What did Grace threaten to do!?

Edit: All in color~ And now you can hopefully tell it’s Generic Burglar & Ruby Red joining Azrael for dinner. And for future reference – I always list the characters who appear in a strip in the tags. XD

“When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream”

“All I Have To Do Is Dream” by Roy Orbison

Ha ha. Boudica’s so cute when she’s mad. And if you can’t tell – Security is eating cake. Where did he get it? Who knows.

Let’s see…lots going on. Mike started a thread about Wiglaf on the forum. The Pair-a-Thon is on it’s leg – so far only two entries. Let’s get those in people!

Edit: Fixed Driver’s dialogue. I must have been more tired than I thought because I forgot to rewrite her dialogue with the accent. XD It’s all fixed now.

“Don’t you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication”

“Empty Walls” by Serj Tankian

Ha ha. Security seems to be channeling every evil squinty eyed character to ever grace anime. *inserts evil laughter*

Though, personally I think Margaret is the evil one today. Poor Wiglaf. *snicker*

“And that’s why we share all we have with you,
Though there’s little to be found.
When all you’ve got is nothing,
There’s a lot to go around.”

“Through Heaven’s Eyes” from Prince of Egypt

*yawn* Work is insane this week. I’m so tired….so, a quick WAM today. But it’s all good; we get to see Ruby.  *nods*

And I’m sure you’ll forgive me for the late and and quick copy/paste today. ‘Cause Sunday – something big for you guys. And I mean BIG.

So while you’re waiting, check out a good comic or two.

“I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sound you’re makin’
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel”

“Electric Barbarella” by Duran Duran

So okay, I’m sitting there drawing WAM and my Bro comes in:

“Hey, you wanna see Twilight at 10:20?”

“Sure.”

So then we go out to the movie, and I’m all prepared to do WAM when we get back, and then – Divine Intervention: The theatre’s air conditioning blew and the theatre filled with smoke. We never even got inside. The lesson?

“Thou shall not blow off WAM to go watch glittering vampires.”

Ironically, WAM will still be late. But by 30 or so minutes instead of a couple hours. In the meantime, enjoy this in progress shot of where I stopped working on WAM at 10:00PM.

Edit: Uploaded the finished comic….okay so it was an hour late. Heh. Boudica’s the luckiest girl in the world right now.

Here’s the in progress sketch I had up earlier if you’re interested.
